Malaysian TV

Keeping with the Merdeka spirit, ntv7 is airing a documentary about how our national athem came to be. "Negaraku - Learn more about how our national song and what went into the making of it." I've heard of stories that the national athem's lyrics comes from an old poem and that its' melody is sung to an Indonesian song called 'Terang Bulan" (Trans: Bright Moon), which later became banned from the radio (this is stupid). I don't know for sure, but tonight I will. The Making Of Negaraku - Wednesday 20:30 pm on ntv7

RTM is showing this movie in celebration of Malaysia's 49th independence day. This guy Adnan was suppose to have been a real hard chap. I'm not sure why though.. "Saksikan filem khas sempena Hari Kemerdekaan ini mengenai Leftenan Adnan yang berjuang menentang pengganas komunis di zaman darurat sehingga sanggup mengorbankan nyawanya." Lets watch the movie tonight and find out.. Leftenan Adnan Tuesday 22:00 pm on RTM 2

These guys are good. But they're no David Blane. "Catch magician duo, JB Benn and Chris Korn from MONDO MAGIC SINGAPORE live on the streets of Singapore as they mesmerise you with their mind-boggling illusionists' tricks!" Singaporeans need magic too. Mondo Magic Singapore - Wednesday 12:30 pm on AXN

Siti Nurhaliza's wedding celebration! Woo hoo! "Majlis Perkahwinan Siti Nurhaliza dengan Datuk Khalid Mohd Jiwa." It's until midnight, sigh.. on a week day. Majlis Perkahwinan Siti Nurhaliza - Monday 21:00 pm on TV3

What do you do when you’re a bunch of old has-been rockers without a frontman? You do a reality TV show and look for one that’s what you do! "MOTLEY CRUE's Tommy Lee. Guns 'n' Roses' Gilby Clarke. Metallica's Jason Newsted. 3 phenomenal legends. 3 giants of their time. Looking for a lead singer in a worldwide search of epic proportions." Storm Large is so hot. And she’s got the pipes, can AND junk. Rockstar Supernova (Season 2) - Thursday 8:00 pm on STAR WORLD (70)

I have only recently started watching this show. Funny as hell. It’s like a cross between ‘The Practice’ meets ‘Ally McBeal’. “Shore takes the case of a mayoral candidate who wants to stop a negative campaign ad from airing.” This guy really needs a tan. Boston Legal - Wednesday 21:10 pm on STAR WORLD (70)

If you have never seen the show before, catch it tonight. It will almost make you WANT to get lost is a dessert and/or sea and/or jungle; loose a finger and almost get yourself killed. Sure, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ but damn.. must it hurt like hell? “When two brothers set off on a hike into one of Utah's most rugged canyons, they expect the trek will take no more than eight hours.” I once survived this really long wedding with a bunch of people I don’t even like. The food was good though. I Shouldn't Be Alive Monday 10:00 pm on Discovery Channel (50)

We're back in bussiness!! All the TV listings for this week has been updated. You can search thru them till you bleed.. You're welcome.

Charmed to me is as appealing as Archie comic books are engaging. The stories are light and you are always left entertained. "THE COURTSHIP OF WYATT'S FATHER. Gideon makes a deal with the Darklighters to get rid of Leo, but they accidentally send Leo and Piper to the Ghostly plane, leaving Phoebe and Paige to believe that they are both dead. Meanwhile, Chris begins to disappear and reveals that he must be conceived before the night is over or he will vanish forever." Plus, having 3 hot witches in the cast doesn’t hurt. By the way, I can do a kind of witchcraft myself. These girls magic numbers are: 34 C, 34 A and 34 B respectively. Charmed (Season 6) - Wednesday 11:15 pm on ntv7

There’s this show on 8tv, called the Quickie. Yes, all sexual innuendoes were intentional I’m sure. They slot it in every night in between ‘real’ shows as a buffer. During the program, 8tv’s Quickie crew, will tell you what shows are coming up next, as well as give out cool 8tv Quickie freebies to those losers who bother to call in (don’t be hurt if you are one of them, because as always, I use the word ‘losers’ with love) . The 8tv Quickie consists of two teams of two: Adam and Marion go on every weekday; Rina and Phat Phabes get to work the weekends. Now here comes the part that is really pissing me off, how come Phat Phabes doesn’t have his own wallpaper ? What kind of bias is this? Is it because he’s not pretty enough? Well I can see a few not so pretty ones from the selection. How come they made it? It is an injustice. I think Mr. Phabes is the strongest presenter out of the four. The rest would be lucky to kiss his knees in terms of ease of presentation and delivery. Damn the MAN...

'Be a good boy and show Mommy what you've got in your mouth' I've been plugging this show every week since it came out, with good reason. It really is that good. " Riots, Drills and the Devil. Michael creates a lockdown by sabotaging the air conditioning in order to execute his breakout plan properly, and unintentionally causes a riot that gets Sara into huge trouble. Meanwhile, an ex-con is blackmailed into seeing to that Lincoln is killed." Just another day for a scheming convict. Prison Break (Season 1) - Monday 10:30 pm on 8tv

Tyra has been giving us a lot of fluff on her show lately, and that's fine. But now she's going to teach us how to look rich on a budget? Come on.. What does she know about roughing it anyway? " Strategic Shopping. Tyra tells you how to satisfy designer taste on a discount budget and helps a student who is literally starving to feed her high-end handbag habit, surprises three girls who spent so much money on their apartment, they couldn't afford to furnish it, and gets shopping tips from two women who know how to navigate the cutthroat world of bargain-basement buying." That's right Tyra, loosen those panties a bit, they're cutting circulation to your brain. Tyra Banks Show - Monday 11:15 pm on ntv7

Later today, the contestants are going to perform songs from the rocking roll King himself, Mr. Elvis Presley. It's hard to tell which way it's going to go when doing Elvis. It's either going to be really good or you'll sound like damned fool. "With only four remaining in the competition, anything can happen. Make sure to watch tonight at 8/7c when the top 4 take on the music of Elvis Presley and are critiqued by legendary music mogul Tommy Mottola!" Can't wait to see Chris perform with this one. American Idol (Season 5) - Wednesday 5:00 pm on STAR WORLD (Astro Ch 70)

Strong-silent-guy type asking about dope in Virgin Marys, and Kate cutting Sawyers hair. "The 23rd Psalm. This episode will shed more light on why Eko took a mysterious 40-day vow of silence, and possibly information on his stick. Also, Claire begins to lose faith in Charlie after Eko begins to question him about the Virgin Mary statue, and Kate gives the recovering Sawyer a much-needed haircut." As always, Kate is yummy. Lost (Season 2) - Tuesday 3:00 pm on AXN (Astro, Ch 17)

When not coming up with elaborate schemes and executing well thought out plans to get him and his brother out of prison, Michael Scofield spends much of his time flirting with cute female doctors by flexing his excessively curious tattoo laden body. "English, Fitz or Percy. Kellerman and Hale blackmail Warden Pope. Michael finds out he might get out earlier than anticipated. Veronica becomes uncertain of her allies." I was going to get a tattoo myself, but decide against it when told that; as the skin ages, an image of Angelina Jolie will not look flattering on my sagging belly. Prison break (Season 1) - Monday 10:30 pm on 8tv

It seems like only yesterday I was watching Forest Gump on a pirated video tape at my ex-girl friend’s house. That was like 12 bloody years ago. This movie won Tom Hanks an Academy Award for the second time; two years in a row. It’s that good. "Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him." Dumb people need love too. Forest Gump (1994) - Friday 10:00 pm on tv3

Not satisfied with the amount of complains they got from MCMC (Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission) over the Marsha fiasco , the Wakenabeb! team is trying top themselves again by harassing ex-singer Diva herself (and I use this word ‘harassing’ as lovingly as I can), Ziana Zain. Finally, a Malaysian star that I actually know. I’m not sure what the setup is but it involves her being robbed by 3 penyamuns (Trans: robbers) and latter being blind folded. Local reality television doesn’t get any better than this. Wakenabeb! (Season 3) - Thursday 8:30 pm on ntv7

This must be the secret dream of anyone who has ever had their nice quiet drink at the mamak interrupted by a loud zooming ‘Mat Motor’. " Daddy's Little Girl. The CSIs investigate the stabbing of a motocross racer who was about to leave town with a young woman he had been living with. Also, Nick comes closer to finding the truth about his kidnapping." I'm not saying we should kill them. All I'm saying is that we should maybe kick and slap them around a little bit. They'll survive. Them being macho and all. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Season 6) - Wednesday 10:00 pm on Astro's AXN (Ch 17)

In a twist of ironic coincidence, RTM 2 and 8tv will both be airing movies with a mistaken identity theme tonight. "Set in 1951, a blacklisted Hollywood writer gets into a car accident, loses his memory and settles down in a small town where he is mistaken for a long, lost son." The Majestic (2001) - Wednesday 10:00 pm on 8tv "Connie Doyle is eighteen and pregnant her boyfriend has kicked her out. She accidentaly ends up on a train where she meets Hugh Winterbourne and his wife Patricia who is pregnant. The train wrecks and she wakes up in the hosptial to find out that it's been assumed that she's Patricia. Hugh's mother takes her in and she falls in love with Hugh's brother Bill. Just when she thinks everything is going her way, her ex-boyfriend shows up." Mrs.Winterbourne (1996) - Wednesday 10:00 pm on rtm 2 Since both of them will be showing at the same time, you’ll have to choose. I’ll go for Jim Carrey’s offering. But the other movie is nice t...

I added the Astro channels ESPN, SuperSport and STAR SPORTS into the Malaysian TV Search page. A cool trick to find football matches is to type is 'vs' into the search. This will list out all the matches that will be airing in the week. I don't watch football. It's too tiring.
