Men and Megaserials

If you are from India.. then you probably know what i am talking about here. For the rest of the world Megaserials as TV shows that are on the air for the past 5 years and show the prospects of being in air for the next 15 years. It starts of with a single story line.. proceeds at some point to branch out and spread its foliage.. and something something happens and then the serial reaches its end with a big budget closing ceremony.

Its widely accepted the housewives are the lone audience for these megaserials that are relayed on TV between 10.00 am and 10.00pm. As it is the housewife ( as the name suggests) spends time “at home” she has nothing to do except watch TV serials. For the menfolk watch News – Sports – Market Analysis.

Allow me to reveal some home truths here. It may be accepted the “Men Donot Watch Megaserials” , for these are boring stuff watched and appreciated by the women. This is so not true. Men may not “sit and watch” these shows… but every now and then they make their discreet enquiries about the plot of these serials,.. they say something like..”Honey.. what happend to the serail at 9.00 .. where XYZ eloped with the bar guy.. or the ABC person convited for trial”.. poor lady of the house narrates the plot only to get ..” and this is the crap you ladies sit and watch all day long”… Not stopping here.. the next week … he wants to be updated of the plot.. with another discreet query.. and the saga continues.. .. ..
