The typical word order in Swedish for a statement is Subject-Verb-Adverb-Prepositional Phrase. 'Jag' (I) is the subject, 'tittar' (watch) is the verb, 'ofta' (often) is the adverb, and 'på tv på kvällarna' (on TV in the evenings) is the prepositional phrase.
This is a polite request. 'Kan du snälla' (Can you please) starts the sentence, followed by the verb 'sätta på' (turn on) and the object 'tv:n' (the TV).
The sentence begins with 'Det finns' (There is/are) to introduce existence. 'Ingen bra film' (no good movie) is the subject, and 'på tv ikväll' (on TV tonight) describes where and when.
