Please help me with your replies

Guys I have got a research project relating to the television industry and I have find out why television viewers in India prefer to watch Infinite series (Yeh Rishta, SNS) over Finite series (POW, Everest, Dahleez or vice versa. Is it because of the content, actors or character you can relate to or there is any other reason

People who have a lot of time to kill everday prefer to watch infinite daily soaps.

IMO Dance/singing reality shows contestants should be selected solely on the basis of their talent. Roadies should be on the basis of survival skills and X-factor.

This is one person's response. Hope this helps and hope you have managed the rest.

in roadies some are selected on the basis of drama , some fir glamour , others coz of muscle power and abs


the roadies giving drama survive till the end of show
and ya judges give preference to punjabi contestants



dance+ is all about talent

Both daily infinite as finite, start out with a very simple plot of boy and girl falling in love (eventually), in which family, values and culture, religious holidays play a huge role. Especially, the housewife group will like this. Also, there are no explicit sexual scenes, so you can watch with the family. It approximately 30 min per serie. There is lots of repeat of scenes, short dialogues, easy to follow.

In the end they like the actor, most stories are basically the same. In infinite shows one can identify longer with the characters.

Reality show is about talent, entertainment. It is sometimes interactive. The average person can participate. So this is closer to home.

Hey there!

Youngsters tend to watch shows online/hotstar rather than watching on the television for various reasons(such as awkwardness in watching romance with parents, Time conflicts), and since finite shows mostly cover logic over drama, young people get attracted towards that more, therefore watching them online rather than on television.

Middle-aged Adults to Old people are used to the television format of the previous years, such as kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi, etc. So they would prefer shows that revolve around their comfort zone rather than shows that crisp and short. And since this age group contains the maximum part of the television audience, the creators would obviously target them, thus exhibiting shows they like(infinte).

Shows usually take time to build a fanbase. Longer(infinite) the shows are, bigger the fanbase. Therefore mostly infinite shows have a larger fanbase than the finite shows. 

After working the entire day (Home or office), people prefer watching shows that are light or dramatic(for some spicein their life), over the logical mind twisting shows.

Another key pointer would be that, the older audience won't be able to comprehend this generation's slang. Sexual content is also minimum in infinite series.
