Introduction
In
this story book you will learn about four female characters from the
Ramayana.
Although these characters are all female,
they are not all humans. Some of the
women in this storybook are also demons.
In order to emphasize each character’s differences I have placed
each
one in different modern day television talk shows.
Welcome
to television world. . .
[Intro Music]
Hi I’m Stacy, on the TV Guide Channel. And welcome to the show
What's On
TV, where we give you today's prime time highlights and the lowdown on
what's
good and what's not. It is going to be a busy line-up, so get
ready. We have moody monsters and overly emotional females taking
over
the network’s programming.
Don't touch that remote. Stay tuned for more.

Hi, and welcome back. Today we first look at what is happening on
today's
talk shows. This afternoon there is quite a line-up on the
networks.
Oprah
is expecting record-breaking numbers in
the viewing of her afternoon show. Her guest today is Sita.
Sita
has just released her new autobiography and will be talking to Oprah
about
some of the chapters in her new book. Already #1 on the New York
Times
bestseller list, Sita's book is breaking records. Today's
show will be packed full of
interesting information. Sita is always been a fan favorite and
there are
rumors that the main subject of their interview today will be her
abduction.
What does TV Guide rate the show? We give it a thumbs up for
interest and
thumbs up for content. This is going to be a memorable show. So be sure to tune in or TiVo it.
Everyone will be talking about it tomorrow.
Stay
tuned for more What's on TV after the break.

Martha Stewart has a great show on today. She will be working on
a rock
garden with the help of Ahalya. And that is not all; Ahalya will
be cooking
her husband's favorite dish.
What does TV Guide rate the show? We give it thumbs down for
interest and
thumbs up for content. If you are interested in
gardening, it would
be a show to watch; however, Ahalya is not the most exciting guest and
she can
be a little shy in front of the camera. Although
some folks speculate that Indra might make a quick appearance - he's
just had
plastic surgery, and we've all heard he is looking much better. So, if
you're a
die-hard Indra fan, don't miss Martha's show today!
Today Jerry Springer also has a special surprise guest:
Soorpanaka. She
believes she is simply there to talk about some of the issues she has
with
everyone in her life. Jerry kicks it up a notch by inviting
Ravana to
wait back stage while his sister blabs about how stupid he is.
The
confrontation is of course expected but no less comical because of it.
What does TV Guide rate the show? We give it thumbs up for
interest and
thumbs down for content. It is not the most intellectual of shows
- but
this jealous woman makes for some great TV. There is also an
unexpected
twist to who visits her on the set.
After the break we will look at what's on T.V. tonight.
[Commercial Break]
What is on for late night? Jimmy Kimmel is Live tonight with
Thataka. She will be talking about the loss of her sons and the
difficulties she has faced being a single mom. Life is not easy
when you
are a monster. She has dealt with a lot of pain in her life - and
tonight
on Jimmy she says she finally feels like she is accomplishing
something. She is launching her new perfume line this summer, and
is
happy to finally be earning her living without breaking any laws or
causing
trouble. She has definitely gotten her life on track since her
appearance
on Dr. Phil a few months ago.
What do we rate the show? We give it thumbs up for interesting
and thumbs
down for content. It will be mindless entertainment lacking in
substance.
The witty banter that viewers hope for on late night is not
present with
this guest; Thataka is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
You can find more information about Thataka's late night appearance on
our
website. TV Guide gained access to extra cut footage from the
broadcast. Visvamitra may have turn up for a final showdown with
Thataka
- and you know what that means!
After the break, a detail, behind-the-scenes look at how Sita gets
ready
for a
television appearance: the beauty rituals, the diet, and more. TV Guide has all the information just for
you. Stay
tuned.
