There’s buzz going around of a boycott — or at least a proposal for a boycott — of the newest season of the TV show Desperate Housewives, where character Teri Hatcher makes this remark: “Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? ‘Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”

Local primetime TV now has a version of Shaider, the metal-hero series popular in the 1980s when I was a kid. In the new show which airs on GMA 7 (titled Zaido) the lead is a descendant of the original Shaider, and he has with him two other Pulis Pangkalawakans recruited by the Galactic Force to help in the fight against the evil Kuma Lei Ar (Fuma Lei Ar in the original). The show is apparently under license from Toei, the makers of the original series from Japan.
