Friday & Saturday evening TV

Boogie Woogie's new season began this Friday on Sony. As usual, it features superb performances from some talented dancers plus the wisecracks of Ravi, Naved & Jaaved. What's different is that there are going to be 2 episodes every week at 8 p.m. on Fridays & Saturdays.

The same is the case with the 9 p.m. slot for Star One & Sony where TGILC 3 & Indian Idol 3 battle it out for the TRPs.

TGILC 3 is showing some promise with the new format & new talent & Shonali Nagrani as new eye candy in addition to Perizaad.

Indian Idol has been on for about 3 weeks now & the city-wise elimination rounds were good to watch. It will likely get boring from now on.

What stood out for me was Udit Narayan & Javed Akhtar's competent judging & a few participants like Darjeeling's sipahi Prashant; Dhanbad's Maeying Chang (a bonafide Mongoloid, who speaks the shuddh-est Hindi you ever heard & sings amazingly well); the guitar slinging Shantanu from M.P. (fantastic voice) & this girl from Guwahati (forgot her name, but she's got dyed-brown hair). They've all made it past this week & should be there next Friday.

Hell, Jolly's gonna flip when he hears I've been following 'crap'(in his words) like Idol so closely!
