I’ve been an avid viewer of Executive Class on ANC. And Sony Style on AXN (this would have been part of my Year-end 2008 Best Of List but it was off-air when I wrote that list so I conveniently forgot about it).
Lately, there is a resurgence.
Sony Style is back in its third season (an answered prayer). This is a perfect mix of lifestyle and tech-y show. It shows interesting places and people around Asia. Of course, since it was sponsored by Sony, it showcases the latest offers of Sony. The tech-whore in me salivates at all the new gadgets. Lust list material (Dear Santa...I’ve been a good boy…please give me that new small Viao or those noise-cancelling earphones). Host Oli Pettigrew (I didn’t know this surname existed outside Harry Potter’s world) is chirpy, animated and fun to watch. Although sometimes his Brit heritage is evident as he turns too Mr. Bean-y.
AXN unveiled a new lifestyle show targeted to us SNAGs (sensitive new-age guys). The Duke is a talk/magazine show that presents what’s hot this side of the world (and I don’t mean the summer heat) and hosted by Eunice Olsen and TARA2 Famous Duo Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez. As always, the duo brings forth their smart histrionics and unique humor and personality. Eunice balances them out and pulls the reins when the two becomes too outlandish. Just a shoutout to the producers, though: be careful with the pacing. It seems like the show wants to be too many things at once. The talk show part, while informative and gives a refreshing view of the male psyche, seems to be harried and half-hearted.
Watch these shows and live the life.
