You speak of culture and history but being 16 and presumably born in the US you know nothing of neither. Your preference of watching PBN because their shows are flashier which speaks nothing of substance, the only things of value are some of Nguyen Ngoc Ngan’s anecdotes and bits and pieces of history here and there. Yes I agree PBN’s shows are more polished but the direction they’re moving in bothers me. It seems like they’re trying to cater to mainstream Americans, I know it sounds funny but here’s the proof. They’ve had Shawnda Sawyer as their main choreographer for a long time now and I know they’ve entered PBNs into American award shows because they brought that fact up in one of the previous PBNs. These shows are made by Vietnamese/Vietnamese Americans for the same demographic and I being a Vietnamese American certainly prefer substance more than flash. I understand PBN is trying to explore new horizons and trying to expand into the area of creative art, but at the same time it’s cutting into the substance of the show. Now as far as your criticism of Asia being too much pro Republic of South Vietnam and spewing war propaganda, while it’s true to a certain extent, it’s not all bad. Take the propaganda at face value and try to gleam from the rest of the show the history and experiences that they’re trying to impart on you. Yes all that stuff tends to get boring after a while but think about the people that gave up their lives for you so that you can be 16 and sitting around watching these shows. I usually don’t like to call people out but what you said makes you sound like an ingrate or at the very least just ignorant. If you watched Asia 58: La Thu Tu Chien Truong you’d understand, hearing the letters of the soldiers from the front writing to their family, hearing how their lives were shattered because of the war you’d probably have a more grateful view towards them and what Asia is trying to do. Just with the realization that some of those people whose letters they were reading might not have made it through the war, might have died all those years ago fighting for your freedom should show you why to this day we still hold them in such high regards. With that being said, I watch both PBN and Asia and enjoy both. This wasn’t meant to be a history lesson or a lecture, just thought you should try to look at things from a different point of view, may give some clarity. If you do get around to watching Asia 58, ask your parents what the song “Co Nhung Nguoi Anh” is about and ask them to explain the lyrics to you, you might find it insightful.
