Audience are to be blamed. Also the industry as a whole.

The same ek makes aweome web shows and tv shows like balh and ajeeb dastan...balh was trp topper but ajeeb? How many even know about that show? Shows keeps stretching (yhm kkb) cause people watch it, no show runners will keep a show running if nobody's watching. There were shows like khichdi sarabhai and sidhrat which were amazing and it took us decades to realize that those were amazing shows. Simply, we are morons and probably that's why we don't have any varities. You pick up any show across any regional, after initial different woman rights story it's same old marriage kids saas etc. There is a show promo going on in star plus, ekyavan, the promo goes like Kon karega isse shadi cause the girl is Tom boyish, as if no other work or life ambition a woman have apart from marriage. So that's the audience tv catering and those who don't want to watch that will forever be disappointed.

I think what we need as viewers and show runner is to cater to different audience and expect ratings accordingly. you can see how shows are a khichdi of all demographic- a young girl to cater to teenagers, a strict mom/dadi for older ladies. Tv don't cater to men cause they think men don't watch tv, bs. If they tweak their content based on men I am sure there will be a lot of change content wise. A huge change is needed and I am glad 3/6 month shows coming with different stories, like entire Sony shows, colors- ishq mein marjawa, etc. Also there should be one award show which is really authentic, which recognize good shows. When they give a bad actor best actor award and a comedy show as most popular just cause powerful PH how can it have credibility? People watch BAFTA, Golden globes and so many other shows cause of credibility, let us have that too.
