This week EPG synopses (with a rare added Bonus Feature)

P.S. I had to write the initial welcome note/para again due to an anticipated/expected "CAPTCHA error", but as they say: "Whatever happens, happens for good". So I got the chance to improve it a lot [during second-attempt]. 😊

So as promised in the title, here's the source:

*Those who do own Sony[ Ericsson]'s Xperia smartphones must be aware of this company as it also powers the factory-installed music track recognition app called 'TrackID'.

So where ever you got this from not reliable source. better still are you watching/following the show???

Hello "dear", first of all Thank You So Much for having a look at my post and responding to it! I really appreciate it! 😊 Now coming to the points raised by you, I'm gonna respond to them one-by-one in the same sequential formal as you've written/typed.

Yes, I know that the synopses posted by me till the time you replied were of last week's ending and therefore not actually episodic synopses. And that's the reason I didn't use the word "spoiler[s]" anywhere in the title at all because that would be [a] misleading [title] and I didn't wanted to get higher views on my thread by "click-bait". Look, I know this will lengthy but I somehow feel important to inform all of you about the behind-the-scenes stuff of Electronic Programming Guides. Being a "TV buff", I know that synopses of Hindi GECs' shows being run by commercial/private broadcasters (strictly Star India, SPN [India] and ZEE in my example) are either sometimes 1-3 episodes to a week to - and in rare cases, even few weeks delayed or then sometimes they're 1-3 episodes to a week to - in very rare cases, even few weeks ahead qualifying as "weekly spoilers" or sometimes, they hint at/describes events in that particular episode occasionally along with few portions of [the] preceding/following episode[s] thus actually qualifying as "episodic spoilers". Since this activity is viewed as "promotional" in the work culture of TV networks, my take would be that it's heavily influenced by "those marketing guys" of their respective broadcasters. So they decide to take calls on what kind of text-matter should go into as "synopsis" for each airing of the said programme. Period. 😊

With that being said, I know it might be hard-to-believe to most of you (if [fortunately] not all), that there's only one original single source servicing the needs of Electronic Programming Guide data for both public and private broadcasters in Indian TV market since years. As in broadcasters don't manage/maintain the programming data of their line-ups themselves, they just command to that "original single source" that what kind of data should go-in with their respective time slots. You might've noticed there's not considerable difference between synopsis (which you probably seem to prefer calling a "spoiler") for a particular kind of programming at a particular air-time between various sources, that's because the direct source's [from which you've fetched data] preference of choosing either a programme-based data or an episode-based data. And if you still can't get it, then a further and more-reliable testimony would be to have a look at Star[ India]'s example. Ever since shutting-down all of its TV channels/networks' websites since early last year for the sake of their video-only digital venture, 'hotstar'. They introduced a dedicated 'TV Guide' page on their corporate website few months later which includes EPG data for all of their portfolio of channels. That is made possible through the same, single original source! It isn't because they don't have adequate staff to manage this nor there is any economic/"cost-cutting" issue, thinking even about bad co-ordination between channels would be just ludicrous. It's only because they didn't need to as that single source has an enormous distribution network and maintaining their in-house EPG service would just cause ambiguity to the "end-consumer" (viewing audience) and since it distributes the EPG data of their programming line-ups since several years to all platforms the same way like every other broadcaster. Ahh.., Enough Said! 😊 So the point which I'm trying to make by this much lengthy "gyaan" is that calling that/those source[s] "unreliable" would serve no purpose as there's no other [independent] option available, if the data is 1-2 episodes old, it's most probably by the will of said broadcaster i.e. SPN in this case. Hope now you got my point clear! 😊 Now coming forth to the question which I eagerly wanted to answer, yes I'm following the show "devotionally" since inception and unlike many of us here, I do watch it on TV. I can't recall watching any single entire episode online and regularly, do catch its every possible repeat on TV. Even whether it was Sunday's late-night weekly BACK-to-Back/catchup[s] episodes or Monday's early-morning weekly Back-to-Back/catchup[s] episodes. You may read more about me at Page 5 of the intro thread. Hope you got answers of all of your questions properly. 😊

Note: I've written almost 85% of this message several hours ago but was "brutally defeated" by the battery-drainage of my lousy smartphone. I hadn't completed my sleep and was so worried by that warning that I was although successful in copying it (that text-matter) but forgot to save it as draft somewhere [else]. 😭 Then, had to juggle with my routine to properly re-create a reply to you. At last, I would like to repeat what I quoted in the founding post of this thread and missed in that episodic thread: "Whatever happens, happens for Good" as it gave me the chance to improvise upon the lost version of the raw-script. 😊 And finally, hope you or anyone else reading this post wouldn't have taken any "offence" as I intended none. 🤔
