I don't mean to sound stupid but I am curious. To be frank, I doubt it.
If they were, I think it would consist of dramas produced, edited, acted, and written by Kim Jong Il. It is a communist country.
Imagine.... Kim Jong Il's Full House, Kim Jong Il Sonata, My Kim Jong Il's Girl, Princess Kim Jong Il Hours, My Name is Kim Jong Il, I'm Sorry, I Worship You, My Sassy Kim Jong Il.

That's frightening.

What do you think? Do you know any of the North Korean dramas out there?

the place looks deserted

I'm not sure if there are any dramas, but there are movies.

And yes, those movies all do glorify Kim Jong Il . . . everything from the media to music.

They have their own TV sets, but the television and the channels were controlled by the government. Its illegal to tamper their TV Sets AFAIK.

They also have dramas, but probably most of those were propaganda stuff and anything about their leader/s.

Examples of a North Korean Show(Drama and stuff) :

I know KBS did a joint production with North Korea for a historical drama that aired about a year or so ago that used completely North Korean actors. You could probably find the drama website somewhere on KBS, I never really looked into it. But other than that I have no clue what kind of television they get other than the usual propaganda.

those are some entertaining titles and they probably make good spoofs.

any ways i doubt it too, since i saw a short clip about N.Korea and they all seemed to be living under a rock.

There could be.

I was watching a documentary once, and it shows that some North Koreans have VCR players.
There would be random power outages, so if they were watching illegal content, the videos would be stuck in there and they would be caught.

But who knows what the dramas would be about.

Whoa, it seems a bit like George Orwell's 1984 over there in North Korea. But I love the titles that you suggested - My Name is Kim Jong Il and I'm Sorry, I Worship You made me laugh out loud for some reason.

you know i remember this one review about that certain joint drama KBS did with N Korea and because somehow the author have some idea what kind of films or dramas were once played in NK, she talked about how different that drama felt

so that implies that they do watch some form of dramas and movies

i don't think so because most of the citizens barely have televisions and plus they don't have those signals.
plus, the only time i think i saw them watch television was where an orchestra came and played where it was on the news of course.
