TVB wanted creativity and produced a comedy series "A Chip Off The Old Block", which premiered last night. The story is about a stubborn father Chor Fan (Sunny Chan) and snobbish son Chor Chi (Ron Ng) not getting along. Later, Chor Chi encountered lightning while he was in the elevator and traveled back in time to the 60's. Back in the 60's, he met a group of residents there. After the series broadcast, Netizens criticized that the the series copied 1993 film "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Father" (新難兄難弟). Whether if it's the characters, the plot or the dialogue, it is all very similar to the film. Netizens denounced how this is considered a "creative comedy"! Back in the day, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Tony Leung Ka Fai played father and son in "He Ain't Heavy...", Netizens said that Sunny and Ron are their "pirated versions", as they had similar personalities. Besides Sunny's character name is "Chor Fan, he also uses the favorite line: "People help me, I help people" and he'll also be a thief/bandit to borrow money in order to help with the disaster relief and other good deeds.

The other night, Netizens discovered errors in the series, when Chor Chi was chasing after a thief, he injured his left hand. However, afterwards when his father came into the room to twist his ear, his bandage was on his right hand, a serious flaw.
