Stuck in the whirlwind of QH rumors regarding leap, quitting cast, roller coaster ride story, inumerous twitter protests, I wonder who is the real idiot here? Why QH took this path? why Channel, CVs, Actors, Story, Characters and Audience are on a path that was not originally intended?

I am convinced that the coveted idiot is none other than the audience and below are my reasons for the conclusion:

1. Channel
Motive: Milk the popularity of the show.
Justification: Worth it to give QH drag a try in the interest of time than gambling with a new show.

2. CVs
Motive: Dragging the show brings in revenue, more episodes gives illusion of success.
Justification: known devil is better than an unknown angel.

3. Actors
Motive: Remuneration and future career growth.
Justification: Reputation and work life balance.

4. Story/ Characters
Motive: TRPs
Justification: Behind the scene politics

5. Audience
Motive: Entertainment
Justification: None, because audience has no obligation to hold on to the show if it is no more entertaining but we are sticking around in the false hope that our once favorite show will be resurrected, though our previous experience tell us otherwise, therefore, undoubtedly the idiot is audience to be loyal to a show when the show's team itself is moving to the greener pastures.

Any disagreements? If so, please share it in a dignified debate.

You are absolutely right dear.
Only we are the idiots to fall for their tricks in the hope of we wil get what we wish to see.
But wont get anything only heartbreak.
Reasons may be whatever they are showing or happened only we are the one suffering.
I lost hope in QH.We dont get anything interesting from them now.
Our hope is useless.
Let them show what they want.
I quit it.
And i will never fall for any show.
It hurts so much.😭

Shows are falling prey to business politics, CVs prefer to play safe by going the old success formulae way of tears for a set of fixed audience rather that trying a fresh concept that go with the younger generations or audience that are looking for change.

1. Channel
Motive: Milk the popularity of the show.
Justification: Worth it to give QH drag a try in the interest of time than gambling with a new show.
A new show is a lot of money not to mention the cost. And a soe takes time to establish a loyal audience base. Business wise it makes sense too. The profitable product line is always produced to maximum. So channel is just doing what any business would do.

2. CVs
Motive: Dragging the show brings in revenue, more episodes gives illusion of success.
Justification: known devil is better than an unknown angel.
The unknown could be another devil or deep blue sea. Can't call them idiots, even though sometimes they write outrageously. But they go with the flow. One day sit and watch the episodes of top 5 serials.

3. Actors
Motive: Remuneration and future career growth.
Justification: Reputation and work life balance.
Actors rarely have a say in storyline but are max affected by the success or failure if tracks. With the amount of competition, it's more difficult for them than we think. They are certainly not idiots.
4. Story/ Characters
Motive: TRPs
Justification: Behind the scene politics

5. Audience
Motive: Entertainment
Justification: None, because audience has no obligation to hold on to the show if it is no more entertaining but we are sticking around in the false hope that our once favorite show will be resurrected, though our previous experience tell us otherwise, therefore, undoubtedly the idiot is audience to be loyal to a show when the show's team itself is moving to the greener pastures.
Audience too,cannot be called idiots. There are diff class of audience. What may be boring to us may be interesting to someone else. So, if we may quit some others may join.
Any disagreements? If so, please share it in a dignified debate.




Tv is an idiot box.
And all of us watching tv are none the better.
Of all the 5 entities u have mentioned, 4 of them are making money, while audience is paying money.
So it's time audience demanded some quality or rejected bad quality. Till then this is gonna happen.

It used to be an idiot box but now its changing and now actually TV is a medium that has great platform with untapped potential to bring in the awareness and change in society with thought provoking shows than mindless kitchen politics. Success of shows such as Sathyamevajayathe proves audience changing taste and preferences ...today TV is watched by all age groups all the time due to changing dynamics of nuclear families, working women resulting in time crunch for organizing and socializing etc.
