MUMBAI : While TV will not go out of existence any time soon, the grandiosity of TV shows and stars has definitely gone down. It is a very conflicting position to be in as there are two sides to the same coin. On one side, there are shows that have been on-air for decades, and there are shows that have not lasted even 50 episodes.
In order to keep the audiences that they have gained, some TV shows take leap after leap after leap. While leaps might feel like an old trick in the TV show play book, it is something that TV shows now follow as well.

It’s the same old story, the parents will die, the children will reincarnate with the same face, as seen in Naagin 6, and like we will see in Yeh Hai Chahatein. What doesn’t make sense is how these shows serve the same story on a different platter with a cast.
But these generation leaps don’t help the show flourish; they just give the dying storyline a couple more days to live.
And why would an audience want to watch a storyline that does not help. Generation leaps create a big disconnect that the audience has with the shows and the character.
Reena Sharma says, “In the name of content, we have been getting the same storyline served with a different but similar looking cast.”
Lakshya Ranka says, “TV does not have that same charm anymore. Why should we watch a show that has the same cast playing the role of the mother, sister, and cousin at the same time? They all look the same. TV has just stopped thinking about young audiences and are only catering to the older demographic.”
Ridhi Shukla says, “There is so much content out there, why should one spare time to watch content if the makers don’t work to make it good.”
Isha Trivedi says, “The shows start on a good note, but soon enough, they forget their own plotline and just go haywire. I think that’s why these shows go off-air so soon.”
