Power Weapon Bosco Wong

It's not easy to rank a TVB celebrity's popularity, you can not just add the amount of fans and the anti-fans to solve the equation. There are number of factors you have to look at:

Popularity base on acting skills? Bosco is a great actor, period. However, acting skills can be over-shadowed by many other factors, it's a reality in the entertainment world.
Popularity base on series? You know, sometimes, you will not see a series if so and so is not in the series. That is totally the case between Bosco and I. I won't watch "Wong Fei Hung", and I will never finish watching "War of In Laws" if Bosco was not in it. Bosco is those kind of TVB star, who will make major impacts in all of his series.
Popularity base on TVB ranking? It's true if TVB promotes you more, you will get more popular. I am glad Bosco is being heavily promoted, he needs to get to the next level sooner or later.
Popularity base on TVBsquare ranking? No, way, I don't have that kind of power. However, if I like so and so, you will see them everywhere in TVB Square. I admit I am biased, that's the definition of being a fan.
Popularity base on air ratings? TVB cares about the air ratings a lot, but I don't. To me, the impact of air ratings equal nothing. In Bosco's case, his "War of In Laws" can have the best air rating last year, and his "Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion" can have the worst air rating this year, all that means nothing to me, it only gives the advertisers more or less chances to spend money.

TVB Square's multi-million dollars trivia question: currently, TVB is airing 2 different Bosco series at 2 different time slots in the same night. This will go on for a week as LWOLAP and "Under the Canopy of Love" are both on TV (this means, HK audiences will see 2 Bosco in same night for the entire week). I am wondering when is the last time TVB ever release 2 series of the same person (in the leading role) at the same night? My guess is never, Bosco is the first case, however, if you do know the answer, please let me know, even though I do not have multi-million dollars to give away, but I really want to know. Remember, I am only talking about the leading roles, not the supporting roles.


vs.
Week of Feb. 20, 2006: TVB Jade Channel, 8:00PM vs. 10:00PM (HK time), catch two Bosco (at leading roles) at the two different time slots ;-)

    Yah, Bosco is a really good actor. He's 1 of my fave actors! Bosco's my 2nd fave actor. lol Raymond's 1st & Ron's 3rd. hehehehe.... I luv de characters that Bosco plays, especialy de funny 1s! I just luv his facial expression when he plays a funny character, like in "War of In Laws!" De scene when he talks 2 himself bout his wife liking his other heroic side more than his normal husband side is JUST HILARIOUS! His face was soooo funny! & when his wife pictured him as a grl sewing was sooooooooooooooo funny! Bosco's part in War of In Laws was soooo funny! That movie made Bosco my 2nd fave actor, & made Myolie(his wife in WOIL)my 2nd fave actress! To mee, I think they really do make a great couple! Just like Raymond & Charmaine......=)
