My Family Credit To: Heartmonster *Rollout: 2004 was no big suprise because we all knew what were the big hits because they also did well in ratings. However 2005, one of the most memborable hit was "RDOV", but it turns out it didn't too well in ratings like we expected. And guess what? "WOIL" beated "LMS" in average rating so it was the year's biggest comedy, and TVB series. The Anniversary Series: *Rollout: November is the month when TVB celebrates with big productions that they hope will boost ratings to a high level inorder to have a happy anniversary, but the nuber reason really is for them to "keep face" against other stations like ATV. Well, its been a pretty rough two years for TVB since the only high rating anniversary series they had was "Life Made Simple". In my opinion all these series were good except for Real Kung Fu. So lets briefly recap: 2004: "The Conqueror's Story" was a series about the legend with some of the best actors out there like Adam Cheng, Kwong Wah, and Wayne Lai. Maggie Cheung and Melissa Ng were amazing with perfecting their character. "The Last Breakthrough" was also excellent. The cast was great, the chemistry was, and the plot was great. I have no idea why these series didn't do well in ratings. Its a shame they didn't make it in the top ten. 2005: "The Charm Beneath" was very slow in the beginning, but towards the end the series was breath taking especially with Anne Heung's character. What was the problem with Real Kung Fu? It was Real Kung Fu! Nobody wants to watch old mainland actors kick and punch for real. They want to see young hunks fly around in computer generated effects. Besides the storyline was just boring and not interesting in my opinion.
