I gave no interest in Pakistani shows whatsoever and in this post I’m going to tell you just that. Thank you Mirsub for giving me a chance to tell all of you the error of our television industry.
So first off, let’s talk about
the horror that is the morning
show phenomenon. *dhang dhang
dhaaaang*
Not far are the days when
somebody just smashes their heads in the TV because of Nida Yasir’s ‘wedding
week’ or Shaista Wahidi’s take on Supernatural. I mean, morning shows are about
waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee with
your viewers and talking about current affairs and have interesting guests
around. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the last time I saw that happen.
Nobody wants to wake up to an
overdressed woman, with make-up caked on her face screaming into her
microphone, ‘GOOD MORNINGGGG PAKISTAN!’ And neither do they want random women
going crazy about random people dancing about and making fun of the unfortunate
couple that are getting married on their show.
More on that – why would anybody want to get married on TV? I
actually feel sorry for all those guests at the event who look terribly
miserable and extremely bored. They aren’t allowed to talk and all they can do
is stupid people clowning around.
Next come the 2-starred dramas.
Some shows are proud to house
the dramatic background music from Indian dramas and are all for those crazy
cameramen panning their faces with the camera. Like, seriously, I want to watch
something suspenseful and fun but if I have to get dizzy doing it – no thank you.
And not to mention Humsafar. For
once did the maniacs create a drama that was worth the watch – Hum starts
interviewing the cast every other day, selling t-shirts and coffee mugs from
the show.
I like the drama – but not
enough to watch it twice and wear t-shirts with the cast’s faces on them.
And the political talk shows.
I’m sorry, but I thought this was a political show not a ‘I’ll dress up and sit
in front of the camera and you guys can shout’ show.
The host of these talk shows
will act terribly bossy and like she knows it all. And the people on the show
will go arguing and half the time you’ll just be wondering what they’re talking
about.
So, this is me with fingers
crossed that the television industry is on it’s way to improvement!
