This and That

Wonderfull day..I was surprised to see numerous reality shows on TV today. What the F***. Some with 5-6 contestant with their Girlfriends or wife and a Baby, There is another one with rich kids in Mumbai Slums and apart from many others there is , the father of all reality shows as it is called with  13 contestents in a house with no outside movement or contact.

These Reality shows when started came with slogan of a Rennaisance .Boring TV was to be transformed to the playground of Entertainment, overnight. When it all started with KBC I, it was like a soothing Breeze.I remember sticking to the KBC just to watch Amitabh Bachchan on TV. Days of Ramayan and Mahabharat on our Doordarshan were back on TV. But after the Saas-Bahu episodes creeped in, a large segement of regular TV fonders ( including me ) moved out of all this mess and chaos. There are hundered of programs, Shows , Serials  but none where you enjoy. You surf and surf from one channel to another and then throw away the Remote on the bed , Shut down the system and move out.The same Bore , again and again.

Coming back to the reality shows, They have become center of awkwardnes,filthyness, Skin Show, Loose talks and everything which  was a strict No, No on TV. I dont know whether there is a Censor for TV programmes  or not, like they have for Films which grades the movies as U,,UA, A. If not there should be one and the programmes should be graded before they start.

We grew up. watching Doordarshan. Movie only on Sunday  after Vikram Aur Baitaal and Spiderman. Old Movies and we would stick  to the B&W EC TV just to see if there is any thrills and action showing on the screen during casting or not. Once when we saw it, we were so excited. The days started early.Rangoli started little later, but Yes, there was HeMan, Antarikksha, Star Trek, Rajni and then the News for the Hearing Impaired followed by the Regional Movie.

There were no options available and eveyone was happy, Now hell lot of options without any Joy

Now,What you consider the Best... THIS or THAT. Just have a thought.......
