I was not on IF yesterday...but as soon as I logged on this morning, I read the article about JB reunion...
Based on past experience, I say this is a hoax created to save the dropping TRPs...I know there are those out there who are of the opinion that TRPs are not dropping and I respect you opinion.
To most, a slip from 5 to 6, or from 8 to 9 is not a big deal. But if you see the graph of TRPs for this show from the beginning to now...it first climbed and since then it has been a very consistent decline (ofcourse sometimes there was a plateau). But hey, I dont make the money off the TRPs so I dont think I care so much.
But to me, it seems like everytime the serial takes a dip, a common "rumor" has been used to lure back the audience. This shows that the makers know what keeps the viewers glued to the serial. I mean how many times in the last 3 months have we heard JB reunion "news"? Does this not mean anything?
And if they do realize, then why not use it to the optimum on a regular basis rather than bring in the saving grace once in a while to hype up the serial? To me, as a business student and a marketing aspirant, it seems a very easy logic. I know my end users, I know what they appreciate in my product, so I have to use my business skills to sell my product in a manner that I make the most profits.
Applying to KS, if BT knows that hyping JB reunion bring back a slight upward curve in their TRPs (and thus profits), then they should use their "skills" as "creatives" to use this ace in their hands to its maximum benefit.
Now as to what they can show...I am sure we have many who are tired of the stares...but guys you have to remember, like every other lead pair, the JDD and the stares is what makes JB. I am not promoting a 23 minute episode dedicated to it, but ask yourself truthfully, isn't romance a part of a healthy marraige?
And why can a married couple not be together and still face problems, why does it have to be issues with ones past? Why is seperation and third angel so important? Agreed, this happens in life, but I think you will find more examples of "real" couples who fight against the odds together than leaving the other at the drop of the hat.
just my POV (and apparently a repeated one)
