Primetime No-no For Kids

My Papa and I were watching the primetime TV adaptation of Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara over dinner. The movie itself gave me unstoppable goosebumps and was surprised that they are doing a serye version of it. I've seen numerous plugs of the show but never really had the chance to digest an episode until last night. While watching it, I started ranting and told my Papa that the show was absurdly placed in primetime because it's too scary for kids. I have no doubt, most of them are developing nightmares because of Jodi Sta. Maria's character: a troubled ghost seeking revenge.

Kaya nga may Parental Guidance eh
, Papa said. But I followed that not all children have diligent parents to share tv time with their kids. Some of them watch TV shows at a neighbor's house, or in their own living room unsupervised. Then I continued questioning how MTRCB allowed this to happen.

Tsk,tsk, tsk.

similarly, there's Vendeta on GMA. maybe MTRCB does nothing about it because no one's complaining.

Hi Isel,

Thanks for dropping by. I think La Vendeta is less scary than "Barbara". Yes, there are ghost involved, but not as disturbing as Ruth in the series.

What do you think?

jodi definitely looks scarier than jennilyn. but the whole idea of disturbed souls is there. i myself don't watch those shows because it scares me.
