I dont know if anyone will be interested but I wrote a long epistle regarding one of 4lion's obnoxiouse comments on Geet and it's closure in forum32. (This is exactly what they will say once IPK shut shop). The comment in red was what riled me up (even though I've never even watched Geet ever)

"when the story of Geet finished and we were making those draggy episodes that made no sense - even to us"-4lions
Wow!! seriously? You made draggy episodes that made no sense to you? Is this something we expect to hear from a Production house who claims their shows to be their 'babies'?
Whatever said and done, how much the story might have run it's course, you have no right to deliberately show 'draggy' episeodes that make no sense not even to you, that demeanes the initial beauty of the show. Please give me a break when you say you couldn't find a good story line to keep the quality intact. Why do we call the people working for the show as 'creatives'? We call them creatives beacuse it's their job to think creatively. They are getting paid to write and execute stories that would interest the audience and keep them captivated. It only takes a bit of effort and interest from your so called 'creatives' part. This shows nothing but carelessness and lack of interest in the show. (Or was it beacuse all the creative brains were cartered off to start IPK?)
I refuse to believe Geet 'ran it's course' (as you seem to be telling about another show too) and you had to resort to show crap. At least show something that is worth while until the show officially had to come to it's end? Why make it a mockery when you know the end is near? When you knew very well that the show's days were numbered, you should have made an effort to give a good story line, at least as a tribute to what it had been. You should have given something people could have held onto at the last stages of the show without showing storylines that didnt even 'make sense' to you. How can you play with sentiments of these loyal viewrs who watched the show through thick and thin?
More than that how could you delieberately demean and mutilate your own product and even accept the fact that you did so without batting an eye lash in a public platform with an official seal like this? Heights of unprofessionalism to actually accept the fact that you produced mediocre content (at least do so without harping about it to the whole world).
Bottom line, you cannot deliberately put down the quality of your product for any reason whatso ever. It's one of the basic rules we learn in Business 101. As a viewer and a consumer who had been following 4lions productions, I am judging you and your production house nine ways to Sunday and mark my words when I say I will think twice before indulging myself on a future product of yours.
Your very first line shows how much attention and care you gave to Geet at it's last stage. It's outragouse that you knowingly made no effort to make the show at least a little bit interesting for the viewers. Is this because you found better and bigger fish to fry? You (4lions) wrote things that didnt make sense, (you admitted it yourself) that didn't need much thought so that you can run and concentrate on your new pet project IPK? Am I not right?
So is this the exact same thing happening to IPK now, becuase you have found your latest baby in QH? Is this the reason for the 'draggy episodes that make no sense' in IPK? Am I right to decipher this pattern in your Production house? Once you loose interest in a show, it become 'draggy' and the excuse will be becuase 'story has run it's course'?
Will we see the same excuse dished out to QH, one year from now on?
Please tell!
