As Seen On TV

Inspired by Lilian's take on House, here's a quickie review of what's playing in our household these days. Sorry, no links. Too damn lazy. :)

HOUSE
Is this the best new dramedy series or what? Hugh Laurie plays the cynical but clever Dr. House. The show revolves around the ongoings at the hospital and the baffling cases they get every week in which Dr. House, armed with his wit and sarcasm, saves somebody's life. Okay it sounds stupid when I tell it like this but trust me. Good show.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Like every woman in the world, I love the women of Wisteria Lane. Wait. That didn't sound quite right. Hah! But a good show, this is. Okay, so I cheated and watched everything on DVD and I know who killed who. Muahahah.

MALAYSIAN IDOL
We love Malaysian Idol, even though we're not particularly fond of Daniel, Nita, Farah, Faizull, Ash, Xerra, Ejay, Adam, Azam, Trish or Atilia. Okay, maybe we like Farah a little. At least enough to send in two votes this entire season. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save her. We fully expect the finale to suck eggs but we'll still watch. Besides, Jesse really like the show. It's the only show he watches from start to finish. Strange.

ROCKSTAR: INXS
Now here's some real talent. We have a bunch of guys and girls fighting it out to be the frontman of this over-the-hill rock outfit that was once pretty cool before Michael Hutchence went and killed himself. Anyway the show kicks ass - except that I think Dave Navarro, occasional axeman for Red Hot Chilli Peppers, looks kinda weird in a poofy sort of way. Grow some stubble, dammit! Still, Mark Burnett rules! Finale tonight. I hope Mig wins. He reminds me of a young Mick Jagger.

FEAR FACTOR
Who can get enough of watching crazy people eating bugs and all kinds of shit? Apparently, we have Fear Factor Malaysia now but something tells me that's gonna suck.

CSI:ANYTHING
We love CSI. CSI, CSI:Miami, CSI:NY, CSI:Batang Berjuntai! We love 'em all.

AMAZING RACE
It's time again. Personally, I feel that Amazing Race has nothing on Survivor, being a shitty game of chance and all. The only thing that made me a fan was Boston Rob in the last season. Too bad he lost. He was one competitive SOB - the kind of guy people pay good money to see. I don't care for nice guys. I want the best guys to win because they did their best, not because the producer fixed the game and had a plane wait up. Mark Burnett sucks!

APPRENTICE
We love The Donald. Richard Branson is a dumbass compared to Donald Trump. Rebel Billionaire sucks. Donald Trump should fire Richard Branson. Mark Burnett rules!

We never watch sports. Unless it's got sexy women in tights, or men intentionally hurting each other. We don't watch football - not enough blood. And we don't watch F1 either - not enough crashes. That's why we don't subscribe to any sports channel. But that might change when the new season of The Contender starts on ESPN.

    Yeah, who knew Angela Forrest could have %%%CENSORED%%%. I always thought it was the %%%CENSORED%%%. And Rex %%%CENSORED%%%? She didn't %%%CENSORED%%% ... my goodness. I hope in the next season Andrew Van de Kamp gets a central role. Ought to be a hell of a load more funnier.
    I'm worse. I downloaded the whole thing.
    *piak* Rajan for revealing the ending! Lucky I censored you, otherwise all the women who read this blog will hate you and you'll be a bachelor for life!!!

  10. Yah, Norzu. Look at the guy! I mean, when we see him in those short little spots where he say, "I'm Hugh Laurie and your watching House," it's almost surreal.
    I just save you from being a virgin for life, Rajan! Hehehh. Revealing endings is a crime punishable by a massive rubber-band assault on where the sun don't shine!
    :lol: Boolicious, I only watch F1 whenever someone crashes. I wish someone will quickly make a one-hour special on spectacular crashes.
    Deepsy, I wanna see families go at each other's throats. Muahahahah!!!
    I'm watching every single episode of House, Egghead, but if the DVD comes out...
    Yeah, CC. I wished they'd start season 2 already!

  11. Wah, fatherhood reduced you into a couch potato. I still have no time to watch tv yet.

  12. I don't like Desperate Housewives. *is prepared with her bulletproof vest*
    There's just something too "soap-operaish" about it. I watched a few episodes and just couldn't get into it. House is a little too dry for my taste, give me good ol E.R. and Chicago Hope anytime! Why do you like watching all the shows that I dislike? Grumph. All but Fear Factor. I LIKE Fear Factor heh heh ... My current favorites are Girls Next Door (the Playboy Mansion girlfriends series) and Nip/Tuck (a provocative series about plastic surgeons) Neither which will probably never ever be aired on Malaysian TV. :P

  13. The Donald is King. He Who Flies In His Private Jet is ruler over all he surveys. All hail The Donald!

  14. I guess it is out of line to tell who gets kicked out next on The Apprentice?
    LOL.
    Thanks James, you saved my... life?

  15. I've always been a couch potato lah, Gina. Remember those times when I said I couldn't come out? Yah, something good on TV. :lol:
    I like Nip/Tuck too Gwen. We had one season of it here! Or was it two?
    Be careful, Sashi. You might be arrested for practicing Ajaran Terpesong!!! :lol:
    *pia* Rajan!

  20. Hahah, watch it lah, DGoddess!
    Wha..!?!? You're a CSI, Lynnee?!?!
    Yeah, Visithra, I sort of expected JD to take it too. His "Pretty Vegas" pretty much clinched the deal for him.
    Gack* The Donald sings, Greenapple!?
