Heroes!!!
Channel 5 is really a lame channel. Its funny how they talk about being the first to show movies or series when other channels have shown these shows long ago. Their monopoly is not very effective and kind of comical when people have cable nowadays. Gone were the days when they could boast that they show movies earlier than their Malaysian counterparts at RTM.
Nowadays, other Star World, HBO and many other channels are showing movies and series far earlier than Channel 5. One good example is the series "Heroes". I can’t believe that Channel 5 is having trailers for "Heroes". And they’re proudly announcing the fact that they’ll be showing "Heroes" in November. By the time November comes, I’d have watched the entire series.
For people who have been catching "Heroes" on Star World, the series would have been well in advance by now. As for me, I managed to watch it on DVD. My father-in-law got the whole series on DVD. Don’t ask me how he got them.
I knew he bought them a while back. But I never got around to watch them. I saw some parts of the series on Star World, but I never really watched them cos I didn’t really take note of the time slot that the show was in.
So yesterday…I found the DVD set while I was waiting for time to break fast. I popped the first DVD in and watched. We ended up watching the show till about eleven! It was that good. It was that riveting!
I can’t imagine having to wait from one week to another waiting for the series. I can’t imagine having to put up with stupid advertisements. I’m just glad that F-I-L bought these DVDs! I don’t have to put up with all that nonsense. And, unlike the Hikmah series, I didn’t even fast forward any scenes cos I just wanted to absorb every single storyline and every single character in full detail.
The series was really, really that good. If I were Channel 5, I’d bump off whatever other stupid late night shows I have just to play "Heroes" NOW! Ditch the Desperate Housewives. Enough of Ugly Betty. Its just a long-winded "The Devil Wears Prada". Lost can get lost. Ok maybe CSI can stay. But everything else must go NOW. Not in November. No.
I can’t wait to get home to continue watching the series tonight!
