FOX on Astro...

Astro's got a new channel in its roster this week - Channel 710, the FOX Channel. 

Yes, that FOX - home of The Simpsons, Family Guy, House, Lie to Me... those shows.

It started on Monday, and I've been tuning in on and off over the last few days; so far it's reruns of...

• The Simpsons (from a couple of seasons ago - okaylah)
• Family Guy (saw one from the third season, which was just as well cos I never saw the first few seasons anyway. I also never expected to see Family Guy on Malaysian TV since it's allegedly banned)
• Season five of NCIS (not sure why it's here since it's a CBS show - maybe it's the syndication deal?)
• First season of Lie to Me (which I've already seen on free TV, so I'm waiting for them to show the second season) 
• Second season of Bones (it's been awhile, and I don't remember watching it anyway)

As far as the ads in between goes - the NCIS-trumpeting ones are starting to get my goat. I know it's the world's No. 1 TV Drama and is popular all over the place, I GET IT. Sheesh. Anymore and I might go off NCIS :P But whoever is doing the reading for the ad that describes the cast members should note the way Ziva David's last name is pronounced on the show before butchering it on the FOX promos.

It's not even a week, so we'll see how this goes.
