TERENCE U nailed it....!! - Page 4

If anyone has the patience to read this essay, it talks about the credibility of TAM ratings.. I never bothered to check the ratings all these years of watching DID, SRGMP and all, and only went with what I wanted to watch or felt like watching.. I didnt even looked through the threads about ratings of any shows.. Whether others like the same show or not is not my problem. It's all a personal choice after all. By looking at the comments on Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, and here on IF, I had enough reasons to believe that many Terence fans have started following CDD even though they never watched its first season - I understand them that since I am also in the same shoes now!!

Anyway, here's the link to the essay: http://www.gotessays.com/essays/3244/index.php

😛 The point here is not about are Terrence fans watching Chak dhoom....I am sure they are watching......the point is about how some people tend to exaggerate the fan following of their favorties......If Terrence fan base is so huge then wouldn't that naturally lift the ratings of Chak Dhoom over the ratings of all Dance shows? Or are we to believe now that the ratings are biased against only Chak Dhoom? 😛 I am a Geeta fan, but if she were to leave the show tomorrow, the ratings would not suffer just like the ratings didn't suffer when Terrence and Remo left.......Most people watch these shows because of the contestants, not to worship a particular mentor blindly......😊

ankit I think u urself put it in ur mind that people watch this show only for TL and Remo...when ppl say they do miss TL and Remo its cos they have been part of the family when it started and their names are easily associated with it...its always good to see Remo, Tl and Geeta on the judges chair...after watching DID doubles I still wudn't trade any three of them for any other judges...I think u urself brought up the trp ratings to prove that DID is not missing TL and Remo...but the ppl who post here want to say that they are missing TL and Remo...whether DId can do well without them or not is a different issue..but these two choreographers alongwith Geeta Maa had a lot to do with how DID has turned out to be...If DID 1 had so so performances I don't think it wud have fared well...their choreographies and input made what DID is today.....its like a brand name now...even if the management changes we still buy that stuff cos of the brand name...unless and until the managements really mess things up...hope u get the point...

Well first to clear the misconception.Ankit didnt make that post for DID 1 or 2 ratings i did.And secondly i did that not to prove that the show doesn't miss terrence and remo.I did that only because i found few members not appreciating that DID doubles is also doing well TRP wise and saying that the ratings have taken a huge beating because of terrence and remo.Members can miss terrence and remo and even say that on this forum.I miss them too.But saying that i miss terrence and remo and saying that the ratings of this show is on a decline because terrence and remo have left are two different things.One is an opinion and other is a fact .No one is trying to change any ones opinion but facts can be corrected.And you are right Terrence,remo and geeta made DID what it is today no doubt in that but Rajeev,Marzi and geeta are maintaining that level so they should be appreciated for that.

@bold -- you tell me!!! We have been seeing some fanatic fans like that here for D who keeps bringing D into every single thread and post, even if D is on, outside, inside, or behind the show or screen!! Just one person is thus capable of exaggerating his fan following into millions through the non-stop posts!! Looks like his fan base has been outsourced to the US!!! 😆

You still dont get the Math right!! Just because many Terence fans have started watching CDD, that doesnt mean they stopped watching DID-D!! Since the two shows dont conflict with the air time, most of them watch both shows! So how can the ratings of the two be compared? And since most of us continue to watch DID, how will the ratings of DID suffer?? Yes most of us watch the show because of its concept and quality, not to blindly worship a contestant turned mentor!! All I tried to say all the time, and still trying one last time, is that CDD ratings would have improved from its first season, when it was a flop show in season one. DID-D is the 4th season of a hit show, and yet when its ratings drop, that tells a different story!!

Well please explain how ratings from 2.68 to 3.87 is a decline in ratings.Dont understand that.And its very good that you still havent left watching the show because it means that dance is more important for you than some mentor.Which is great.And max people havent stopped watching DID because the mentors and dances are excellent this time too like always.But i dont agree that CDD and DID dont have the same air time.For half an hour they do have the same air time in which people prefer to watch DID over CDD.

That's only one week, I was talking about in general.. Compared to the expectations, the ratings didnt match, at least in my view. That's why I said I dont believe those numbers blindly, and the ratings dont matter to me when it comes to the shows I like to watch. Yes, I prefer dance over anything, same way I love music and so keep watching SRGMP regardless of the mentors, and would be doing the same for II show too. I havent watched CDD before and the reason I started watching it is Terence, just to know what kind of show it is. Same reason why I watched Nachle Ve show last year. But then it's my personal choice.

I dont know about the air times in all places. Where I reside, DID shows at 6:00 pm and CDD shows at 8:00 pm, on Fridays and Saturdays. So I assumed it would be like that in most places.. Since I have a DVR, I wuold record one show if there's a conflict, or wait to watch the repeat of the show I missed. I watch shows from my region too, so I have to juggle between them like that anyway..

Well there is not much difference between ratings for DID season 2 and DID doubles.If you have checked my link you would know.But then again you refuse to still believe that these ratings are correct and would rather believe in your own personal view about the ratings .Then there is nothing i can say.To each his own.And in India the airtime for CDD and DID is almost the same only half an hour difference.Maybe that's why CDD has such low ratings as people prefer to watch DID.I am sure if it would have been in a different slot and not competing with DID directly ratings would be much higher.
