New TV Days... Cable/Satelite TV

(continued from last time, click here & read this first...)

Then came the first Hindi satellite channel "ZEE TV" which was broadcasted only at prime-time and rest of the day you could see a big Zee logo on the TV with random songs. The new favorites were Zee horror show, Snakes & Ladders and some others (which I don't remember). And with this the cable TV started creeping on us with Sony & Star coming in picture as well. Although I remember a certain time when DD2 again was becoming popular with an array of new shows like Dushman, Kabhi Sautan Kabhi Saheli, Superstars & many others but it didn't last long. Also the quality of shows on DD has highly deteriorated and most of them are not even worth considering. But all we see on Cable/Satellite channels now is some boring/stupid TV Serials and Reality-Shows/Talent-Hunts. All we see is people dancing, singing, comedy & other arts and most of the time its those serial actors competing & forgotten actors/celebs judging the shows. The results of these shows are mostly disappointing most of the public, inspite of the fact its claimed that they are selected by public voting. Like Baichung Bhutia won Jahalak Dikhla Ja-3 whereas I thought that either Gauhar Khan or Hard Kaur should have been the winner. Or Salman Khan won Dance India Dance who didn't do anything more than circus & acrobatics; but Jai, Siddhesh or Alisha deserved it better. The worst was the show Pehchaan Kaun where the worst copycat Rajat Bahagt who used to mimic Salman in Asrani style won, whereas Raja Sagoo who was not only doing Salman act well but many others, lost. Then There's MTV & Channel V kinda youth channel's which show Roadies & V-Gyan kinda shows which aren't bad but, I am not sure if they are good for young kids. Our parents used to stop us from watching those DD stuff but imagine the kids watching what all they show on TV these days!!
So friends & foes... keep reading, commenting and promoting. What do you think about days of TV now & then? Wanna share any memories?? Waiting to hear from you... This is RAHUL saying Good Bye & Good Luck... JAI HO!!!!!
