Metro TV's Mata Najwa: The Premiere (part1)


Najwa in action: When beauty and intelligence come in the same package
 

Najwa Shihab is always a magnet for TV audience particularly news programs lovers.  Miss Shihab (who is no longer 'miss' as she is married and has given birth to a son) is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding female anchors this nation has ever had. This wide-eyed daughter of Quraish Shihab also topped the best and the most celebrated Metro TV's anchors list airing a couple of days ago. The rest were Fifi Aleyda Yahya, Sumi Yang, Tomy Cokro, Prabu Revolusi Frida Lidwina, Desi 'the relic' Anwar,  Kania Sutisnawinata, Zelda Safitri, and Meutia Hafidz (if I'm not mistaken, the order wasn't precisely that way actually). Perhaps that is why Metro TV gave her a new responsibility, to anchor a newly launched talkshow program named after her, MATA NAJWA (The Eyes of Najwa). But why eyes? Chances are Metro TV got inspired by Sony Muchlison's remark about the dashing anchor's alluring eyes. Sony said Shihab's best physical feature is her captivating pair of eyes and who dares to deny that?

Hi guys, previously on my post about Mata Najwa, I gave some comments on the show's format and 'packaging'. It was quite fun to have a new show here amidst the raging stream of Indonesian electronic cinemas (sinetron) which provide an endless supply of drama and romance that I am getting fed up with.


Speaking of sinetrons, don't we realize recently drama and romance have been the major themes decorating our TV screens? And even you're watching a news program, if you're really aware, there are some parts of news that merely highlight the dramatic and melancholic side of someone's life.
