@ surish ... Thanks surish!   makes you wonder ... with the improved story line, could LMYAM have survived ... even for a little while longer  ? 

Indi, I feel that it would have survived for a little while longer. There are so many shows with no storyline and keep going for years and years and this I dont think was so bad even in the begining they did show the differences of LM and AM and it was much better than the usual Saas Bahu and torture tormenting dramas. But no use now that it has ended and what difference wil it make thinking if it would have survived or not.

Indi and Pensink

There are so many shows that leaves mush to be desired on Zee tv and yet they are still alive because their characters have so many fans who remain loyal and hopeful regardless of ongoing collapses.

Exactly my point, it is all dependent on viewership and agree with Surish 100%.

Hello friends ... I miss you all so very much ... all the ole talk and discussions too  !  

pensink, surish ... Guys, I so agree with you all ... I have been wandering around the other forums and looking at the shows, both on Sony and Zee, and while the majority of the shows leave a lot to be desired, and even while the viewers continue to  complain vociferously, I notice the trend is that they continue to support the shows for one reason or the other ... most of them because of their favourite actors!  While I'm not saying that we should mindlessly support our favourite actors, I envy those people's attitude and loyalty.. ... at least they get to see their favourites!   

Been trying to find something to look at ... but without Himmanshoo, I can't seem to find anything interesting ... I do look at some of them though, but not with any enthusiasm ... and just intermittently ... I can take them or leave them!   LMYAM, in comparison with the majority of the shows, was far more interesting ... and the added bonus was that we got to watch our Star Himmanshoo ...

Where is Ms jps by the way?   Hope she hasn't gone back to her old habits  ... going off in search of Guddu Shukla  !!!  

Hi jay, are we back to sharing the Gorgeous "G" Man ? 

Yes, I also agree that most of the shows on TV these days leaves much to be desired and indeed are kept alive with high ratings because of their viewership.

What baffles me the most is trying to gauge the mentality of the audience when it comes to a soap!!!!  Whether its a cute face, bad acting, their favorite actor, poor and unimaginable storyline, it still rates high!!! The audience makes or breaks a show!!!! What kind of people watch these shows and don't they ever wish to see a change or something more progressive! Acting skills do not count here!!

That said, I do not watch the Indian channels unless its a comedy show, movie or Crorepati show that Amitabh Bachan hosts!!!

jps ...  I look at Crorepati too ... ... !!!   I too have  actually wondered about the audience who look at the soaps ... and I cannot come up with a logical  answer ... what drives these people ... some of those shows might be suitable for 5-year olds yet they fare so well when it comes to trps!!!   In visiting the forums and reading the comments, one thing I have realised though, if they do like an actor, it doesn't matter if he/she can act or not ... they support them whether the story makes sense or not, whether the actor has a wooden expression for the entire show ... once he has a good looking face or a 6-pack, he's good to go  !!!!
