SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind.

The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Recommended TV Shows 
Permanent link Post a Comment

TV series, quite a few. Only for those who has ASTRO or is living in Malaysia. All highly recommended by me and for those who doesn't rent TVB series anymore, some suggestions to keep you company when you're at home with nothing much to do.

For one, CSI is still the best, CSI : Miami the worst, and now CSI : New York, somewhere in between. Very illogical plots that one with many bad actors (check out that wood who plays the young detective forever in some black leather jacket) BUT Gary Sinise was the reason why I watched it and the reason I will continue watching. I always thought Gary Sinise as someone intelligent, someone humble, someone wholesome, great actor, always there BUT only in CSI : NY did I see him in a new light; I find him exceedingly good looking in there and his character with nicely cut suits and intense looks, he was rather sexy, an intelligent thinking kinda man. Really CSI did him justice but the plot...can do better lar. His acting though is superb. Like I love the character Grissom, same way I feel about his character. Watch it for Mr Sinise, in a whole new light. Showing every Tuesday at 10pm ASTRO Ch 17 and repeats on Wednesdays 11pm and Sundays 2pm I think.

The next one is Lost by I think the creator of Alias. The lead actor looks like Adam Sandler, only better looking. The rest of the cast are mostly unknowns but you have seen them somewhere, like well the most famous is the Hobbit from The Lord of The Rings. The story is intriguing, revealing a little about each character week by week, acting quite alright but it's the storyline that's compelling. Definitely worth following. Showing every Thursday 10pm ASTRO Ch 17 I think.

What else? No more Absolutely Fabulous, replaced with The Office, don't quite like it. After a while it's not funny anymore, just annoying.

Chat shows one that must be watched is Parkinson on Sundays Ch 70 9pm. The episode featuring Will Smith was really very revealing AND very funny. The other is The Kumars At No. 42 on Sundays 7pm Ch 70 with repeats on Saturdays 11pm. You can basically not watch all other chat shows after watching these two because the American counterpart seems lifeliess and shallow in comparison. For one, Parkinson is my favourite chat show host now.

Then there's Air Crash Investigations on Ch 52 every Tuesday 10pm with repeats on Sundays 7pm. You must watch this one as I have been repeating quite often. Check out also What Not To Wear on local channel 8 (ASTRO Ch 18) on I think Tuesdays 11pm. I love the sarcastic Trinny and Susannah but I must admit, they were right about what not to wear and what to wear. If you see a repeats on Human Mutants on Ch 50 ASTRO, do catch them since they were scary BUT educational and very revealing in how we see ourselves. I also love watching Screensavers on Ch 13 TechTV which is everyday 10pm I think as I think the young host Kevin Rose knows what he is saying and to me he is the most unnerd of all nerds which is how a computer genius is called, unflatteringly if you ask me. I am a fan of his and I find his explanations indepth but quite difficult to follow but still educational.

Quite a few more shows out there that deserves to be watched, at least once if not weekly. Like the Food Programme on Ch 30 ASTRO on Sundays 8.30pm by the renowned Tou Tou. Delicious but scary the way he eats. I enjoyed his segments with Fiona Yuen who is now replaced with someone who eats as much but not that good in conveying her opinions on the food she tasted.

Then there's Saturday Night Live on Saturdays Ch 91 11pm but watch that once in a while since it is like 4 year old you know. The jokes are still funny but not that relevant. The best are those on the election and Bush and Kerry of course. But that time clashes with Kumars At No. 42 so I often switch back and forth.

Sometimes I watch back old series like Yesterday's Glitter on Ch 34 ASTRO on Saturdays for few straight hours. So much more better than PONR, acting superb but you can only take in so much tragedy in one day you know. Nowadays the old shows shown on Ch 34 (TVB series) are mostly very good series so any one of them is worth a watch. I plan to rewatch Burning Flame.

Ch 30 ASTRO that is current TVB series is kinda boring right now with 8.30pm weekdays we have Summer Heat. A series with a serious identity crisis. For one, the title sounds like some teen series on some beautiful beach with bikinis and all, the Chinese title sounds like some comedy horror story, the themesong sounds like some light hearted series and yet the series is very serious series about death, murder and investigations. Very confused series.

9.30 pm weekdays we have Net Deception. Disappointing and I stopped following it closely since I have other shows worth watching and even Wong Hei and Myolie Wu can't save the illogical story. It has its moments, but too little. I have never seen such bad police work if you ask me and this series has that every night!

Then there's American Idol 4 every Wednesday 8pm and results on Thursday 8pm. A must watch for me.

What else?

I think that's about it. Are you watching any of the series mentioned above? Do drop a note to tell me your opinion of them.

Stephy, I wouldn't call Bo the best since NONE of them can do dance music decently. But he and Constantine were very good but the worst was Carrie Underwood. She literally buthered Donna Summer's song and I was so surprised that everybody said she was good simply because of the last note irrespective of the fact that she was tuneless for 99% of the song.

I think Scott will be out though.

Don't u know by now that Americans love high notes? Remember all those praises for Jennifer Hudson and Latoya London?

To them, good singer = wide range + ability to sing high notes.

People like Richie Ren and Emil Chow will probably get kick out in the first round if they compete in American Idol.

I wonder whether a crooner will ever win American Idol.
