A Little too LATE in reinventing?

Hello People!

I used to watch DMG, after school sometimes at uni, just because it was the only Indian channel we could get.

So I am not a big fan, but if you have ever read any of my other posts you might already know that.

So I stopped watching DMG God knows how long ago (so no, I can't give an update on any episode and probably wont know what your talking about if you mention episodes from the past 3 months.)

So I started watching again after the forums and I-F blew up with Shilpa craze when she came back.

I decided hey, why not??

Problem: I think DMG has drained me so much, I still cannot get in to this show, despite the new character of Shilpa Anand being there.

Maybe I wanted something new?

But I cannot stand the old, want-to-be, loud scenes of DMG, the formula no longer works, and I don't care if a new character is there- it just is draining.!

I have always thought this about DMG and most Indian shows (sorry to say) but loud comedy doesn't cut. Silly, childish jokes which lack originality are just, well sorry to say, annoying!

The actors seem to be constantly yelling, or rolling their eyes (and we are meant to think that is funny?), it's a waste of talent and frankly a waste of my half hour, when I decided to rewatch this show again.

Give me back my half hour.

DISCLAIMER: THIS ISN'T BASHING ANY CHARACTER, BUT THE SHOW FORMAT ITSELF, IF YOU ACTUALLY AGREE THEN POST! DON'T JUST AGREE BECAUSE YOU CANT STAND THE KASH JODI.

I agree- those loud/ childish days of DMG have long been over- and frankly i don't want that back. DMG has matured... umm i say "matured" but what i mean is that it's become a bit more... "quiet" if that's the word?. What with the actress/ character changes already it's not what it used to be before and with the current storyline it definitely doesn't fit anymore! There's nothing fresh and the newness is just coming being recyled from past epis. I want something really "new" and "fresh" not the been-there-done-that rolling eyes, silly jokes stuff that we're being subjected to before. Don't get me wrong i loved it when the show started but please Creatives not now!

Yes, I agree with you! By mature I hope you mean, mind-boggling, physically draining piece of television 😆.
Seriously this show is over, I mean I am sorry to say, but now I feel that everyone is over acting, does anyone even act like that in real life?!
Ah well, back to watching Criminal Minds, my new obsession <3

Lol, trust me, every post I make I get rooted out for. Because I just want more realistic, original tv?
Neways, your right, I don't mind and I wasn't bashing any character, just the shows format itself.
In the end, its the net and i never take anything too seriously.

I agree
the show has lost the CONNECT which it had with us
its over the top not few times but MOST of the times
No one dislikes comedy or light hearted fun
But to make all emotions vanish in the garb of having masti that makes us cringe is seriously annoying
i love the show for what it was and hope it mends soon

When people say 'dont like, dont watch', its you have to understand for people who once used to like this show, its kind of sad to see it in the gutter.
I am just generally suggesting, because as I stated it was the only channel I got in terms of Indian tv and that was the time I usually came back from the Lib, so sorry if i wanted to watch something better? because i do enjoy the occasional indian dramas.

i knw bbe. But i see there are others who really loved the episode, and by one person saying something, it really offends them.
Of course i agree that the epsiode could have done better if i say so myself, but there were bits in that epsiode which was just amazingly done.
I loved this show once, it was my life, seriously. N i've watched it go down the drain with my own two eye, and i pray that the cv's can see wat they've done to the show and get it up where it used to before.
Unfortunately the cv's can't please everyone, some won't like it and some will.

Lol something like that:P
But yeah the show needs to sort itself out properly- not by bringing in new characters and kicking out the old whenever it feels like but by seriously sitting down and working out a good, proper script which makes sense!
