What about those locally produced shows we had on television back in my days? Although i was only born yesterday! i still remember the one that shaped my upbringing:
1. Ricky Ticky (Children's show)
2. Twelve and Under- who knew ho wto speak the Queen's english better than Aunty Hazel! I always used to feel as though she spoke to me specially while on her shows.
3. Mastana Bahar
4. Scouting for Talent
5. West WoodPark- I used to be angry when i miss an epsiode for one reason or another!
6. No Boundaries- Ogosh boy!!! this one took me back real far hmmm. Can you remember this one?
All of these shows were locally produced and catered to a certain niche in society; from highlighting talent to soap oprahs. Can you remember any of them that you saw growing up?
They stopped showing them cause we stopped wanting to see them. We always saw "foreign" as better. Hence, we got "foreign" in our rockungkutungkung!
ReplyDeleteSad state of affairs!

Ok so these stopped showing because things change, producers move on, seasons come to an end, contracts are ended etc.
ReplyDeleteBut on another note check blog for punctuation-8th line put capital 'I' and check for typo 4th line (re-read post).
ok cool thanks anonymous for you input and corrections and @ Crabcatcher also thank you for the compliment on behalf of me and my group members.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, i understand what you are saying but what made us not want to see these shows anymore? What changed if this is part of our culture and makes us uniquely who we are then why stop? Why give it all up for soemthing that is foreign and can't completely represent who we are as a people.
