Oh My English! is a Malaysian educational comedy series which debuted on 20 May 2012, on Astro TVIQ. The series ended on 24 December 2017.
Development
The TV series is a collaboration between Astro and the Malaysian Ministry of Education as part of an initiative to improve the pronunciation of English among Malaysians, in line with the ministry's "Upholding Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthening English" or (MBMMBI) policy. Astro worked with the ministry since 2009 to publish world-class learning programs to schools throughout Malaysia through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Kampus Astro. This project has also equipped 10,000 schools in Malaysia with flat-screen television equipment, Astro decoders and 17 education and information channels including History channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Astro Tutor TV, Astro TVIQ and others.[1]
Since 2018, there has been no plans or announcements to continue the series. Reruns of the old and current six seasons and it's telemovie specials are still shown on selected Astro channels and is available to watch on Astro On Demand.
