I think my family represents the whole situation pretty well.
My parents watched until they realised there was going to be no real redemption or apology. My dad's exact words were "Is he even a man? What is he DOING?" and so now they've actually deleted Iss Pyaar from Sky+. They don't even care about it enough to catch up and they don't ask me about what's happening either. They heard 'raksha bandhan' and were like "Okay, that's enough. I don't care."
They only watch Pyaar Ka Dard now.
On the complete opposite end of the scale is my brother who would normally never watch a show like this, but from the Farak Padta Hai track through to the Terrace Hug (i.e. when the show truly was on top of the charts)... he would sometimes come in and sit in on a few episodes with us. e.g. Teri Meri etc. He stopped watching when the rona dhona started... but my point is this:
There are things that work and things that don't. I don't know why the people behind the show INSIST on persisting with things that OBVIOUSLY don't when there are so many things which WOULD work and would've allowed TRPs to SOAR at this time... It's a total situation of you can lead the horse to water, but you certainly can't force it to drink.
