CARTOONS with an alien storyline seem to have a great fascination for kids. After the stupendous success of Ben 10, Cartoon Network has started yet another series about extra-terrestrial creatures. Linus & His Giant Friend from Monday to Thursday at 7.30 P.M. on Cartoon Network revolves around a 12-year-old boy Linus, who meets a giant alien called Boom, who has the power to transform into a human being. Linus and his friends have set up the school astronomy club. They soon detect that Space Development Centre (SDC), a group of aliens, is trying to take over planet Earth. Linus and his gang decide to stop them. Helped by Boom, the boys set out to thwart the evil designs of the SDC.

Funny side up

This series is narrated through flashbacks from the future. How I Met Your Mother from Monday to Thursday at 11 p.m. on Star World is a comedy about Ted, who is desperate to fall in love. Ted’s best friend Marshall has told him that he’s going to propose to his long-time girlfriend. At that moment, Ted realises that he, too, should a move on if he hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is another friend Barney, with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets a beautiful girl, he’s sure it is love at first sight. But destiny has something else in store. This romantic comedy is full of funny situations. It stars Neil Patrick Harris who played a 16-year-old doctor in the nineties sitcom Doogie Howser. — NF
