The reason i dont exactly watch TV

I was watching TV on the bus today. and what i was watching was the just for variety, then just for laughs. The one thing common in both shows? Well they're IMPORTS( yeah i know thats like such an earthsh-sh-shaking fact.)
But like seriously. Why are we importing stuff like that when we can get it done locally? i mean like really.

There used to be shows like Gotcha! ( I think that was local, if it aint. it only adds to my case.) but even that was gone along with time!
So what is going on>? are singaporeans just taking life too seriously. I mean okay, envision this.

Play a prank on an uncle or Auntie.. or better still a secondary or poly ah beng.
What is the first reaction? the first choices of vocabulary? I mean like what can you see them doing when they see the poor bugger coming out to tell them. Hey yo. You been the butt of joke. On TV somemore! power right?

And okay talent.
Yeah well the talent-trend-thing is on now. actually more of the dregs of it in a way. ( the hype of it is slowly dying off, people are actually slowly becoming aware that winning a contest doesn't really get you that much more anymore.) I mean like really. IF the telly does show a talent showcase, why does it always come with a subconscious silent "youth-only" tag? i mean like why not showcase bands that aren't that teenish. After all, don't these people deserve the limelight alot more for the persistance and hardwork through their teen years and right into wherever they are right now? Aren't these guys the real talents? instead of the flukes that just made it cos of what the audience just happened to like today? I mean like c'mon. Not just the music scene. the drama scene, the wayang scenes, the visual arts scenes, anything else and the media scene( which has been done a little overboard already anyway).

Singapore has talents, un-nurtured talents that are just all too ready to show off before actually making sure that they got their act together. I mean yeah, there definitely are some who really really put in the work, gone through hell and high water. But seriously, How many have the conviction to pull through? How many are just doing it in the name of trend( being BLODDY SODDING ShEEP!)?

So yeah. Show us something better than Switchin kitchens or Stylin gypsies.
Or BAD short films( that i simply can't appreciate cos of the volume being like shit. But then some of them are bad to the point that i won't even think twice about doing. Like is THAT even a short film?)


And when you say talent, forget the damn youth tag.
