1. The terrible two
May 21st 2013, 23:18

The Sofa Spudniks turns two this week! We can’t believe it, really. We were going through all our past articles, trying to decide how we should celebrate our anniversary and ended up laughing at some of the ideas we’ve come up with thus far which have received positive responses from siblings, workmates, gym friends and even ex-bosses, some of whom have left us comments and suggestions ... woohoo! Then our entertainment editor, Gordon Kho, came up with a brilliant idea to give our readers a challenge; We’ve cooked up a little crossword using all our favourite TV programmes as the ingredients!

If you’ve been reading The Sofa Spudniks regularly over the last couple of years, this puzzle will be a breeze. If you haven’t (please tell us why???), we hope it will be an enjoyable challenge, at least.

Television has been such a big part of our lives, and yes, though the method in which we consume these brilliant shows may have changed over the years, one thing has remained the same: We love TV. Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy our little crossword challenge. HBO and Cinemax have graciously offered some merchandise to be given away to our readers. We’ve got notebooks, laptop backpacks and T-shirts to give to the first five all-correct entries. So, get to it! Send your entries to: The Sofa Spudniks, Entertainment Desk, Star Publications (M) Bhd, Menara Star, 15 Jalan 16/11, 46350 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
