Has MJHT jumped the shark?

I seek the protection of most merciful and all powerful God, as I write this with a lot of trepidation, not because I fear ostracism but because I might offend and or hurt people. My intention is honesty and if in its attainment, I hurt people, I will be very upset, so please, please, please forgive me and additionally in reciprocation please feel free to comment as openly as you wish.

I love how on the MJHT forum, people of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds come together in their love of MJHT, unity is a good and noble thing and we should hold onto to it as tightly as possible. I love MJHT, and still do, how can I hate something that has brought me hours of pleasure and joy? What is the worth of one moment of happiness? I wish all the cast and crew of MJHT a million times more precious moments for each that they have given me.

I was going to write this before the eve teasing track began but lo and behold, the track brought back a certain spirit and a new endearing form that I thought I saw a glimmer of hope of a bright and new chapter. Alas, it was not to be. I do not mind for it was not mine to call my own but it does leave me feeling sad and on the verge of alienation from my beloved, and I regret that I must ask…

Has MJHT jumped the shark? (as they say in tv lingo) or to put it another way, has it gone the way of DMG, Uttaran, X-files or Bones pretty much every other tv show that has ever been aired? (I ask you, has there ever been a show that didn't completely lose the plot? I could mention a few dramas, the Korean 'My girl' or Japanese Nobota wo produce but these were several episodes only, I mean serials that run over a long time span or years.) Please prove me wrong for I do not wish to say that with tv show serials it is only inevitable that they fall apart, please find me one example so that I might find hope.

If you agree, then I advise you to read Rinky's post 'Old MJHT is back…hurray…' it is hilarious and helped heal some grief of mine.

If not, then I am truly happy for you and I hope that the creatives take on some of the suggestion in the creative thread, especially AnjanaToronto's suggestions of a inter college debate or bauji's challenge with Mayank or even Sajanian's hopes and aspirations for their Sajan.

For me, I stand upon a precipice unable to stand tall and unable to fall. I cannot let my love go, for it is beloved to me, but alas as I look before me, I see that my beloved has turned its back upon me.

"Don't worry everything is going to be all right, you just have to have…

…a little faith."

Wow 172 views and no replies. Thanks to those who viewed and had the courage and stamina to read through and a special thanks to those who hit the 'like' button.

I am glad to see that MJHT is still well with you all and I truly hope that it keeps giving you more joy, for me there is nothing left to do except go back to the beginning...
"...Hum Yahan, Tum Yahan, Dil Jawan, Woh Samaa Lekin Kahan, Shuru Shuru Ke Pyaar
Phir Se Chalo, Churayein Dil Yaar Ka..."


I am not complaining, you can't do that in real life.

Take care and wishing you peace and good hearts.

i dont think so....i think theres potential to show so much more...and yes, at times, the show falters but thats normal......i still get entertained by this show though i watch it for nupur and mayank only....i have faith in it.....and if mjht fans didnt have even the tiniest bit of faith in it, it wouldnt still have so many viewers and it wouldnt be the number 1 show on star one :)......naina

@ sumonetolub

Thanks for replying.

Yes, I see that MJHT still has many viewers that are entertained by it greatly, and I am happy for that, Truly, at least for the sake of the actors and production crew.

In real life, it is not a person's wealth, health nor good looks or fame that endear me towards them, it is their good character and strength of conviction in their life's principles AND so it is with 'reel' life characters too. So when these characters are shown behaving against their 'natural' good traits, it begins to hurt me. Just as if I saw a person in real life begin to unravel, I would want to help them return to normality and good form, remind them of what they once were aspiring to achieve.

This is my main problem at the moment, I cannot see the goal that MJHT is moving towards like I once could. Maybe I should just view it as 'entertainment' but it is hard for me to do so as one upon a time it was so much more for me, it was 'inspiration'!

Regardless, I am truly happy for you, and sincerely hope that MJHT continues to entertain you.

God bless you.

@samratrocks

Aww, thank you for trying to cheer me up. I'm OK, honestly, maybe just a bit of a Drama Queen rhona dona and all that. I can't help it, i always get my heart involved. Silly girl!

Side point, you are right Samrat does Rock! you do remember the chilli eating contest. I fell for him, right there, that moment!!!

It is not the story lines that I cannot bear, it is the changes in the characters personalities, principles, actions and thoughts. I fear that if they continue along this path they will become unrecognizable. Just as in real life, cannot watch as people I love and I am endeared towards become undone.

nice post little faith..
and i agree with.. every show has its own running time... things just get repetitive after that, the characters change in unrealistic ways.. particularly if its a drama...

As of mjht i think it has started to go in extremes.. either complete tear packed melodrama or mind numbing comedy. ofcourse it can still go on for some thing toggling between the two extremes of emotions... it is defiantly not what it used to be...

firstly noce post...in the past MJHT has GONE WAY out of track...mayur getting married etc etc......but not as bad as other shows....eg uttran....which was supoosed to be about an underprivialged girl,is now about a love traingle....dill mill gaye which was about doctors which now is about family drama.....MJHT has much more scope as compared to other shows that they havent expoited....the magnitide of MJHT going of track is much less compared to the other shows....but it still has!

Thanks for replying everyone, I love interacting with people, different views, opinions even love disagreements, for without healthy debate how can there be truthful

@Bronze. Side note, one of my favourite quotes " he wouldn't last one round with tweety pie" I use is quite a lot, especially these days with people and their artificial muscles, all form no substance. Seriously they have all these biceps and triceps only to cry like babies after the slightest bump!😆

I think people find it really hard to let things go, especially 'first loves'. I too think that MJHT should be given some dignity and a deserving send off instead of dragging it into the gutter. Then again they say '"we are all standing in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars!" What they don't realise is that the sky they are looking at is suffering from light pollution. Have you ever seen the sky at night without any light pollution? There are no words to describe it. AND this is my point. If you understood it!😉

@Shruti nil. I don't mind things going off track nor even unbelievable story lines, this is all forgivable, what I cannot stand is when characters are portrayed to the point of being unrecognizable. Personally I blame it all on recession, after Aunty Shilpa left, Mayank (the voice of reason) stopped being well, Mayu!

call me neetu,

are you by any chance an literature student or enthusiast? like your expressions.. :)

coming to mjht, i too would ve loved to see it end when it is still at the top... go in style...

Like they say for seinfeld, they ended it in season 9 when it was at its peak..

But, i see lot of ppl still enjoy the show.. so took up ostrich policy... what i dont see doesnt hurt me :)
