Math ANY 1: Star One Channel Heads - BAK 2 SKEWL - Page 2

Bri....wonderful post.


wrong strategy for sure.....probably the reason why Star One has never been leading in the TRP race.....

Bri...I agree this 6 day a week isnt working for anyone...every other day there is an article about some actor or the other blacking out due to fatigue

I so agree with ur post ..the TRP's arent reaching sky high..Thy are just the same..some fluctuations... but its NOT working👎🏼...the actors look so tired, and how can we expect them to give their best?... 

Dear Bri, for a few days I was wondering why there are no posts from you and now I know why you were being a silent reader 😉 . 

I agree Bri. 👍🏼

What have you gained by 6 days a week
- your storylines have gone for a toss
- overworked actors who look tired
- we turn around and some actor or the other is sick
- substandard performances from actors who have been hired for parallel tracks
- your TRPs are not as good as they were in a 5-day week because the public also needs a break

You cannot choose quality over quantity, you will pay a price in the long run.

Go look for good reality shows instead. 😃

I agree 100% with what you have written.  I for one would love to go back to the 5 day schedule, especially if it means that we can go back to getting the IMPACTFUL episodes that we used to get before!!

Good one, bDgt.

Very bad idea....this 6-day business.

I think a lot of us anticipated this disaster way back when.

Forget the actors and the crew...even the sets are looking tired and worn out!

While the other shows in the channel have somehow got around this problem with some good storylines and good actors other  than the leads, who can carry substantial scenes, Geet's cvs and PH are slowly but surely killing the goose that lay the golden egg!

I don't know if the viewers of the other serials would agree with me as I'm not a regular viewer. But I can say this...the one I do watch other than Geet had the main lead missing for over a week and it hardly made a difference (to me, at least) as the rest of the cast carried the show so well.

Geet's problem is that they depend totally and wholly on its lead pair to get eyeballs. The writers and the PH are to be blamed as they didn't allow anyone else to develop.
Now with the 6-day thingy, they thrust unwanted characters at us, ruin the storyline, cut short important scenes of the leads, edit scenes so poorly that one pair takes up 15 minutes of air space while the other take up the remaining 15.....at least this makes it easier on us....we can change the channel after the first or second 15 mins slot  depending on when the lead comes on!

Bottomline: The Cvs/PH created a situation where the audience wants only Maaneet and nothing else....story to revolve around them alone. Unfortunately, they can't even do that properly anymore.
They shift good writers to new shows and replace them with witless ones who come up with equally witless scenarios and pedestrian drama ruining what could have been the best moments in television history.

I could go on but will stop here.

Why don't you post your thread on the Geet FB page?
It might not  wake them up but they might know that not everyone is pleased with what's going on.

Good point raised Bri!
