Ludicrous plot

I don't watch that much television. For the past four days, since I've been spending time at the hospital, I have been "forced" to watch television as there is not much to be done anyway.

I have always been critical of Malaysian teledramas. Most of these dramas have ridiculous plots, poor acting and full of stereotypes. I wonder if script-writers actually do any research at all. And it's astonishing that the viewership for these programmes is high.

One teledrama that baffles me has this plot about a pair of twin girls who do not look alike. The technical term is of course fraternal twins, otherwise known as dizygotic twins or biovular twins - or simply, non-identical twins. What is ridiculous is how this drama depicts the reasoning behind the twins not being identical is because, wait for it, they are born 20 minutes apart!

For goodness sake! Can't the script-writer or director or producer check the facts first? They seem to be more interested in glamour more than anything else.

itulah...pepatah melayu ada menyebut, bodoh tak boleh diajar, pandai tak boleh diikut.

dlm satu drama TV3, Impak Maksima VS Rempit...ataupupn sebaliknya...pelakon utama drama tu menyebut 'Anjakan Paradigma' sebagai 'Anjakan Paradigem' (Paradigm). Nak sebut Paradigm, tapi jadi Paradigem. Nani sore? Tuan director tak buat semakan ke masa shooting tu? Online editor tak buat semakan ke masa menyunting strip drama tu? Ataupun semua orang di situ memang tak tahu pun makna Anjakan Paradigma?

not only the script writer, but almost parties involved in the production should be blamed; from the actor/actress, the director until the producer... haih~ money shines right in front of their eyeballs more than anything else.

that also explains why i also don't watch local tv show that much.

and ya, that also explains the reason local viewers are a step behind because of the uneducated and uneducational tv progs. hm...
