Daily
TV
serials
and
shows
have
captured
all
our
attention!
Whether
it’s
the
heart-warming
‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S’
or
‘Uttaran’;
different
conceptually
as
well
as
technically
these
serials
win
hearts!
Taking
a
list
of
some
popular
serials
currently
running
on
Indian
television,
‘Diya
Aur
Baati
Hum’,
‘Saath
Nibhaana
Saathiya’,
‘Qubool
Hai’
and
‘Beintehaa’,
what
is
common
in
all
of
them?
Conceptwise,
they
are
more
or
less
the
same;
they
all
have
elements
of
romance,
family
drama
and
the
Saas-Bahu
sagas!
Though,
definitely,
these
serials
have
also
encouraged
our
Indian
audience,
sometimes
made
them
cry,
and
at
times
made
them
learn
something
in
life
too!
Yes,
the
drama
sometimes
gets
too
much,
calling
it
hamming
too
at
times;
but
there
is
a
huge
audience
for
the
typical
family
drama
serials.
Take
a
look
at
some
American
series
like
‘The
Listener’,
‘X-files’,
‘Two
and
Half
men’
and
even
‘Citizen
Khan’!
‘The
Listener’
is
a
slick
flick
based
on
a
man
who
can
listen
to
sounds
very
far
away
and
assists
the
Police
in
solving
crimes.
Something
different
yet
well-conceived!
‘X-files’
is
based
on
the
supernatural
and
has
been
on
for
many
years.
Agent
Moulder
and
Scully
have
become
household
names
and
this
series
has
gripped
the
audience.
Comedy
you
ask;
take
a
look
at
‘Citizen
Khan’
on
a
Pakistani
man
based
in
London
and
his
quirky
jokes.
‘Two
and
Half
men’
is
more
like
a
daily
serial
which
has
a
man
with
his
son
staying
with
his
brother
and
the
situations
they
are
put
in.
A
‘man
or
boy’
serial,
ladies
love
watching
it
too!
‘Sex
and
the
city’
is
one
of
the
most
viewed
serials
and
the
reasons
are
obvious.
Girls
and
guys
are
hooked
on
to
it.
Where
Indian
serials
and
shows
never
miss
to
touch
the
emotional
chord
of
the
audience,
Hollywood
TV
serials
seem
more
practical.
Yes,
they
do
shed
a
tear
here
and
there;
but
call
it
culture
difference;
they
are
different
yet
good
in
their
own
respect.
Viewing
both
Indian
and
Hollywood
TV
serials
and
shows
give
us
an
idea
of
their
audience,
their
culture
and
habits.
Though,
American
serials
are
crisper
and
don’t
really
seem
unending
like
the
Indian
serials,
Indian
serials
are
also
now
foraying
into
this
with
‘24’,
‘Yudh’
and
channel
ZINDAGI’s
one
month
serials.
