Pinoy TV Shows that should be banned

[jake]

Doe's anyone else get wound up at some of the dirge they pump out?

You should try living here Dedworth! Thankfully, the kids have no interest in the soap opera (teleserye) garbage that is on everyday. My wife sometimes watches them if she is not busy. Always fun to tell her what is going to happen next even though you have never watched the show!

Originally, I thought it was the language barrier that put me off watching. I was wrong, as understanding what is said makes them more unbearable.

The stories are always the same with different actors. The most popular one just now is Annaliza which is shown at 6pm just in time for the kids coming home from school or playing outside. So far there has been adultery, shootings, kidnappings and the murder of the main character's father. Great TV for kids who will grow up thinking that is normal behavior Rant over

Exactly what I've said to my wife a trillion times

We have folks here in UK who seriously believe Coronation Street or Eastenders is real life too.......

Plenty of TV programmes need taking out ......starting with Annaliza.......please.

Kris TV!!

Her pretentious and all knowing voice drives me mad when my wife listens to it on the ipad. What is it about her and certain other Filipino tv presenters like Boy Abunda! Why do they start a sentence in Tagalog.....switch to English midway through and then finish it in Tagalog?............Is this some kind of upper class only Filipino speak?....Am I missing something?....My wife says it is called Taglish....To me it is ridiculous...I mean most central Europeans speak 2 or more languages but you never see a German TV presenter start in German switch to French then Italian before reverting back to German.......What the hell is it all about this Taglish?....I mean my wife's family have next to no English so they can't understand it....I have next to no Tagalog so I can't understand..............It drives me mad especially as the English bit is usually reserved for the juicy part of the sentence that gets my attention only for Kris to then revert back to Tagalog....does my head in!

By the way I like Ryzza Mae, she's funny and really talented for somebody so young, and with Vic Sotto looking after her career, far from disappearing soon she will probably end up president one day!

Best TV program I ever saw myself in the Philippines was Darna when Angel Locsin was playing Darna...Worth watching on you tube....Should have won an Oscar in my opinion

Yes.. Taglish is a very soCIAL way to speak here and it elevates their status to the poor masses that huddle around the TV to watch.

If I am forced to watch a Filipino news channel though I find Taglish useful as it quite often fills in the gaps (Tagalog I`m not sure of) and helps me to understand the story a little clearer.

Kris Aquino is like Royalty here BTW.. Viewers hang on her every word.. Don't say anything too derogatory about her over here.. That's HERESY!!
