TV Programme - 20091019

For people who have not subscribed those paid channels, and need to stick to the fucking TVB or damning ATV, it would be very unfortunate.

Thanks to monopoly, TVB would never produce satisfactory stuff. Originality is always out of reach; even for the copycat shows, like 「超級巨聲」, the production is incomparable to the learning target. No matter MCs, participants or judges, the software just seems a bit short. Even worse, those local soap operas are simply unwatchable. Every plot is more or less the same farce, though there may be a slim difference regarding the space and time of the background. Nonetheless, the main actors would never let you down, in the nature of suckness.

ATV seems to have sheerly given up the local production. You could only watch Korean produced series at night. Though, at least, it would be more entertaining than its opponent. However, the most abominable thing is, the out-dated 「還珠格格」, already shown on Monday to Friday's afternoon, would be encored like transmigration, on Saturday and Sunday.

Luckily, we could turn to paid channels. For example, on last weekend, the "Discovery Travel & Living" provided me various entertaining shows. From "Globe Trekker", I have a glimpse of India; Anthony Bourdain would always make you giggle in his "No Reservation", though he doesn't smoke anymore in front of the camera. Want some excitements? You could always switch to the sport channels. Those high intensity tennis matches like the final between Nadal and Davydenko was ready. Of course, the English Premier League football could always serve us the usual fun.

So again, we should treasure the joy which competition brings us.
