13 Days to go! Shows that were successful in having audiences fancy in 2013
"The value of happiness increases by a great magnitude when you have someone to share it with"
The statement holds truth even in relation to our Television Industry. When your favorite shows move along with you and tastes the grapevine of success with your love and support a mutual sense of happiness is prevailed over the Show, its cast, its creator, its channel etc. and in turn they strive to give their best, as a note of thanks to its audiences.
We saw shows that have stolen your heart as soon as they covered the screen across the year in our post day before yesterday. Yesterday was about the shows that could not survive the year and today's journey down the memory lane goes a little beyond 2013 as We Proudly present you shows that have continued stealing your heart this year as well.
They happily celebrated the coming of 2013 with us and now they also have the privilege to celebrate the going of 2013 and coming of 2014.
"Ek Teer se Do Nishane," well this post today is doing the same for us. But instead of this Arrow solving our two purposes, the arrow proves to be multitasking. Well How???? Simple
- The post happily serves a great addition to our countdown post for the year 2013
- The post blissfully points out the show that have been loved by our audiences over the year
- The post contentedly becomes a note of thanks form the shows side to the audience for their love, support, faith and loyalty towards them
- The Post gleefully becomes a word of appreciation from the audience towards the show for constantly entertaining them over the years.
- The post also gives us a chance of remember that yes!!!' it has been such a long time that the cast and crew of the show have become a part of our family through the television screens.
Well!!! My the arrow is a busy arrow I must say, so to ease a little burden from its shoulder let's start off with our countdown post for the day. Now since all these shows have been your most favorite for a while, we are quite sure that you can count them on your finger tips.. but we would definitely not want you to trouble you fingers, just trouble your eyes to read on the list that we have laid down for you.

Undoubtedly, winning hearts is a super tedious job... but winning them and retaining them for the longest of time a Job that requires "21 toppo ki salami." All of the above shows undeniably have captured the audiences Heart, Mind and Time Slot.
If you have studied the table then it would come as no shock that some of the shows have survived till 5 years!!!!! Amazingly all these shows are still running strong and we might not be shocked if they complete a very happy decade. Keeping our fingers crossed for these shows. From Rib Tickling Comedy show like Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashmah to almost every other day crying/distress/in troubled lead shows like Uttaran, Balika Vadhu and Pavitra Rishta.
While I would particularly like to mention one show that has somehow broken away all clich of normal long running shows... yup I am talking about Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,' with no apparent villain that is after their life, no extra marital or the Blah and blah. Not nearly as cleaned chited Saath Nibhana Saathiya has been on this road with fun filled episode and light hearted tensions, that were eventually solved.
Shows that took off with super intense/different/unique story telling like Diya aur Baati Hum; which revolved around a basic concept and even touching it for half of its run. Then there is Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, the show was bang on its basic concept since the start. But have had lots of twist and turn only to return back one or the other way.
We cannot forget all time favorite themes of a super hit show.. "Love Stories", although each one is told in a different manner, under different circumstances and different approach at bade they are and will remain Love Stories like Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha Pyara Pyara, Qubool Hai andMadhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon.
On one hand there is a mythological show on our card with Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev, that caters to every age... we also have Dil Dosti Dance, The Buddy Project and Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke that cater the young thought process of Teen Generation.
So, if you have really noticed our table, you might have understood that a variety of shows that have had a variety of varied audiences have managed to win and conquer their hearts for so long. Congratulations to one and all is positively in order.
In Hopes that most of them will survive the 2014 year and will join us back in our 2014 welcoming countdown... we sign off right now to prepare and bring tomorrow post of our countdown... See you guys tomorrow, till then Keep Watching, Keep Enjoying and Keep Reading!!! And yup don't forget to send across your Views, Reviews, Suggestions and Remarks.
