Reality shows rule the roost
While TV channels continue to have their dosage of daily soaps, spanning various genres, what comes across as the most favored choice of the audience, is the wide range of reality shows, offered by TV today.
Right from reality shows on cooking, dancing, business, singing to the more TRP generating dating and love reality shows, the TV channels have a huge platter serving every kind. Reality shows have indeed carved a niche of their own on TV today.
Earlier, reality show concept was a far fetched concept and just a few were on space. Only singing reality shows like Meri Awaaz Suno', Close up Antakshari' and Sa re ga ma'were in the chart. Now the ever increasing popular demand of watching some live entertainment, via some fights, drama and tragedy, has generated the concept of reality shows.
The concept was initially heard in American shows. Thanks to Shilpa Shetty, our country too has now accepted the concept well and no wonders, we now have our own Indian version of Big Brother! The most recent one is the Bigg Boss-season 7' entrant onColors, which is all about drama, comedy and real life battle among 15 contestants, all of who are celebs in their own right!
Not just Bigg Boss, today we have almost 6-7 different kinds of reality shows, entertaining the masses. With shows like Connected Hum Tum' and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' ending with fan furor, the audience is still eager to watch the rest of it.
There are shows like Indian Idol Junior', Dance India Dance-Super Moms', Junior Masterchef India' and the baaps' of all current reality shows, Kaun Banega Crorepati 7' to watch out for. If not satisfied with this, India will soon have its own matrimony reality show. All thanks to Mallika Sherwat, who will be seen in the Indian version of The Bachelorette' for groom hunting!
For more gossip and glam, our audience does have dating, live stings and several other reality shows on UTV Bindaas, MTV and Channel V. The most popular that comes to mind is the Roadies, which seems to grow onto our minds every year, right from the audition! Other than that on air, there are shows like Emotional Atyachaar', which is good for catching a glimpse of our current dating scenario.
Hence proved, that our audience is now biting onto these reality shows to fuel their desires and derive their regular quota of love, tragedy, drama, thrill and excitement! There are no doubts that these reality shows are harboring on the adrenaline levels of the audience quite well! No wonder, the TRP elevator for such programs is always up!
