Reality shows seem to be the new age entertainment recipe. They might be selling controversies or cashing upon peoples emotion; but at the end of the day, they are the most poplar shows with the highest TRPs.

Need to restrict reality TV
STAR TV, Zee TV, Sony are some of the established and popular entertainment channels. They have everything for their viewers, ranging from sagas to comedy to horror.

A new range that has come up is that of reality shows. The channels make it a point to show the clippings of the contestants fight throughout the day. Many tabloids refer to these acts as scripted and mere publicity stunts. But, what’s wrong in using these stunts if viewers are enjoying it?

Coming to reality shows, everyone is in the spell of these nowadays. You ask for it and they are ready with everything in the form of reality shows based on singers or dancers or comedy. There are shows showcasing the talent of children, to shows based on celebrities. It’s not just great performances but one also gets to enjoy the difference of opinion between the judges and contestants.

The pioneer of these shows was Indian Idol. Though there were some other reality shows before Indian Idol, but the spell of reality shows on the the Indian audience began after Indian Idol. It was a new concept in our country, because the final decision was in the hands of the viewers ie the winner was decided on the basis of voting by the viewers. The viewers had the power to make or break the future of the contestants. The entire idea of Indian Idol was copied from American Idol and the concept was successful in marking a new beginning in the Indian television scenario. After the popularity and success of Indian masses, other channels did not lag behind in launching these reality shows for their channels. Today, these reality shows are ruling the market.

Initially, the reality shows were meant for the masses. Now, a new dimension has been added to these shows ie celebrity reality shows, in which the celebrities are the contestant. These shows are hot topics of discussion in school and colleges. The celebrity tag attached to any show is bound to take off. India is a star struck nation. They always want to know about the happenings in the personal life of these stars, so these shows are a instant hit with the masses. These shows are called reality shows because these are based on the decisions of the masses and the final call is based on these decisions. But how real are these shows? Are they actually based on the decisions of the masses? There have been questions surrounding the authenticity of these shows. Many people believe that the final results are manipulated and the shows are more about television rating points (TRP).

Another dark side to these reality shows is the sharp comments and criticism received from the judges. Many contestants lose their confidence when they are subjected to harsh comments. In one of the past incidents, Shinjini Sengupta of Kolkata lost her ability to speak and move after she was shown the door in the elimination round of a reality show.

Many good singers do not win due to the voting system as people vote on the basis of regions. The viewers prefer that a contestant of their state should win. In this case, talent takes a back seat. Reality shows seem to be the new age entertainment recipe. They might be selling controversies or cashing upon peoples emotion; but at the end of the day, they are the most poplar shows with the highest TRPs.

i do think the reality shows are scripted. And i'm not sure about the audience voting part. How can we be sure that there is transparency in the votes the channels claim the contestants have got??

I beleive all these reality shows rather than entertaining are spoiling the behaviour of the people. Be it children , youngsters or older people. Realities shows are more unrealistic than ever.
