UNREAL REALITY TV SHOWS!!!!

[on the epidemic of tv celebrity shows]
They're doing a new show: Celebrity Corpse, where you dig up someone after five years and try to guess who they were.
-- Paul Merton

Television…earlier a luxury, with development became a necessity today, and from necessity it has become an addiction. People mould their lifestyle according to their favorite programs being aired. Kids leave their homework to watch some cartoons, women for their masala saas-bahu serials, and men keep glued to the 24 hours news channel.

However now, people seem to have their fill of these, they have become saturated with the bitter exchange of words (someday might be swords) between the saas and bahu, the over idealistic and single shade characters of Ekta Kapoor and the metamorphosis and modification of news into masala.

So, their taste buds have settled for something new. God know till when will their addictions last!!

Marriages are said to be made in heaven. When did they start being made on TV?

It might have seemed an excellent way to get the TRP’s high but any intellectual fellow will simple switch off the TV rather than watch Rahul Mahajan or Rakhi Sawant selecting their soul mates. On one event I switched off my intellect, switched on the TV, browsed through the channels and settled for Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, and behold, their she was sitting listening to the guys professing their love to her, and she looked equally in love with each one of them. I thought …was that possible?

Just think, what joy would it give to anyone sitting near the TV doing nothing but watching celebrities fight, conspire, gossip or play their dirty politics.

Reality TV shows does everything, ranging from making celebrities dance to their tunes to searching for the perfect bride (perfect in what sense yet remains to be known).

An honest reply to the big question in my mind,” are reality TV shows any better than the usual soaps being aired in India?” and I get the answer NO!!

They are worst, we live with the consolation that the dark shades of characters in the soap are just reel not real but the reality shows shatters our myth, we see the darkest shades of people for real!!
