@hain:- Agree that the channels ask the PH to keep on extending the show but not all shows can be stretched at will. For that the PH should have a complete story at hand and they should know how to add some twists and turns but keep the essence intact.
The PH which are slowly becoming master at this is the mittals and the Yash patnaik's. Take the case of candle and wick show. It will be 3 years since the show started but it is only now they got the lead to be an IPS officer. The creatives started to work on the track 6 months beforehand and they selected the cadets for 6 months cameo. They had an unit stationed in Harayana and kept on shooting the IPS track. Hence the show connects with the audience. Similar is the case of veera - the show started at exactly the same day as QH but the story is not even at the mid point.
Love stories can't be extended beyond their shelf life. It is just a torture to the fans and the audience.
And yes going by all things Mahabharata is going to end gracefully in august. The show has absolute media blackout and hence no SBS/SBB promotions and was in production for 3 yrs and now they had the end planned out by august. From sept till now not one episode is bad and the grandeur is maintained even now.
