Should Indian TV introduce seasonal show?? - Page 3

And Coronation Street has been running since the 1960's and they can still find storylines that keep the audience coming back. Something is missing here.

Seems it's all about the network and not the audience . For me personally Zee TV don't exist . I'm better of watching the Disney Channel ..

Seasons are a great concept and the need of the hour. 24 has set the trend and i'm sure others will follow, but not so soon.

Most of the TV viewing is done by housewives, who still prefer heroes to be mama's boys and heroines to the haanji bahus. Take all the top 10 serials, and you will find the same pattern there.The TRP audience don't appreciate acting, writing, screenplay, direction. If they did, 24 should have had higher TRPs.

Serials like QH and 24, if you will see, most of the audience are youth, college going.

There was a time when serials like Buniyaad and Hum log ran for years, but they had a story to tell and it was told beautifully. Now, there is no story, only tracks, to extend the life of the serial.

the main reason I was addicted to QH, apart from asya, was it had a story to tell. When they started with one track after another, it lost some of its sheen. Hopefully, they will end it properly and come back with season 2.

Agree ! Don't know about the other shows mentioned but QH hit the jackpot by winning the audience first
The show would have surely been an epic if ego did not come to play by the contract holders . I keep asking myself how are they still in business ! Seriously .. In the US that network would have already been auctioned off to the highest bidder and already became a gold mine .

yes and that's amazing! they celebrated 40th anni this year right?

it's a nice soap, I use to watch it when I was in middle school and high school... but when I got to uni, I didnt have time for tv so I lost touch with Y&R :(

It's easy to pick up because the main characters never changed .. After two episodes you're back in tract. .

I agree!!

agreed. why is it that the main actors in American TV shows rarely quit or have to take a break? it's only because they are given the break and almost everyone who is a part of te show gets time to relax a little. in Indian dramas everyone has to work hard 24/7 and if they wish to take a break then the show gets badly affected. I strongly support seasons. it would have definitely prevented some amazing shows with potential from ending because the CVs ran out of creative tracks

I completely agree with u ... By this means everyone will be happy - channel, PH, actors , audience - fans
