Too exhausted to read a woman magazine? Then why not just sit down, grab your remote control and tune in to iTV at 10:30 p.m. every Thursday. There you can enjoy Ann & Nut Mai Jamkud (Ann & Nut Unlimited).

This is another women's magazine style program, offering beauty tips, shopping ideas, health advice and tips for the lonely hearted. While the content isn't very different from any other women's show, the hosts Ann Thongprasom and Nut Khemklad (two attractive celebrities who are also best friends) are the real charm of the program.

Along with the gorgeous hosts, the quality of guests appearing, the variety offered and great editing and camera work make this program a winner.

This is the first program that Ann and Nut have hosted. Because of their lack of experience, the two show some weaknesses while running the program. Their interviews obviously follow a script. When Ann finishes a question, Nut will immediately start asking another one. Because of this, they sometimes don't pick up on something interesting that a guest mentions. This leaves the audience wanting to hear more about that subject, while the two hosts have gone on following their script.

Fortunately, Ann and Nut are so charming. When they chat with guests, who are usually celebrities, the audience feels as if they are watching a couple of friends chatting over coffee. The fact that Ann and Nut are best friends helps the program look more casual and guests seem comfortable to be with the two cute friends.

Besides Ann and Nut, there is also a solid group of reporters that keep us updated on events and happenings outside the studio.

Although the program isn't the perfect show, it isn't dull at all. It is definitely a good TV program for anyone who enjoys reading women's magazines.

So next time you can't be bothered to pick up the latest issue of Elle, tune in to Ann & Nut Unlimited and you probably won't be disappointed.
