Shumi, it was actually their 'attempt' at Scrubs.....which btw is one my ALL TIME FAVS! Dr. Cox rocks!.....DC, OC and Gossip Girl are all miles above DMG.

And I'm not saying this just cuz of the lack of even a basic storyline....the production values are terrible....they literally copy/paste and repeat their OWN episodes from a year back😕😆

Yeah, Anu...Scrubs was awesome! I loved Dr. Cox too! I just didn't want to compare it to DMG...😆 LOL, I would never want to compare it to DMG either...it would be a travesty😉😆.....I'm just saying that is what they were TRYING to do....the producers and actors all said that in the early days of the show....what it became later on, words can't explain😆

DC was quite good, actually...I shouldn't have compared it to DMG ....but I don't have much respect for The O.C. - some bad memories are attached to this show...LOL I think I know what you mean....the O.C. got pretty stupid after a while too....I only regularly watched the first two seasons...those were great! And D.C. got pretty twisted after a while too😕

But I meant these shows - all teen shows - they are not considered to be 'award worthy' shows in America...hence they are never nominated for the Emmys or any other awards....this doesn't mean that they are bad shows, just not up to the standard of the more heavy duty dramas...the Sopranos, CSI, etc. Oh yeah, that I totally agree with....these are just different categories....but Shumi yaar, even sticking to their own niche, these teen soaps STILL have better production values and storylines than DMG....that is what I was trying to say.

I agree Dil Mil Gaye has horrible production values, but I don't see how Gossip Girl, OC, or DC are better. Nate jumps from girl to girl. Marissa shoots someone (sorry if anyone got spoiled), and Joey makes a snap decision randomly in the end to go to Pacey. There's nothing "thinking" about those shows either, and are specifically manipulative for major cliffhangers as people hook up randomly with others. Nothing crtically acclaimable about that either.

Oh, I hope that I don't come of elitist either, and I don't think you are necessarily because as you said you aren't going in DMG's forum and bashing it. And I agree the Filmfare awards are a joke as well, being held in Yash Chopra's production studios. Everything is based on opinion, and you are fully able to have your own. I guess, that while I love Bidaai, and am really excited for it, I can't see the ripping apart of another popular Indian show when I don't find one to be incredibly better then the other one.

And I never said there was anything 'thinking' about the O.C., D.C either😕😆.....Like I just said to Shumi in the post above, I can see that these American teen soaps are a different category from the more acclaimed dramas like The Sopranos, CSI etc.....but despite the fact that they twist their storylines in pretty crazy manners with all the characters hopping b/w bed partners in the blink of an eye or other things, none of it can compare to the route of buffonery that DMG has taken.....with hardly a single moment of rationality or dignity for any of it's characters....that is why I feel the D.C, Scrubs, O.C. etc are better cuz the characters in them are better rounded.

To go with Scrubs in particular, which was the actual inspiration for DMG, they have all this quirky comedy in the show, and yet when they have their moments of sobreity, those are beautifully interwoven. It was only past the 5th or 6th season that the show started getting inane. DMG hardly managed to maintain 6 months of it😕😆

@asingla: Well yes, in general, American shows have better production values and more variety in storylines.....though they are not all perfect...they have their moments of dragging and nonsense as well....like how Lost got so twisted later on and how Heroes is dragging right now....ughhh...LOL

I think Indian shows do have the potential to depict family bonding and relationships well since that is a big part of the culture....but then, as a ppl in general, Indians are prone to a lot of drama, which invariably reflects in art forms like movies and TV shows as well.....the 'masala' that is uniquely Indian....LOL

In general though, I would also like to see more variety being attempted on Indian TV....more of the classier mystery/thriller show variety and something more than just slapstick inane comedy....
