I too loved the shows we have had in Sony over the past few years, they may been short running but mostly had modernity, charm & some sweetness
we hardly bothered with other ITV channels at our place but since Sony tried to get BT to try & compete with star, zee etc its gone downhill. Its not like they got better TRP even with the rubbish masal
i suspect the homes with trp meters just put on star ir zee & leave it on. And these folk dont bother to even look at Sony
i read Sony is tying up with Zee? That might destroy whats left or who knows.
Star/ utsav is showing KSBKBT again & no brickbats please but its actually quite decently written in parts. Same ingredients as they try to serve up (bad sis in laws, Plotting female villains etc) but the writing, mixing & presentation is better. The side characters are not just furniture they also have stories & lives of their own.
Todays writers do not gave the time, space or ability to make use of their really talented actors & beautiful sets, clclothing & camera work.
its like you had decent cooks passing on their commercial recipes to some random folk off the street, the ingredients are fine but the results are indigestible
