In 90's there was a lot of progressive show in tv (I haven't watched them heard from ma) they're iconic people still talk about them. So it's not entirely audience fault. Content creator needs to take some responsibility too. But they won't also don't stop preaching. Once sc told her character in gul show was progressive because she was wearing western cloth & salwar kamiz claded. See the though behind the content.😆I know.
But what can PH or creatives do as audience wants the same taste in every show.
But I do think each PH does bring their touches to their shows even if they're old wine in new bottle.
