Old is really Gold…

New Comedy looks at human relations and social current events of the common man while Old Comedy focused on the life a particular family. One of the other big different mode of old time comedy and new time comedy is that now the show is all about promotional events they are totally looking out for the profit and about increasing the TRP of their concern programs.

Today all the comedy serials are running behind to gain more and more TRP values than that of entertaining the audience. And so the mode of quality in today’s comedy based daily soaps is zero if it is compared to the old classic serials of 90’s. Even today if “Hum Paanch” or “Office- Office” it will relate to today’s generation to and the viewers will also be interested in watching those serials once again.

No doubt the concept and the story line of today’s serial is also good but they are always over taken by the crucial interference of the Promotional Activities. One of the main drawbacks of today’s entertainment factor is also the time allotted for the advertisements. If we look in depth then we can easily clear out that the daily soaps are shown only for 15 minutes and remaining 15 minutes is the advertisements. This ration itself says about the limitations of the daily soaps.

As all this directly affect the viewer and the quality of time as an audience is totally lost. So comedy as an art form it have to prevented properly to reach to the audience properly so it’s up to us to decide that are we watching a standard type program on television…?


The generation has changed and everyone is running after one or the other thing and can’t stay alive without the entertaining themselves and all the daily soaps programmers are taking undue advantage of this situation which is indirectly making us to follow the Agenda setting theory.
