My views about Indian Television

first of all i love watching television, really love it.  To me its a way to escape from daily stressful life for few hours, i do not simply do not watch hindi or regional channels, it has to be always American or British TV , call me snob but i don't care Indian Television its simply silly some time while changing channels i get to see glimpse of some series which are on for like forever but that's not an issue really if the series is good it can go on  like in case of Supernatural of CW network in India its comes in AXN but here is the difference in American or British TV they get break between series but in India it goes on without break,  i find it very silly i mean a person needs a break from everything & how you feel to watch same thing for years & when i say same thing i mean its same thing same big houses with same overly dressed people who are either crying over something or getting Married or recent trend is involving Children , few days ago a saw a serial for about 5 minutes where a 11 year old girl got married with a 25-30 years old man, isn't it banned in our society by Law of the constitution , i mean we are still so far behind from rest of the world that all our audience enjoy is this cause those channels show them just because people watch them, right? is our society is so narrow minded that all we enjoy is this, i haven't seen anything else in Indian TV which are different , lets face it here in India we don't have one sci-fi show which we can call its India's very own sci-fi which i love cause that's just perfect to escape the reality , i am not saying we can have Star Trek or stargate or even BBC's Doctor Who made here its simply not possible here either technology or that creative ideas i guess we lack .. but seriously all we can have in Indian TV is a from of Pedophilia OH YES!! a 11 years old girl married to a 30 year old man that's a form of Pedophilia i just wonder why Government 's child & Women welfare department has turned blind eye towards it they were not  when in their language obscenities were shown in Ftv or AXN even BBC has to edit of their sci-fi show Torchwood where two lead male character were lovers & some kissing scenes were edited here cause we Indians won't be able to stomach the idea about two same sex people in love cause simply our society is not that progressed enough where we can grasped the idea of two people can fall in love their gender doesn't matter but i am not going there its just that i found how boring & lack of creative ideas in our Television  & to watch something good we have to turn towards American or british TV be its Sci-fi/ Supernatural or even good Family of Cop drama we don't even have show anywhere near to CSI series.. or a sanctuary of SY-FY USA which BTW showed pretty cool avatar of Hindu goddess Kali.. so yes i  have very cynical view of Indian Television..which in my eyes just not worth it.

  1. You know, as many of your countrymen work in tech services, you'd think SOMEONE would be able to make some scifi. :) I guess that's just different though.
