Oh well! This is about the TV serials telecast almost round the clock on various television channels in all languages. A universal issue...There are two sides to this issue...The benefits; hmmm... to the advertisers who shell money to keep you hooked to the idiot box, to the actors who get easy money starring in these never ending serials. The viewer get to see all kinds of emotions on the screen day in and day out till their eyes pop out!
There are certainly many themes- fiction, family, comedy, game show, talk show, movie reviews, film songs, interviews, personality meets, special shows, news digests, debates, etc. the list never ends. There is useful stuff nevertheless interspersed in lots of junk!
There are ratings for movies...censor classification of A, PG, etc grading into different viewership ages based on the violence, sex, gore, subject etc. But I am wondering why there is nothing for these TV serials which stream into our homes all through the day and night without any control/ censoring of any sort? beats me?! Atleast the movies are short and last only for a couple of hours but these serials go on and on. The levels of morals are absymally low in most of their content ..there are only a few exceptions. This could affect/ impact the viewer's psyche -subconsciously!
The solution is for the viewers to use discretion in their choice of programmes and skip watching TV during the time when their children study. Replace some of the TV serial viewing time with book reading, going out for walk, socialising, spending quality time with kids, family or simply enjoy music! The lesser you get addicted to TV serials the better! What do you say?
