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. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. 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.

Top 10 classic dramas 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Taken from New TVB Series Dicussion Forum

Top 10 classic dramas were :"TVB Weekly has a survey with 50 personals from showbiz and more than 100 audience on which is the drama serial that they wished to watch again. The top 10 classic dramas :

Return of the Condor Heroes (Andy Lau, Idy Chan)
Duke of the Mount Deer (Andy Lau, Tony Leung)
The Greed Man (Adam Cheng, Lau Ching Wah)
Don't Look Now
The Fearless Duo (Miu Kiu Wai)
The Breaking Point (Leon Lai)
Feud Of The Two Brothers (Alex Man, Carina Lau)
Police Cadet '84 (Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung)
The Final Combat (Stephen Chow, Francis Ng)
Man's Best Friend (Louis Koo, Sammi Cheng)
"

One wonders whether these people have short memories or quite simply the majority of them have a bad case if poor taste.

Man's Best Friend? The Final Combat was funny but did they mistaken this as The Final Justice? Is it called Final Justice, the one with Stephen Chow and Alex Man? What about Looking Back In Anger? What about ..what about..what about???? The Breaking Point was ok BUT classic? That is a very big term to live up to. The Greed of Man? Quite nice, very dramatic but hardly a classic. What about Journey To The West? Old Time Buddies? And many more? The ones with Deric Wan and Maggie Siu? What about the recent ones? Is this list limited to certain years and certain selection?

Maybe Man's Best Friend do deserve a second viewing because one is probably bored to comatose would be death in the first viewing.

I would rather think this survey is a result of quite simply forgetfulness. I guess so. I am sure of it.

By the way I am THIS CLOSE to flying to HK and go down on my knees and beg Shirley Yeung to quit acting. Her performance was simply awful in Shine On You, now retitled Shame On You in memory of her awful performance. Quite like Keira Knightley in Pride And Prejudice, another awful movie. I am just glad imdb.com has some honest good reviews about this movie and they're right. Maybe the director mistaken Pride And Prejudice as Little Women because Keira Knightley reminded me so much of Jo March. Please let them remake Little Women, let her act in it and let Jane Austen's soul rest in peace instead of being so called revived with this pure junk.

The ones with Deric Wan and Maggie Siu?

Funn, which Deric/Maggie series u are talking about? There are 2 series where Maggie and Deric are leads.

- Blood of Good and Evil
- Conscience

Blood of Good and Evil is my all time favourite series. I can't believe this great series is not on the list. Conscience is also a very good movie imo.

Anyway, this list is on series the 50 showbiz personal and 100 audience wish to watch again, not list of best ever series. So, i think it is perfectly ok if they want to list Man's Best Friend and The Final Combat (though I'm pretty surprise myself especially for Man's Best Friend). The Final Combat is pretty classic imho. U can't remake such a series anymore because the will be no 2nd Stephen Chow. The Final Combat is also the one and only martial art series Stephen Chow starred in.

Hi Funn,

I agree with kidd, that "Blood of Good and Evil" is one of TVB's greatest series. Along with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," BOGAE is the only series that I've rewatched more than 5 times. I would also include "Looking Back In Anger" on my all-time favorite list too.

If you were to compile your personal list, which series would you include? Most of your reviews are for series from the 90's...hehe so I suppose that was your favorite TVB era, back during the days of Gallen Lo and Esther Kwan at TVB? :)
