@meteora_smt: That was a superb, concise and accurate post.👏 I agree with everything you've said.

The American TV industry's system of operating shows on a seasonal basis provides for more intelligent scripts, refreshed actors/actresses who actually get a hiatus from the show and it promotes good competition as viewers have the time to give attention to quality shows. Emphasis on the quality, as the Indian TV has an abundant choice of shows but there is not much variety.

The Balaji K-serials that dominate Indian TV at times can be a entertaining when a fresh new talent is introduced and your drawn into rooting for your fav. characters, but then the novelty wears off and your left with a repetitive, stagnant and predictable story.

The reality shows serves to break up the monotony of Indian TV by showcasing and honing the talents of ppl from all walks of life. Albeit, the questionable judging, biased voting and producers manipulation of the reality in the reality shows can be frustrating but that is short-lived since the show ends in due course. Unlike the Indian shows that drag and lose continuity in their haste to stretch the story and keep the show everlasting.

Indian TV has reached such heights with its international platform and with tellywood more readily crossover with Bollywood, vice versa but it still not tapping into the full potential of the entertainment industry. Confined to these saas-bahu dramas with the rare off-beat dramas like LRL, Four etc being telecasted on the less popular channels. The trend towards versatile shows will not be successful until the run of the mill saas-bahu shows take a backseat.

Ekta wields too much power in the industry and although i'm grateful to her for scouting out such great talented actors/actresses but it'd be nice if she aimed to please the audience and bring in original concepts in her story. Balaji is in the best position to afford to work on the content of the saas-bahu shows and can improve their standards if the producers, writers are willing to try. The TRPs will take care of themselves once the mediocrity is resolved.

However, i'd rather not see an over abundance of reality shows either as that can become irritating as it means the writers have all dried up and all your left with unscripted shows. So if Indian TV can strike a balance between the two it would be ideal.

great topic 👏
the choice varies from person to person but dese reality shows dese days r best as seen by ppls views actually these r da shows which paly with emotions like lill champs n chote ustaad going on so whenever i champ is out we feels ad n cry with them i feel they r just doing to raise theirs trps n all but according to me none is better now ppl will come towards me with dandas but da fact is both r playing with our emotions but in reality shows atleast we have something informative to see n listen but in daily soaps only ladaai violence romance drama

But which one did you enjoy the most??

Kasam Se 😛
Which one do you prefer watching??

Tv Serials

Thats because realty shows end quickly 😛
Reality Shows Or the TV serials, which excites you the most??

Tv serials 😛

If on one hand reality shows provide a platform for showcasing the talent, then TV serials gave their own part of entertainment..

But overall, who rules the industry?? TV soaps or Reality Shows??

Depends on how they perform it.
I say -- Tv serials

i liked both of them.... we are seeing the daily soaps since a long time so interest develops automatically.... whereas reality shows give us some change.....apart from all that rona dhona.. both are nice

Being casual would say reality TV is more entertaining, as you are not sure what reaction to expect and reactions are natural not scripted.

On more thought, would say both have thier plus and minus points...depending on individuals both can be entertaining. One minus thing about soaps of today, is over over exaggeration of everything drama/emotions/etc/etc... unrealistic situations created again and again...after a while gets to the nerves. Finally it's the game of trp... I won't count( barring few) the so called reality shows or talent shows are portrays 100% reality ...

As long as tellywood does not promote dialogs that are anti-national, seditionist, and the actions of the characters go by the indian penal code without violence/kidnapping/rape/bigamy/extortion/bribery/politicisi ng/sensationalism or anything criminal on part of the charecters/exhibitors, social-responsible tv is always welcome be it reality or soap. Few of them incorporate humorous themes, more humor will be welcome than less.
The characters who sign the contracts to the serial should also only sign roles that contribute towards peace and harmony to society and not accept roles that display how not to be. Only then will producers not exhibit those themes.

Before, I could say that Reality shows are more entertaining because they aren't sciprted but these days that isn't even 100% true.

I would and always pick Daily Soaps. However it is hard because both promote two different things, and i believe having the mix of both is very important. 😊
