It was a anniversary gala attended by more than 100 artises from Mediacorp, TCS and SBC. hahaha... I cant believe it when i saw the achievement our local television had over the last 45 years. Although it is not as impressive as TVB, the station still have support from long time fans. Starting as part of ministry's TV station to propengate govt agenda, it has now emerged as a regional media company.
I think the most impressive part is Star Search and City Beat. Oh man. I really love the 2 programs. For Star Search, the inaugural batches of Zoe, Aileen and Jazzeri were fantastic. Till today, many remembered the 3 of them. Zoe is still the queen leading the class of Star Search since 1988 till 2007! Gosh, 20 years and she is still the centre of attraction. It is so touching to see batches and batches of champions and finalists.
As for City Beat, i love the program cos it really brought me laughters during my Sec and Poly days. The program debut in 1995 when i was still a Sec 4 student. During then, i still remember the pioneer batches of 何咏芳，潘玲玲，钟琴 and 王禄江。It's damn funny yet entertaining. Like wat they said, it is more of 无厘头，which means they are free to tok cock and make you laugh.
As time progresses, the program changed. Then it added more hosts to the program. The viewership continue to soar greater heights. It was when Mediaworks Channel U came along, the program viewership deterioriated cos most of the host went over to the dyfunction Mediaworks. They got in new hosts like Jeff Wang, Deyuan but it didnt do as well as their predecessor. However, the program did created many interesting characters that till today many of us remember by heart.
As for the entire 3 hour program, the finale performance isnt as impressive as i tot. I guess only the short comedy on "经典人物" is more entertaining. Dennis Chew is a good actor. Seriously, he managed to capture the character and expression of Chen Liping on 早安老师。 hahhaha.. So funny, that i almost fell off my chair!
Anyway, i have a question, there wasnt a 40 anniversary celebration or even 30 anniversary celebration, why a 45? Zoe was asking big boss if they should still run the program next year to celebrate the birth of mediacorp. hahhhaa... I think that is for the management to decide. Probably not next year, maybe when Mediacorp celebrates 50! hahahhaha
