Are local TV getting better?

  It seems like more and more people are getting addicted to local TV such as Calefare and Noose.

  I am never been a fan of local TV especially when we have reality shows/competitions that are the "not as nice" clones of the overseas ones. Plus we have easy access to overseas channels through cable. But I must admit, the English ones seemed to be getting more interesting.

  Are our local TV really getting better?

  If you compare current shows to say VR man, then yah, local TV is getting better.

   

  Better is relative here.

  Their drama series a bit huh these days.

   

  All tend to be open ended or ends abruptly in the last episode.

  Actually they could have made The Golden Path into a 60 part series.

   

  Let Li Nanxing and Tay Peng Hui fight on until they are 60 - 70 years old.

   

  Alas, last episode, Tay Peng Hui suddenly gets killed by goodness knows some calefare.

  Definitely not getting better, but got worse than before. Last night I saw the advertisement for the 45th anniversary of mediacorp, about the most classical variety character. I saw one of my favourite comedy characters, "阿肥，阿瘦". What happened to all the good old days?

  Honestly, I think I'll still stick to watching non-Singapore TV productions. The dramas here are still as sub-standard as ever while I've never liked Singapore's reality TV.
  
  Even the English shows on Channel 5 fails to catch my appeal. I think I'm still used to watching National Geographic with an English commentator.

  he's not talking about episode.

  he's talking about parts.

  i.e.

  part 1 episode 1-30

  part 2 episode 1-30

  .....

  part 60, episode 1-30.

   total 1800 episode.
