Nope, not Karan Wahi, I'm afraid. "Killer Weekends." Sorry 😳
Remember a time (in 2007) where you couldn't wait for the weekend to be over, so that you could glue yourself to the TV for 30 minutes?
Remember a time when Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent thinking about what might happen?
Remember a time when the promos helped you get through those weekends?
I do.
Most people (I think) will agree with me that those "Killer Weekends" aren't so frequent now, if they occur at all. But whenever we consider this, we usually end up with the answer that 'DMG has lost its charm because of CV.' Well, perhaps that is the case to some extent. But is that the only thing that denies us those killer weekends?
I don't think so.
I think part of the charm, that gave us those weekends, was the fact that it was a brand new show, and one of the first of era of youth-based shows. This charm has worn of, not only because of the twists in the track, but also because, quite simply, it's been 3 years. DMG is no longer a novelty; just like with most things, the novelty does wear off...and DMG's time has come. Adding to that is the fact that other youth based shows have been introduced, e.g. MJHT, so DMG is no longer unique in it's original concept.
Another possible factor may be that back then, we couldn't predict the coming episodes, because we didn't know CV's style. But, by now, we can usually predict certain aspects of the coming track/episode...so there's no longer a sense of "I wonder what'll happen."
I'm not saying we're wrong when we say that 'DMG has lost it's charm.' I'm saying that perhaps it's just the natural course of a show. And that even without these twists and conflicting jodis, we may have ended up saying the same thing. Even without the break ups and make ups, we may not have had those initial killer weekends.
NOTE: This post was not to hurt anyone, it was just my take on DMG's charm and 'Killer Weekends.' 😊
