| The 5 Things: What toomanysidesofme is thankful for |
Happy Turkey umm I mean… Thanksgiving, Day!
Wee… so lets list the things I’m thankful of! I actually remember last year, today, this blog just had started, and I wrote a thanksgiving post. Seems so far away.
The 5 Things: What toomanysidesofme is thankful for (ent related)
1. TVB – toomany may now be close to really disliking TVB but it has let her discover new minions to control, I mean new friends online. (echoes muhahaha)
2. TV blogs – Whether its TVB related or not, blogs are the way to be! So much information can be shared, including personal thoughts. Toomany says she likes blog because they allow her to brainwash her followers.
3. Internet- The all holy medium, only thing that toomany will blow down to.
4. Toomany gave the following a shot this year (turkey day to turkey day)
Forensic Heroes/Beneath the Charm (or whatever the title was)- I honestly like Yoyo now, hey throw all the tomatoes at toomany but she is really not as annoying as her HH2 days.
Bones- toomany’s favorite show on TV currently. If she would spread the love she would cover all over the world. She highly recommends it! Very happy that she was bored on day in the summer and watched the series and was hooked at second episode she watched. And so happy she did.
5. Bigger TV screen for all toomany’s entertainment she watches! Weee, Oh yeah and playing that new Wii that Rita’s brother bought on it is nice too, fun.
What RIta is thankful for is simple, Friends and Family. Life’s been good. =)
So Happy Turkey day again!
next post will prob be about what I currently watch....Labels: Bones, sides, thankful, thanksgiving, tv, tvb |

| The Plain Truth? |
Hey its me, still alive. Time for my monthly drop byes.
TVB Anniversary, wow a year has passed by, Unbelievable. Anyways you want to know the plain truth? I don't care about TVB anniversary anymore. Not one bit excited. I know its hard to believe. how one year can change it all.
I like to say it one more time, I don't care. Okay that feel better to get that off my chest. umm I think thats all for now... tired and just tired. Three day weekend so happy as can be right nowLabels: anniversary, tvb |

| Oct 1- TV rant |
 So I dropped of the face of the earth (err… I mean the Internet) for quite sometime. No worries I’m still here, but barely.
Seriously school took over my life and even if I just wanted to be lazy I couldn’t. Even small electives are taking over let alone AP classes. I see very little breaks in the near future, sigh… lol its like anyone really misses me.
I haven’t thought of much things relating to TVB much lately. Last series I saw was Forensic Heroes, which was a while ago. Which for a TVB series was pretty average, including filled with many errors but those don’t bother me as much because TVB standards have gone considerably down anyways. Plus the fact I have raised the bar also. One thing the series has done is, making me a fan of Yoyo Mung. Which I really have grown to like, Charm Beneath, really started it. Her character is likeable and I didn’t annoy me (Burning Flames, Armed Reaction IV), or so-so (Healing Hands II)
Jessica Hsuan is officially finally leaving TVB, which is not a surprise since numerous article have stated that before and also seeing her last contract, she was very close to leaving last time also. And she is back with Carri Ma! Go figure… it was obvious that she would go to her. Well its not like Jessica is totally going to disassociate with TVB unlike many others (Louis Koo, Gallen Lo, Flora Chan, Michelle Ye, etc). Which does show where people’s loyalty really lie, but I can totally understand actor’s decision but for a fan its disappointing.
Fung Wan Shui Yuet, all I can say is… well I’m just speechless. And no the cast does not impress me, I need Gallen Lo back to be impressed. One thing is TVB is willing to dish out HKD 1 billion (US$ 133,333,333). Meaning that TVB is paying American network money for a show, the price at a little over 2 million per episode. Because CCTV is collaborating with TVB, FWSY will be aired simultaneously by TVB and CCTV in their prime time slot, making the show have an estimated 140 million viewers (lol corrected info...). (info provided by sehsheh) No wonder TVB is willing to dish out so much for one series. And talk about major promotion for all involved in the series. Jessica’s timely termination of contract? Raymond Lam and Jessica have all been exposed in the China market already and very popular, also Charm Sheh and Sheren Tang with the majorly popular War and Beauty.
Jess in FWSY, Jess being professional again (hey I’m not complaining), Jess with Joe Ma again. But I have to say, maybe this time will be better as its with more of a eviler semi villain… which I liked in Revolving Door of Vengeance. I’m going to let this pairing slide until I see it. Something new, Jess with Michael Wong Man-Tak (whom I quickly googled, grew up in NY, speaks poor Cantonese but great English no doubt, HK actor). He seems familiar to me, of the several HK movies I have seen I have never remembered any of the names of the movies because none of them was worth it. Pairing is interesting something fresh contrasting something… well not fresh rather rotten in a sense (not a fan of Jess/Joe pairing).
(info about FWSY is based on info on http://idlemindsehseh.blogspot.com/)
Enough with TVB stuff… one more thing I finally finshed TW/CN/HK collaboration A Chinese Ghost Story starring Jessica Hsuan, Daniel Chan, Barbie Hsu. It took me the longest time ever! Over series was interesting kinda… but very draggy and confusing most of the time! Jess being all powerful was cool, and her being emotionless is a good change.
American Television!
I had cut my viewing schedule due to my busy schedule so there is hardly any new shows on my list.
Tuesday- Gilmore Girls has returned, and it doesn’t feel any different even though the creators has left. I can’t believe Rory has nothing to do over the summer. Paris is hilarious with her prep course. By far the funniest part of the episode, love her blunt, straightforward talking all the time. I should seriously take her course, she would get me great SAT scores. The episode was very sad from Lorelei and Luke, and Rory and Logan. Sigh… guess I’m sticking with the series. I flip on House from time to time, I see the repeats when ever there is any, after Bones now and also full rerun in the summer. I seen parts of Standoff, nothing really to make me stick, but its funny and chemistry is there but where is it going to go? They admitted their relationship to the world, actually started dating; I can only see it gong down...like their ratings lately.
Wednesday- Sorry ANTM, as a long time ANTM fan I really am but anything opposite of Bones will be crushed. Hehe recently Leno made a joke about America's Next Top Model and Bones being on at the same time, but he thought they were the same show. Everyone on ANTM is skinny as bones. In Bones, there was a mention of America's Next Top Model. Man in Wall, when DJ Rulz sees Brennan he say "What, the FBI is recruiting from America's Top Model now?” lol that they were mentioned even though it goes both ways but I'm sure that he meant the Models were bones. Not the other way around, though it would work, Emily Deschanel and Michaela Conlin have the model "look" and are tall. And just realized right now that The Biggest Loser is also on at the same time… coincidence? Anyways Bones can been consistant but last episode, last scene really annoyed me. I can understand the first time but the second time was betrayal, but Brennan's reaction might make up for it, hehe can't wait.
Thursday- Grey’s Anatomy all the way. Hehe great news McSteamy is staying! As a regular! Excellent news. I caught Ugly Betty before it, very disappointing. I saw most of the episode and before it finished I had to shut it off. I found it far too predictable and the whole "feel bad for me because I'm a dork" appeal... sorry that was mean but. I just felt every element from the show was unoriginal. I don't hate the show. btw before someone throws a tomato, The lead actress America Ferrera, whom I seen before on screen is a good actress and this show isn't showing her talent.
I don’t watch primetime on any other nights.
Too much ranting here… con't later.Labels: Bones, Drive of Life, Grey’s Anatomy, tv, tvb |

| Betrayal of TVB? |
Honestly I feel a bit of lost when you see TVB actors leave whether to ATV or Mainland. So seeing that ex-tvb actors now are leads in an ATV series, I feel a bit of betrayal.
I totally understand why they went to ATV, TVB is a rather ruthless, dominate, and quite ignorant at times. TVB does not provide a living for most who work under them. Most do sponserships to get extra cash so they can live in the world of the celeb world , where you must have the high fashion clothes and where you are in the public eye meaning you must present yourself in a certain way. TVB just gives you fame, more then ATV can ever give. TVB has a habit of promoting certain artist and ONLY them, no matter if you have talent or not, if TVB likes you. A paved path to stardom.
So we can't blame them for switching to ATV. Better pay, better hours, a chance to lead in a series, your company actually caring about you. So can't blame them.
There have been many switchs between TVB and ATV, yet they all manage to come back to TVB. Astrid Chan is back, its been a long long time. Sunny Chan came back last year. Michael Tao came back, Fimed Shine on You, Love Bond and Fantasy Hotel last year(but hasn't filmed anything else with TVB)
I really wish TVB wasn't so dominating, then they would have to pay more attention to thier artist, and come up with better plots and scripts! Come on TVB shape up!
So is this batrayal? I say the answer is noLabels: tvb |
