To hell with these suck all reality shows!!


Now a days we get to see these sucked up reality shows where people pretend to be something that they arent and they call it a bloody reality show...The list is endless if i get started with...But i thought may be MTV Roadies was good but that too comes under 'suck all' shows...why cant these TV people come up with something creative...

All they do is simply copy cat a popular show from West (basically US) and present a Desi Version...Looking at the trend...

KBC, Big boss or watever, Indian Idol, Laughter challenge....

I must say all of the above shows did well in intially...KBC for example was a huge success and second season not bad either...But then people were sick of the overdose and owing to amitabh's deteriorating health it was scrapped...TRP ratings were pretty good then...but then after a few years shahrukh tried to step into big B's shoes, the craze escalated all of the sudden and in no time it simply had to hit the nadir...

Though Indian Idol is a concept borrowed from 'American Idol'...it did well initially nevertheless...but 'Indian Idol' is a thing of past now...at least from what i have seen...the craze's no longer there...Indian Idol's impact eventually led to a barrage of singing reality shows...which failed to sustain...

Oh yes! and Big Boss with Rakhi Sawant being the star attraction!!...i doubt it, but do we still have it?

May be its good for the public that these reality shows are short lived and new ones keep replacing them...

And the latest Panchvi pass is again a western concept...i havent followed it closely though...so no right to comment! But it seems so that 10ka DUM is doin better than both panchvi pass and Hrithik's new 'jashn manaale' shown on NDTV Imagine...

IPL extravaganza has been a whiff of fresh air in the midst of these reality shows and saas bahu serials...It so happens that these elderly people are glued to these serials and childern inevitably watch them coz not every house can afford multiple TVs u know...and the effects can be disastrous!!

Gone are the days when we had shows like 'Meri Awaz Suno'!

I am eagerly waiting for good old English Premier League and Champions League for they never dampen ur excitement...and a zillion times better than any reality show we have...all i want to say is 'sports' are a safe bet anyday...which will never bore us...! I will be grateful for the fact that we had Roland Garros, IPL and now Euro 2008, Formula-1 and Wimbeldon...they rescued me from the predicament of a boring vacation !!

Some of the reality shows r bad. They could improve the quality of other programs instead spending it all on those particular reality shows.
