Blog: I Hate to Watch

Cable TV what to see what not to see. The last thing you do is just throw the remote control down somewhere. The reason? There is nothing to watch or lots of things to watch on the same time. Don’t worry with 24 hours of TV things get repeated over the same time. Believe me because I have seen Geoffrey Boycott discussing Nathan Astle 222 against England four times.(This double happens to be the fastest double in test match history). Well not all of u have time watching television like I do!!
Here are some of serials which are a NO-NO for me
The “K” series!! Man they have turned epic. People gave up on Mahabharat and Ramayan after a point of time. But fans of these serials defy all sense of my understanding. But if people do watch it, then they might be good. But I think its b’coz they have nothing else to see!!
The reasons I hate the “K” series. There spelling is a biggest turn away. If spelling would to wonders then Tussharr Kappoorr would have beaten Shabana Azmi for most National Awards in a single year. The list is long and the blog is short. If acting is a tough job then seeing these “starrs” in cinema is a tougher job. Moreover one has to pay for doing so.
Anyways coming back to reasons for which one has to prefer keeping the television remote away between 9 to 11 on weekdays. There some of striking things which you see and find it harder to digest than neat drinks. The list as follows:-
When did you wear your black suit last? On the farewell or a wedding in winters. Lesson from “K” series winters or summers Suits are in Jeans and T-shirts are out.
You are bald try some wig with streaks, from Dada or Amma all have weirdo get ups.
Stop yelling!! If u want to call some one (that includes your watch man) You need to ring his mobile. Landlines are obsolete. This is perhaps the timeline of these serials are so big that landlines will be obsolete by the time these finish.
These serials are big boon with people in following professions the cops, the lawyers, the psychologists/analysts, maternity doctors, ad off course skin specialists. Make over or get-over I prefer calling it hangovers!!
Saris well, if KKKKSSSuumm (Kusum for earthly souls) or Jassi is seen running in a heavy Banarsi Sari and diamond necklace don’t worry she has come down to take part in Mumbai Marathon. Try doing that!!
These serials are good for cosmetics industry as well. A report suggest that they turns around fortunes of a cosmetic company which had filed for bankruptcy.
As for affairs the bigger the family more lewd are the affairs. If you are married you did so b’coz of well….Whose having affairs with who? Stay away from affairs; because if they don’t kill you ; HIV will!! (Well at-least there is a social message in this and that too in public interest).
News Channels. God what news. I am sure God will stop ponder over his marvels if he is sees’ on of the news channel. The last one which I heard on the news channel was after London Bomb blasts
News Reader “whats the scene like in London is ther any Panic?” No man people are busy celebrating there bid for Olympics. There is fun all round who care for Bombs u crazy?
The most weird one was last December aftert the Tsunami a lady had lost her all and the reporter asked how are you feeling? Buddy she had not won a lottery!!
Things like crime patrol and dial 100 and what not please.!!
Ever seen that TVC ahhhh!!! God Save my soul. The less said the better.
What about Night party shows? Page 3 Parties? Go fish!! What about Talk shows?Koffe (k)with Karan?Kosmic chat. Would (s)he look good in a sari or mini as well? (S)he is credited for finished 200 gms of powder in one show. His/… monthly expenditure is more than top heroines in India (that includes serials and films). His/… killing thumkas and that cat walk would give top models a shame. Panzee/Barry Saala. Mard Bun, be a Man Yaar!!
Political chat shows? Funda is simple get two strong speaker who are against the one who supports the view? Who wins? Off-course the channel!!
Game shows? Last gareat game show was “The Crystal Maze”. It use to feature in days when Star Plus was an English Channel. It was followed off-course by “Kaun Banega Crorepati?” (Salute to two legends Amitabh Bachchan and Siddarth Basu)
Reality TV? Indian idol?and what not. So plastic .I got no words to actually describe them.
I wonder if there are some good cookery shows around (Remember Yan Can cook?)
Well as for serials I love to watch would be any genuine comedy show
The Great Indian Comedy show is good so is The Laughter Challenge.
Any feature show on BBC is good, Top Gear, Talking Movies, Click Online, Mastermind India.
Any show of Sab TV is good ( Sajid Khan may not believe but I am his fan “Kehne mein Kya Harz Hai?”)
Off-Course Bakra!! Cyrus well no one challenges him with a mic in his hands.
Do you follow Apprentice? (Star World) Hosted by Donald Trump. He is a billionaire under rags-to-riches category. The show is good.
Alas no good detective serials them seem to have faded in some where? Remember Byomkesh Bakshi, Reporter, Tehkekat?
I personally think I watch TV for Ads and Promos these days. They are really good. Seen one of Titan Fastrack? (Yes Sir!!). Airtel Ads are good as well. Latest Ad of a chocolate with caramel? Stay tuned for “Trivia” which will be a series blogs for people want to test some wits of theirs. It will be my dedication to all those who have keen sense of knowing things about their surround. It will aso have some smart Quotes and Facts.
