The Idiot Box is idiot.

Hi, welcome again, It was a kinda busy and exhausted week for me, worked really hard at office yet argued with the boss so many times. I lamentably carried the office stress to home too which made it even worse. But now its weekend time and I want to press the F5 key of my life’s keyboard. So, I thought why not write a post as writing always makes you feel easy, comfy and happy (Unless you are writing in an exam hall.), so here I am, I’ve been watching TV a lot (especially after 10pm) in last few days because my wife stopped talking (It doesn't feel as good as it seems) to me after that “Office stress bomb exploded at home” incident.

Though we fight (Me and my wife) a lot over TV issues, just another day she asked me "Hey, What's on the TV?" and I said: "Dust" which you didn't cleaned properly and an alarm clock which still rings at 6PM for no particular reasons.

Because of all these petty fights I almost cried in my office one day when One of my colleagues asked me "What do you prefer to watch on TV, Sports Center or Desperate Housewives?" and I had to answer it with a "Well buddy, I prefer Sports Center but I watch Desperate Housewives".

This idiot box called TV influence people in a bad way nowadays, yes, that's what the so called EXPERIENCED and SIR KNOWS-A-LOT says. One such person once asked me "What is your views about sex on TV?" and he got very angry when I replied "Didn't tried it yet, though I've an experience of sex on dining table, it was pretty good".

Enough of gabbling I guess, so here we go, straight to the point:




An enormous amount of TV shows goes on air everyday. Most of them are really annoying. This is what I’ve observed from the Idiot Box or the Box every Idiot stare at.


Note: Please click on the pictures for a larger view.






(1). CID & Comedy Circus: The biggest crime in the world is to call CID a crime show and Comedy Circus a comedy show. Solution is that both should switch the titles.





(2). Jhalak Dikhlaja: Well, if Jayasuriya is participating then “Jhalak Dikhlaja” is not an appropriate title for the show.



(3). Roadies: A show where losers (Eliminated Contestants) decide the winner.





(4). Splitsvilla: Girl contestants= Not pretty + Too dumb = Pretty dumb.
Boy contestants= All I can say is that all the boys are beautiful.


(5). And then this one guy asked me “What is the difference between MasterChef and Indian Idol?” and I said “MasterChef me sirf contestant PAKATE hain,judge nahi.”



(6). Sansani: Show presented by a guy who has a pony tail but have no tale to tell. Confusing? Yep, that’s what the show is all about.



(7). And yes, on Star World in every serial (Almost) there is a lead character who is always “Drunk, hungry and horny”. For example Charlie Harper, Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. Meanwhile on Star Plus every lead character is always “Sad, lonely and Screwed”.



(8). Dance India Dance: I strongly feel that the kid dancers should respect Mithun Da a little more and should call him “DadaJee” instead of just “Dada”.



(9). BTW which channel is Mithun Da’s favorite? …….. DISCO-VERY.




(10). KBC: This show is about your GK and a bit about your luck. You can win big money if you are lucky and talented. But the height of bad luck is: when you go to KBC and you use a lifeline called "Audience Poll" and then you look around and find out that "All the ex contestants of Roadies are in audience".




(11). Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa: Another talent hunt show where contestants fight for the title and the judges fight for ……err……TRP maybe.




(12). Plus I’ve learned that the most common judge in these talent hunt shows is our very own gold showroom Bappi Lahiri. Well, I strongly feel that if Bappi Da ever do something great in music, they should give him a “Kilo-Grammy award”. Yes, he deserves that.




(13). Indian Idol: The title really suits one of the judges very much. For Anu Malik it had been a nice journey from: Idol >> I-Dull >>> Idle.




(14). Coffee With Karan: It’s a nice chat show actually called Coffee With Karan where people want to be Cocky with Karan. And FYI the greatest film critic Taran Adarsh is also shooting for a talk show based on the same theme. The title of the show is “Toffee With Taran”.




(15).Every show on LifeOk: Ironically the channel’s name is LIFE OK. Wth!!




(16). Satyamev Jayate: Epic effort by Aamir Khan. Spreading awareness a lot, especially for our politicians, so they watch it every Sunday and then they pass a bill or make a law every Monday.




(17). Emotional Atyachar: One advice: You are too ugly to have such rich and smart companion. So know this fact “It’s a TRAP knucklehead”.




(18).Every daily soap on Indian television: The characters, they never get old, they just get more annoying day by day.



(19). Sach Ka Saamna: No, facing the truth is not that tough but facing the host Rajeev Khandelwal’s acting is quite a challenge.



(20). Jersey Shore: Last thing they can feature on this show is “Porn”. The very reason people stopped watching FTV Midnight Hot.



(21). Two and a half men: Man1= Charlie Harper. Man2 = Berta. Half man = Jake. Alan Harper = Forever alone. (I know its lame but this one is my favorite show, couldn’t control myself).




(22). Bigg Boss: I wonder why the production house spend so much and work so hard to find “Rapists, Dacoits, Porn Lovers, Unsuccessful Actors, Thieves, Dhongi Babas, Liars, Cheaters and thugs”, when they can easily find them all under one roof .Our parliament. It could save their time and money both.



(23). Bade Acche Lagte hain: Wasn't surprised to see Ram Kapoor playing the main role in this serial.




So, don’t watch TV too much, give some time to your life too. Turn it off and live. Hope you enjoyed the post and it made you laugh a bit. Thank you for reading. Take care. :)
