2006 Warehouse Series

A warehouse series is a series that didn't release to the Hong Kong audiences, instead, the series was released to the oversea fans first. There is chance for the warehouse series to be aired in HK after releasing in oversea, but the chances are small.


In 2006, the warehouse series included:
Vagabond Vigilante - starring Sonjia Kwok, Sunny Chan and Kenny Ho. I never watched this series, so sad. I wanted to watch it, but I never got the chance to rent this series. The chance of releasing this series in HK - not likely at all.

Au Revoir Shanghai - starring Bosco Wong, Michael Miu, Anne Heung and Shirley Yeung. I believe I am going to say this is the worst series of the year, so sorry to the Bosco fans, I really have no idea why this series was even produced. Maybe that's why it got warehoused. The storyline was horrible... The chance of releasing this series in HK - very unlikely.

The Price of Greed, starring Bosco Wong, Sammul Chan, Shirley Yeung and Kate Tsui. This is a 2006 series, and it was on the program highlight many times, but it never got aired. In December, this will become a warehouse series officially and to be released to oversea fans. So sad for Bosco, this is his second series to be warehoused in just one year...

War and Destiny - starring Ron Ng, Myolie Wu, Leila Tong and Sunny Chan. A grand production series, but also got warehoused, maybe the HK audiences are not interested in the war in Mainland. But I cared about it a lot, since I grew up in Mainland. I think the overall story was good, but not good enough to get everyone's interest. The chance of releasing this series in HK - 50% if TVB has nothing to air in the beginning of next year. But, I think TVB has too many series to air, so it's not likely for this series to be aired..

Face to Fate - starring Frankie Lam, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung. This is the best warehouse series of the year if I didn't watch the last 4 or 5 episodes. I really love the story in the beginning, it is interesting and fun to watch. However, the later part gets messy, maybe that's why the series was warehoused. This series also brings the Fantasy style back. It is consider as a success, I believe TVB knows it, that's why TVB is making more Fantasy alike series now. The chance of releasing this series in HK - not likely.

Have you noticed, all the warehouse shows in 2006 were all Ancient series? Is TVB getting less confident about releasing Ancient series?

Also, one warehouse series was aired, that was Trimming Success, starring Kevin Cheung, Nadia Chan and Sharon Chan. This series was first released in oversea, after the success of Under the Canopy of Love, TVB decided to air this series to promote Kevin. As a result, the air rating for this series wasn't bad.



Some other 2006 Productions was never aired, and also didn't get warehoused. But the chance of warehousing these series are likely:

First, Devil's Disciples, starring Kevin Cheung, Bosco Wong, Bernice Liu and Sharon Chan. This was showing at the 2006 TVB Sales Presentation, and it was in the program highlights for so many times. The chance of airing this series in 2007 - very unlikely, because it is a fantasy, kung fu type of series. TVB is still trying out this type of series.

The Master of Tai Chi, starring Raymond Lam and Myolie Wu. We have been waiting all year for this series, but it never aired. The chance of airing this series in 2007 - very likely. I think over 90% of chance that TVB will air this one. I hope I am right, because the series can be very interesting to watch.

The Ultimate Crime Fighter, starring Moses Chan, Kevin Cheung and Yuen Biao, the series was also in the 2006 sales presentation, but didn't get the chance to be released in 2006. The chance of airing this series is about 60% because it is in the 2007 program highlight.

Heavenly In Laws, starring Joey Leung, Nancy Sit and Linda Chung. I think the chance for airing this series is very low, because some HK audiences haven't forgive Joey Leung yet. It will be a little risky to air this series...
