Why Singapore TV Peaked in the 90s (w Vernetta Lopez)

View descriptionShare

Was there a better time for English language Singapore TV than the 1990s? Masters of the Sea, Rollin’ Good Times, Happy Belly, The Ra-Ra Show, Pyramid Game and much more appeared on our screens all at once. We reminisce with radio deejay Vernetta Lopez, who was there when it all happened, playing Denise in the hit show Under One Roof. Hear us discuss why that era was so special and productive, debates surrounding the use of Singlish, and how TV production has changed since then.
