It All Started With the Big Bang!

I've given up trying to catch my favourite TV shows because it involves me rushing home from work, braving the jam and/or rain and rushing to tapau dinner. By the time I get home, it's more like Glee-Why-Bother or Desperately-Confused Housewives or How-I-Met-Which-Mother. So these days, I've started buying DVD box sets from my neighbourhood-friendly DVD seller :)

If you're a sucker for comedy, you should try watching The Big Bang Theory. The series revolves around a group of socially-awkward physicists whose lives get turned upside down when a hot blonde moves in to their apartment building.

Most of the episodes make reference to comic books, limited-edition action figures, Playstation, XBox, Nintendo Wii, Rockband, Klingon, Spock, Vulcan hearing and the ever-famous Stan Lee (I'm not saying you'll only enjoy this if you're a geek, but you know..).

If you're not convinced, try watching the videos below. Might just change your mind :)

I'm Officially a Gleek!

The minute I saw the promo ads for Glee, I was instantly captivated. The minute I watched the first episode, I was immediately hooked. If you watch Star World then I'm sure you know that the series is aired every Wednesday at 10pm (right after American Idol).

Glee revolves around a group of high school, bottom-of-the-social-ladder, students who are trying to revive the Glee club - which involves singing and choreographed dance steps. The series is like a breath of fresh air compared to other TV series including the predictable Heroes (it's season 4, yet Sylar is still alive) and Private Practice (more sex and drama).

Personally, I think Glee is filled with snippets of humor and sacarsm to makes the series stand out from the rest. You've got the quirkiest of characters from the sadistic Sue Sylvester to the germaphobic Emma Pillsbury and those are only the teachers.

And another bonus point, the songs featured in the series are a delightful mix of old and new - from Journey's Don't Stop Believin' to Rihanna's Take A Bow to Queen's Somebody to Love. The Glee cast sings all the songs and sometimes they even sound better than the original!

If you've not watched an episode yet, tune in to Star World at 10pm on Wednesdays. Trust me, you will be entertained :)
