7/6/2023 0 Comments Tvb glitterato![]() ![]() I’m especially pissed about the “pseudo-remake” of At the Threshold of an Era, a series that was memorable and enjoyable despite being highly clichéd – a “remake” (which is what TVB made it sound like My Ages Apart would be during the sales presentation, though this could merely just be hype and the final product could be totally different) is absolutely UNNECESSARY in my opinion, despite the fact that I do like some of the cast. I would expect TVB to do better than rehashing their old series and turning them into unnecessary franchises. LOL…great minds must think alike, as I also “complained” about the fact that next year’s lineup will be filled with more sequels/ spinoffs / sister series / remakes than any other year, which is extremely disappointing considering the big 50th anniversary thing. Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one who thought this way! ![]() I also felt some artists were borderline unrecognizable in the calendar. Coincidentally, I had commented about everyone in the calendar looking very “plastic” in someone else’s blog and that some of the artists either had too much makeup on or the photos went through major touch-up (aka photo-shop). Llwy12 28 November 2016 at Hi again! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the calendar. The title for this is Heart and Greed, and seriously, can TVB possibly get lazier than that? The answer is no! From Heart OF Greed to Heart AND Greed, they changed one word, and maybe this is implying that the drama itself will be a mere copy of the Heart of Greed's story-line with a change of setting. However, we think that the happy side impedes from the grandness of the poster. While we like idea of the split family, with one side looking like a rich family, and the other side with a warm, happier family. In fac, it seems a bit weak with only a few people. like Sharon? She's been here for ages.Why not just make a new drama with new pairings and a new storyline? Poster-wise, it just doesn't scream EPIC. Now its like 3 new generation on each side which isn't even new. The current cast is just not as interesting and "epic" as the old ones with Raymond, Linda, Kate, Fala, Bosco, Tavia, Moses, etc. Only Bosco is left from the younger generation of HOG and MR so it is even more pointless. This is another drama with Priscilla, are there no other people? With only the older generation left, it seems pointless to work them out for 40-50 eps of screaming again. The people at TVB now seem quite scarce with their promoting techniques. ![]() People aren't looking for the same things anymore and to attract a greater variety of audiences, broadcasting the same stuff that was catered to see lais 10 years ago won't increase the viewership. Heading to a 50th year anniversary does not mean remaking your past success that aired a decade ago because the times have changed. as if Line Walker, Come on Cousin, Beyond the Realm of Conscience next, Threshold of an Era prequels, sequels, spinoffs whatever they wanna do AREN'T ENOUGH. ![]()
