Monday Offerings



Monday Offerings –

Locally what we have going on is Ultimate KTV on Channel 5. You would be amazed at the talent being displayed on this television show. When the show airs on Tuesday nights, I am always amazed at how our Belizeans, with very little or no formal training whatsoever in music, can really display length, depth and breadth when belting out their favorite karaoke tunes. Celine Dion songs are a perennial favorite *lol*. However, every now and then, someone will throw in a classic from Shirley Bassey or Otis Redding complete with costume and props. While we have a dearth of international cable television, the Ultimate KTV is produced locally and the participants all reside here in the tropics. So can you really blame us, if things come to a screeching halt every Tuesday night while we sit entranced in front of the telly watching our very own local stars?



For those of you who love the game shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, I would like to take a moment to mark the passing on Sunday, August 11th, of the legendary television producer, Mr. Merv Griffin. He was the creator of both Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy and he even wrote the little thinking song which is aired every time a Jeopardy episode comes on. Mr. Griffin was 82 years old at the time of his passing and it is estimated that his net worth came close to US$1.6 billion dollars. His favorite epitaph was ‘Stay Tuned’. May he rest in peace. (Merv Griffin 1925-2007)

my mom LOVES Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy...i do not. I dislike most game shows although there is a new one on now, "One against 100", or something like that. I have watched a few episodes...i don't know if it will catch on though.

thanks for stopping by. I have done an new updated Post on the Landmark Corporation. I hope people will stop by and read about it, do their own research, and come to an INFORMED decision about whether or not they want to spend so much money for the "technology".
Please help me spread the word.

cheers for now,
pj

A good feature on Merv Griffin. I loved US game shows when I saw a few here in England. Unfortunately most are now home-grown.

I enjoy watching people deisplay their talents. I can understand your love for the show. American Idol is real big here and people.

Merv Griffin: He will be missed. He was so involved with so many things. A great mind and trendsetter. May he rest in peace..

You don't have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is
