Complaints

- The Fortune Buddies (勁抽福祿壽): Fuk Luk Sau's 2011 film was broadcast Saturday night (10/6) on TVB Jade channel. The Chinese characters in the original movie title "勁" and "壽" was written in simplified Chinese and in the television broadcast, TVB left it in that form at the opening title. Audience were very upset at TVB for disrespecting Hong Kong. The Broadcasting Authority received a total of 137 complaints, displeased by the use of simplified Chinese in the opening, promotion clip, program schedule and movie poster. Some complaints were because TVB decided to broadcast a comedy film during the time of grief (referring to Lamma Island ferry accident). TVB received 52 email and 3 telephone complaints, displeased TVB showed no respect for HK culture. (Total of 192 complaints) TVB responded, expressing they had no way of changing the original works and hoped the audience understands.
- Weekly Exposed (爆足一周), hosted by Eileen Cha. 14 complaints. Displeased by the poll "Do you support Leon Lai and ShuQi reconciling?", Audience felt the poll disrespected Leon and Gaile Lok's divorce. Netizens changed the show's title to "Weekly Explode of Scolds". There were also complaints on the contents of the show, that there was no evidence to backup their claims, it is misleading, violates artists' privacy, sends negative messages and not news worthy at all.
- The Last Steep Ascent (天梯): 2 complaints. Displeased that TVB didn't let audience know in advance that the series was broadcasting at an earlier time.
- Highs and Lows (雷霆掃毒): 1 complaint. The plot was unreasonable.
