if we look at 7 weeks of trp for SMD:

- If I look at average TRPs across the 7 weeks for SMD and other Geo shows, SMD had slightly lower average TRP than Dil-e-Nadaan (which used to go up against KMKT).
SMD having similar-ish trp performance to a show like Dil e Nadaan is nothing to boast about honestly.

Ok fair but is it something to complain about week after week? I don’t think anyone is boasting about the tv ratings…just saying it isn’t the most terrible thing. I think we can just accept that this will probably stay in the 6-7 range. I’ve listed my reasons for why I think it isn’t performing well live. I can see it from a mile away so I find it hard to believe the makers didn’t. I think the took a calculated risk. I don’t think it’s a matter of them over estimating Wahaj’s star power because quite honestly it’s only his star power that is bringing in most of the views…some stick around for the story but many are sticking around for him.
But in all seriousness, we get nothing out of this guys. Watch if you’re enjoying, don’t watch if you aren’t. Of course it’s nice when the show you enjoy is doing well but at the end of the day, it shouldn’t really impact viewers.
**** This isn’t a dig at you Hypno. I appreciate all the work you put into your stats. I’m talking about others on social media who don’t watch the show but are obsessed with hating on it.
