Saas-Bahu Serials? - How to craft a never ending story with the same plot line

They say that plot lines should be different only then will views be entertained. Our Saas-Bahu show producers however, know that the more melodramatic and highly improbable the plot the better the TRP. The more the heroine is decked with jewellry, the more tears she sheds, the more plots of the vamps... the more interested viewers get. 


If the women who view this are the educators or rather teachers of values in a family; God help their children!


The portrayal is stereotypical to the extreme and yet it wins audiences. How? That is a question only the viewers can answer. I cringe at the thought of what international audiences would think of such telly portrayal. What kind of idea would they get of Indian culture and tastes? The names of these serials are irritating enough. In English they are even worse:


Story of every house (
Kahani ghar ghar ki)

Because a mother-in-law was once a daughter-in-law (
Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi)

To name the most famous of the lot.


THESE ARE 9 VERY AMUSING REASONS TO WATCH SUCH SERIALS... FOR LAUGHS DO OPEN IT!
