The Popularisation of SCV

Nowadays everybody has cable TV. I am probably the last carbon based person on Earth to not have cable TV

For awhile, I was thinking why the hell would people pay extra money to watch other country shows. Already got mediacorp shows. Somemore is free one okae? Cable so expensive still got people waste money

But now I know why. After exams, I sit down properly and watch alot of shows, both variety and drama. And I became enlightened TV buddha after the shows

Channel 8 is bad bad and bad. Channel U, after returning to MediaCorp, go down slope. Singapore not many slopes but Channel U still manage to go down one. Not bad

The slogan for channel U is leading Asia's trend (带动亚洲流行) Whoever thought of this slogan must be joking. Either that or he is self delusional. How can a channel that show old episodes of variety shows known as leading Asia's trend. Taiwanese popular show 'Mr Con and Miss Csi' was going on for so long and only recently Channel U then bring in the show. Where got lead? Lead the backside arh??

Another popular show 'Variety Big Brother' by Zhang Fei is way behind in the latest episodes. And the most up to date one, ' Guess' by Jacky Wu, they have to cut the interesting parts to fit into one hour. Channel U is really getting from bad to worse.

Why the hell Superfunkies is still not yanked from the primetime slot when it is hosted by such mediocore hosts. Who the hell is watching anyway besides those fans at the live recording?

The only show that I liked is Shoot on every Wed because it is the only show that has Quan Yifeng. And please dun get me started on Superhost. It is so yesteryear. Why have another competition where no one is really interested.... except yuneng maybe.

Channel 8 no need to say liao. Always got some Qianlong or Kangxi (qing dynasty historical show) show on u noe. Either that or some boliao Korean Drama or Movie. The most Boliao is Tong Xin Yuan (Portrait of Home) Seriously, Holland Villiage was good. Double happiness was blindly done. Portrait of Home I think it is done by Xiaoming one, my amateur TV producer neighbour

Sometimes I see the shows on Channel eight really want to push me to scold bad words in front of my family. Lucky havent yet.

Channel 5 is sometimes okae sometimes bad. They as usual show all the good show at 3am in the morning. Then bad ones like fear factor and dun noe what Biggest loser they show primetime. Their sense of timing really better that the spoilt clock in my house. And the king of all the ultimate cheesy shows, Lifeline by Gurmit Singh and Co. Seriously, can the lines be more cheesy than Pizza Hut pizza which have three types of cheese. Can they be more corny than the man who stand in the corner of the room eating corn. The answer is yes

The only good thing is Harry potter movies or Spiderman movies or X man movies which are blockbusters of the YEAR. Plus the good shows at 3 am. If you are an owl of course. That or the horny cat calling every night at my block downstairs.

No wonder SCV so popular. National Geographic the channel more interesting than any of our Channels

Enough said. Those who dun agree stop breathing for the rest of your life.Those who want to say they like Lifeline talk to my hand. Or you can talk to my butt lah. No difference
