I am ready for a new trend on TV...what will it be, I wonder?

Hello my friend I agree everybody and their mother has a t.v show now I am sick of it, so with that said they need to make a show about me and my mother

Hahaa. I feel ya dear. I wish there will be fresh programs that are going to be really interesting. A lot of the shows that I'm watching have been a little boring, even local programs here in my country - a lot of them are patterned from shows in the US and several of them are dubbed series' from Korea and Taiwan.

I think reality television is here for keeps. The producers will come up with newer and newer themes/sub-themes and sub-themes of sub-themes. In India, over the last 6 to 7 years I have heard people discussing the fate participants of singing competitions, dancing competitions, even one whole season about who a particular starlet will select as a husband among the 13 or so applicants for the job of being a celebrity's spouse, about a group group of people roughing it out in a Malaysian jungle, stuff like Big Boss, Indian Idol, the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and various versions and avatars of the same (Slumdog Millionaire was based on the initial seasons of Kaun Bangega Crorepati or Who Will become a Millionaire). There is going to be season of male minor divorced celebrity who is going to select a bride from the umpteen hopefuls who want hunger for the limelight on them..... Television content based on the happenings in a small locality-maybe cameras focused on groups of individuals going on with their normal live - maybe this could be a trend? Also, since it's possible to watch television on a mobile phone, there could be special content created for the mini-screen (Television being the small screen)? We live in interesting times, technology is improving faster, I think the last 50 years has seen more growth in technology and science than seen since primates evolved from walking on all fours to becoming bipedal...... It'll be interesting to see what the human mind creates to keep other humans glued to what is generally called a an 'idiot box'.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, I know one thing. "EXCESS OF EVERYTHING IS BAD". I applies to all everywhere. All such shows are professional and money making type. Our great born singer 'Lataji' outrightly discouraged such reality shows. They are craeted to suit some one's popularity. Only public is made scapegoat. MaY god bless You and have a great time.

I went without TV for a month because I wasn't digital ready and then I started using Satellite TV (the option was always there I just chose not to indulge). There is a ridiculous amount of channels available but what amazes me is how there are entire channels devoted to one thing like babies or reality shows or whatever. When I think of all the money that goes into producing all that content for all those channels I just shake my head at some of the waste.

I don't have a tv..

Yuk I am absolutely sick of them, and to be honest I don't hold out much hope for anything more entertaining, if you can call those shows entertaining, more mind numbingly boring. To be honest I don't watch much television, I think I watch about 3 or 4 programs a week, I like my Soaps, I like Weakest Link and I like Dragon's Den, the rest of the time the tv is off, a complete waste of money to me, so I tend to be on the computer far more, watching dvds or reading.

Yes all the features on the TV range from the sensational to the shameful. What is lacking is something practical. I would appreciate something that is of practical use. Do you know most of the welfare activities of the government and charities are not utilized as people are not aware. There is a woeful lack of information as to where to seek help. Programs projecting such would be practical. Rather making them drab, dry pieces of information some fun element could be thrown in. Maybe in a Jerry Sienfeld show. Kramer would do a good job of it! Lot of openings for creative people! The possibilities are endless. Someone please sit up and take notice!

i dont think or i dont hope what it will be... but i want this to happen... there area lot of good books out there which have not been made into proper adaptations into the movie format.. i have never been happy with the harry potter movies because they are not comprehensive... i am very much looking forward to some big production house to come forward and do full justice to the harry potter novels.. also there are many such sreies out there which are equally good such as artemis fowl ... even the japanese anime naruto can be converted to a series with real actors.. it would be a great thing if somebody could do all this.. it is quite something what i am asking for here but i am sure its doable ... only time will tell....! already we have movies of animes and cartoons coming out like dragon ballz and gi joe... if only they could be translated to small screem i would be happy and so will fans all over the world... and i too am sick of all the dance , singing and talent programmes simply because of the fat they are very expoitative!

The biggest trend I've noticed in recent years is that the studios in charge of making tv shows are doing so with the same kind of plots. In general, if you have a drama-action style tv show, whether that be on the SyFy channel or regular programming like ABC, NBC, FOX, etc., most of the action is people shooting at each other. If we go back ten years from now, you'd find a lot more shows on said channels where you had people fighting face-to-face. Now, the few ones you can find like that are cancelled soon after, or are during time-slots of other favorite shows. The shows I mean are like Buffy, Angel, Dark Angel, and other shows like that where there was as much face-to-face violence as killing someone with a bullet. Now, I think the only ones I see as having as much of that are Supernatural and Smallville, and those might not be on the air much longer depending on ratings. If they wanted to start or re-start a trend for the next ten years, I'd say go back to that. I miss seeing people busting their fist across someone's jaw or actually being put in physical danger that would actually be plausible in the real world. (Yeah, I know, the shows I mentioned aren't exactly 'real world', but the fighting is stuff that can take place. Except maybe the whole going through a wall thing, but come on, that's good action). Don't get me wrong, I like stuff like Stargate and L&O: SVU/CI, but the rest of the shows that come on aren't all that good.

The new trend will probably be something that is actually a real life situation like some sort of job or something like that. then after that it will probably be back to some form of a game show.
