Oprah's 50th + Carrie & Co.
Channel 10 screened a special episode of Oprah tonight on telly. So instead of the usual crappy show on Friday night, I actually had a great time instead. (Note that I actually wrote 'I' there instead of 'We', since hubby wasn't so keen on watching such show, so he ended up surfing the net, while I had Oprah all to myself!)
Oprah's 50th Birthday Bash
In the first part of the show, they had this special birthday bash to celebrate Oprah's 50th birthday.
Oh boy, and what a great bash it was, indeed!
All the big names in Hollywood either actually made a special video message congratulating her, or even made a special appearance in studio, much to the delight of the audiences there (and at home too. of course!)
Even Sidney Poitier and Nelson Mandela wishes her their best, which would certainly mean a lot, since Oprah the TV show and the personality herself had certainly made a huge impact on the TV scene, which cross boundaries in touching topics such as families, self-empowerment (remember Dr. Phil?), sought out make-overs (be it fashion, or home furnishing),and also encouraging book reading world-wide through her now-so-famous Oprah Book Club.
During the show, she was also serenaded by artists such as Tina Turner (flown in specially from Switzerland) and all time favourites Stevie Wonder. To top it all, the whole show was co-hosted by Oprah's best friend, along with the ever-so suave, My Saturday Night Fever himself, John Travolta!
Bye bye girls..
In the next segment of Oprah, we were shown the interview given to the cast of Sex and The City before the airing of the final episode of the show in the states (which unfortunately STILL hasn't being shown here yet, in Oz).
It's truly unbelievable that such ground-breaking TV show had made such an impact in the TV world, and suddenly it's coming to an end.. :"( (and here I am, still recovering from the unseen final episode of FRIENDS! Hello?!!)
Anyway, the girls are beautiful as always, and gave a warm interviews of what their thoughts on the end of the terrific TV shows, and the uncertainties lies ahead of them (although, Sarah Jessica-Parker do sound a little bit restraint and fake-sounding in her long-winded response to Oprah's questions, compare to the other girls')
With the end of the show, that means another item (ie Sex and The City DVDs collection) added to my wishlist if things I gotta have, along with the complete set of Friends, Coupling (an on-going TV comedy from BBC), and the endless movie boxsets including Alien Quadrology, Back to the Future Trilogy, Indiana Jones Trilogy, .. and the list goes on and on, and on..
CSI special
The final segment of Oprah tonight was a special on real-life forensic case vs. the TV series CSI. However, I just didn't feel like watching dismembered/rotting/bullet-holed (yeah you got the idea) bodies being shown lying on a steel bench to be done a post-mortem. Comparisons between the CSI TV episodes to real-life cases might be interesting, but I just don't feel like watching gruesome stuff, after a heart-wrenching segment of saying my goodbyes to Carrie and co. It would be a total anti-climax for the night.
So at 10:30pm, I flicked the channel to ABC to catch the comedy show The Glass House.. *sigh..*
Now.. that cheered me up a bit.
