I was momentarily confused to why my Astro wasn't working yesterday. My 4 year old niece had to tell me that Astro has changed their channel numbering system to 3 digits now ... All this to make room for their 100+ channels. More TV! Yeah!!

Here's a blog that posts episodes from Season 2 of Gol & Gincu . I tried to watch a full episode, but can't do it. I guess sweaty emo chicks just don't do it for me. But seriously, why bother calling it Gol & Gincu at all? It hardly has any futsal in it (and no, gossiping at the bench doesn't count). The TVP style acting is fun to watch though... and chicks are cute.

Astro Ria is going to be running this series called Dark City . It's suppose to have a Twilight Zone kinda feeling with a funky twist at the end of every episode. The 13 episodes are directed by 7 directors I've never heard of (I don't know that many...) that are suppose to be good. I haven't seen the show yet so I'll reserve my comment till after. In any case, it is still a refreshing step away from the usual local drama 'Minggu Ini' and daily serials, which thought are mildly entertaining tends to get stale after awhile. And I didn't even know Astro Ria airs shows that are in English. Oh.. and HAPPY MERDEKA!!!!

I haven't been able to post a lot lately, mainly because I haven't a lot of time to watch TV these days... which sucks cause I LOVE TV. Damn... Anyways... I will try to keep the TV listings up to date for you guys... Hope the listings help you TV junkies :P

Why are all neurosurgeons bald? "From executive producer Peter Ocko comes a new medical drama about two elite neurosurgeons who have different takes on how to treat their patients.

I know a lot of people who watch this show who are really not into cars. If you watch an episode, you'll understand why...

The Austin Healy Sprite and modified Peugot 306 go head-to-head on the Prescott Hill Climb course to see which is best and there's the Top Gear Awards, where James is awarded the Golden Cock.

My Precious... Is it just me, or is this show totally gay? " In the land of Middle-Earth, there live men, trolls, goblins, elves, dwarves and hobbits. Hobbits are small men who lead quiet, peaceful lives in their homes in the ground. In a past adventure, a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins (Holm) found a ring that renders its wearer invisible.

There is this theory when writing a novel to throw the first chapter away. The idea is to put the reader right into the action. Heroes has done just that, and I guess here is the first chapter they 'threw away'. " Six Months Ago. This episode shows the heroes six months ago. Chandra Suresh, Mohinder's father, arrives in New York looking for special people. He meets up with an individual that embraces the chance to be unique. Peter graduates from nursing school. Nathan plans to prosecute a case that could cause complications for the Petrellis. Niki receives a visit from her father which brings out the worst in her. Hiro tries to alter the future for someone important to him. Claire discovers her abilities right after joining the cheerleading squad, and her father meets up with someone special."
