With tv channels emerging more faster than rabbits breed, having the freedom of expression and freedom of speech , media has never been so vocal as it is now.
We now have all sorts of tv channels from drama to news to entertainment to regional languages.
One thing that is really annoying are TIME CHECKS.
Its 8 am , its 8.15 am, its 8.16. am ....
We may not be the most time abiding nation, where time has no importance, where nothing is on time except the 9 o clock news on ptv, its annoying to see a TIME CHECK, in most cases, every 15 minutes which is some how always sponsored and or branded.
To me time check is nothing but another way to make money. Most of them already display time on their screen, and if I had to be so much aware of the time I wouldnt be watching the television then.
We never see time checks on any Indian or arabic or any other channels so why do we have to have time check on ours ?
Another thing that WE note is comedy is going no where. What comedy that we now see is only expressional/acted and not verbal / dialogue. The character tends to do all sort of unsorted actions and the studio laughter reminds us that this is something to laugh. I dont want to see some thing good to laugh , I want to hear some thing good.
The only jokes we hear are in the talk shows and current affairs programme, specially if some politician is invited.
With all sorts of channels now coming up, I think that there should be a comedy channel too , which should serve quality comedy and not nonsense acting comedy.
Talking of tv channels, the latest addition was the channel AAG.
One of their promo or public service message is "do not forget your roots" - easier said than done -
a few of the programmes containig BEEP words ....may be not forgetting our roots, but stretching out so much that we will finally fall off from our tree ?
