Following Felix Wong’s (黃日華) criticism of TVB as “Totally Very Bad” and Golden Producer Lee Tim Shing’s (李添勝) complaint that Bottled Passion <我的如意狼君> was given a “PK broadcast time slot,” Michael Miu (苗僑偉) was frankly unhappy that his new drama, L’Escargot <缺宅男女> was aired during the Lunar New Year “cannon fodder” time slot. This resulted in the drama’s ratings hovering between 26 to 27 points. L’Escargot was a realistic and tragic drama that did not contain any comedic elements. The content was not suitable to be aired during the festive Lunar New Year time frame. Michael said angrily, ”During the Lunar New Year, series with happier content should be broadcast. I do not understand why L’Escargot was aired now! The Programming Department made a very unwise arrangements! I am really unhappy!” Asked whether the broadcast schedule dragged down the ratings, Michael questioned whether the ratings results were credible. ”The online and audience reaction have been very good. However, the ratings were affected by the broadcasting schedule! When Oscar Leung (梁烈唯) slapped Mandy Wong (黃智雯) in the drama, the ratings peaked at 36 points, but the following day, the ratings slipped significantly by 10 points, losing 600,000 viewers! The audience needs to chase the follow-up to the earlier episode! It is really off the mark!” Creds: Oriental Daily/Jstars
I agree. This series very good. People will forget at awards ceremony. Should be around June-Aug it should be aired..
If it wasn't his series, it would had been someone elses... He's a man with a lot of power and popularity in TVB, so he can say shits like that.
haven't watched it but if its all sad and gloomy.... shouldn't air it in times of joy and happiness....
Lol "Totally very bad" (although imo it sounds awkward, not sure if it even make sense =S) and Pok guy time slot was the one! Bottled Passion and L'escargot has been good but yeah bad time slot.
I wonder who determines the time slot. Not sure how much weight Michael Miu's complaints have; but if he has some pull in TVB, this is not good news for TVB. TVB has had bad news one after another ... when are they going to realize to do better? To have better management?
the other stars are scared to speak up ; it's always the veterans that lash out because they are in a position to.
