The black box (used to be brown with small, sliding doors)

I'm not really a fan of the TV. Surely the occasional Raya movies and particular hilarious adult sitcoms, e.g. Friends, are rare and special occasions for me to watch the tv. But generally, no. I'd rather read. High possibility my family might be the only one that allowed us to read books during mealtimes. Heck, I didn't even had all those Nintendo, Gameboy or whatnot... Was not allowed but we had abundance of books though. 


I guess I'm rather picky when it comes to television shows. I get dizzy when I channel-surf. I rather pick the shows that I really want to watch and wait for it to appear on the screen. With this, there's few shows that I feel worth watching and would like to share this with all of you.


Sitcoms - Laughter is the best medicine


F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I made sure I had a hu-u-ge mug like theirs and always ordered Pizza Hut Delivery, konon2 living in NY la :)

Whose Line is it Anyway?

Classic, pure laughter with tears.

Everybody loves Raymond

Lawak bangang with honest characters. Sangat hilarious.

The Nanny

Another classic, never bores me and all jokes are like fresh from the oven, as if you've never heard it padahal dah tengok a thousand times.

Others (watch them occasionally but can't be bothered to really follow, unless I have the DVD box set): Fairly Legal, Desperate Housewives, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, How I Met Your Mother, Will and Grace, Mr Bean, Malcolm in the middle, Dharma & Greg... just to name a few.


Closer to God - We're humans and we're always in need of Guidance


Reflections with Imam Suhaib Webb, TV Alhijrah

Love how he manages to relate the words of Allah in the Holy Quran to today's challenges and apply it perfect examples.

Semanis Kurma, TV9

Was mum's fave show. Husband and wife moderate this talk show, just effing cuteness!

30 minit Ustaz Don

Yes, I agree he does have that 'cute' appeal but he has successfully shows viewers on how to properly pronounce when reading the words of Allah, how to perfom prayers (e.g. how to bow properly for rukuk) and many more. He has made the 30minutes interesting and funny with raising issues that you never stop to think about.

Note: Notice how only three Islamic shows that I've mentioned? Sad right, we have a number of these programmes but sadly none are able to relate to today's modern-day challenges. But happy to credit TV Alhijrah for coming up with more and more interesting programmes!
