Supernatural to be aired by the national station as from on Wednesday and Thursday 13th and 14th January 2010. It’s quite unusual for the national station to air consecutive episodes on the same day or even a day after, apart from an epic episode or special events. Series like CSI-NY and New York 911 have 2 episodes broadcast on the same day. I like to watch sci-fi, supernatural movies or series and hopefully would appreciate this one too. From what i gather, it seems like a demon chase like Buffy the vampire slayer. Did someone watch Supernatural? How is it?

Really amazing! Turn on your speakers!

Some of you may have already heard of.

Just stumble on an article about Tori Spelling. You remember her?? She played in Beverly Hills 90210 as Brian Austin Green’s gf. Well, she looks scarily thin now…According to Us magazine, Tori said she feels pressure to be thin in Hollywood. Could someone confirm? Awrkkk, she looks so good before that.

Today Tuesday 27th January 2009. “Life” will be aired after the last episode of Dr House last week. Life is about the story of a detective who is given a second chance to serve the force after serving time in prison for a crime he did not commit. Charlie Crews’ (played by Damian Lewis)  new lease on life has provided him with a Zen-like outlook, peace of mind and no need for vengeance, an attitude which can be challenging to maintain when someone he cares about is threatened — or when he is investigating the mystery surrounding the murder he was falsely accused of.

Another crime solving mystery police series. Does not seem to hook me up at first sight. Am eagerly waiting for the 30th January 2009 for “Ugly Betty” to be aired.

Two high school friends, Yui Hongo  and Miaka Yuki came across a book called The Universe of the four gods when they both decided to go to the National library for their revision to enter the competitive Jonan Academy. As a result of reading the book, they are both transported into the novel’s universe. Inside the novel Miaka discovers that she is the Priestess of Suzaku and destined to gather the seven Celestial Warriors of the god Suzaku in order to summon Suzaku and obtain three wishes. She falls in love with the Celestial Warrior Tamahome, who eventually reciprocates. Miaka’s desire to use a wish to enter the high school of her choice begins to shift towards finding a way to be with Tamahome. Unfortunately, Yui, who is also drawn into the book, is quickly manipulated by the emperor of the land of Kutou into becoming the Priestess of Seiryuu and working against Miaka.

As you must have noticed, it is about love, romance, friendship and drama also. I got hooked on this manga series which is also known as Fushigi Yuugi, a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuu Watase. I am 3 episodes away of watching the end of the 52. Ok i reckon that i skipped some episodes for some were rather static. Worth watching and laughing guaranteed just like college fou fou fou. After that don’t know what manga to shift to.  Sigh!!!!

Heroes season one will be aired tomorrow on Channel 3. At least that’s according to trailer previews. Heroes, if aired will replace 24. The last episode was on Friday last and ended with the kidnapping of Jack Bauer.

Longed waiting for its broadcast Wednesday last, the second season of desperate housewives was finally aired on Monday. As with the first episode of the first season, the first episode of the second one was very boring. The episode started with the burial of Rex, who died of heart attack in the previous season. We also know that Zach Young is the legitimate son of Mike Delfino. and that he disappeared after he attempted to kill his father.

Today, Wednesday, the national station is planning to broadcast MI-5. Let’s hope that this time, the play will be as planned.

Today, I watched the fiftieth and apparently the last episode of Shijou Sailyou no Deshi Kenichi. I expected another kind of ending but guess that in martial arts, endings resemble each other. So now i must look for another anime to while away my time. Must try either naruto or one piece. Ok time to go to bed. Tomorrow another huge day. I do not know whether i can sustain the rhythm of work, now that my colleague left and another was recruited. Back to square one, with re-training.  But this is another story!!

Today, i witness the usual propaganda of the national station. With no warning or communique, the programme on the third channel has been changed since eight or earlier.  I was keenly awaiting the usual epic of Dr House, but instead, i got to see a bunch of groups dancing and singing in front of the PM. Some cultural show to mark the birthday of the father of the nation. And the funniest thing is that the national station did not even bother to modify its programme settings. When i tuned on the first channel after the weather forecast, it was the usual loop with the original programme settings. I am not in audiovisuals, but these settings can be changed can’t they? Even at the last minute. MBC does have the functionalities to do that. And they always claim to be innovating to bring new changes. Mon oeil!!!!  Vive the numerical era!

La route aux enigmes was broadcast today. It was animated by Gilles Sooben, who also presents ‘avant premiere’ on Fridays. Well??!!! The quality of sound was very poor. We could barely hear what was saying and the communication networks between the candidates demonstrate clearly the poor infrastructure of our wireless networks. For this first show, the candidates were quite poor. The brainy candidate clearly did not know how to execute a search on the net and the presenter each time has to help her out.

To rate the show, lets say that the quality is the same as the Miss Mauritius pageant competition. The initiative was good, but i think the concept copies too much from the french show. It has to be adapted to the Mauritian concept. Clearly the spoken french was patoit like. Why not in creole? This would save us, spectators from trying to guess what is being said.
