It was really boring in some cases. That time was spent watching video tapes of foreign shows! Now, it's watching torrents of foreign shows!<br /><br />I guess some things never change!<br /><br />@The Survivor: Reality teevee is the suckiest thing on television. Besides the news shows, of course. <br /><br />I think originality on Indian teevee died a long time ago!Over Ratedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159322765446103882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731539346686433935.post-47075196392309585312010-10-29T23:14:00.446+05:302010-10-29T23:14:00.446+05:30Its just not the romance part but the content too....Its just not the romance part but the content too. Instead of television moving in a forward/present mode, it has gone into a backward era that we have overcome.<br /><br />The Indian reality tv really sucks.

Just imagine if these shows were not scripted, how WTF would they be? I shudder at the very thought. <br /><br />@Daddy San: At least the WWE doesn't pretend to be real. Everything seems scripted now. From the reality shows to the news channels and their political dogfights! Every reality show can basically be summed up as follows: Human beings are assholes!<br /><br />Having said that, if it wasn't for bit torrent/streaming video, I'd have nothing to watch!Over Ratedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159322765446103882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731539346686433935.post-20013262550562108832010-10-26T06:00:51.876+05:302010-10-26T06:00:51.876+05:30Reality TV today is like my worst nightmare: That ...Reality TV today is like my worst nightmare: That the WWE would one day take over the world and force us to accept staged, mediocre rubbish as the Word.<br /><br />The US scene isn't any better.

This makes it less confusing but more WTF, I think.)<br /><br />Oh and I love that image at the beginning. :DMudrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335649579301791592noreply@blogger.com
