I want to call out all 90s kids here in this post who can relate to each and every thing I write here, Television plays a very important role in 90s kids childhood. I myself being a 90s kid can say that in our era, watching television was considered as hobby. Our parents used to scold us for watching too much television and sometimes the tv cable subscription was cancelled in my household before our exams so that we can concentrate on studies and avoid television. Watching television in early 2000s was lot of fun because there were so many good shows aired that we can relate to. From Superheroes, Youth Drama, Kids shows to educational content television was amazing.
If you compare today’s television you will notice that today we only see same type of shows everywhere where there is a saas and bahu and they fight all the time and the entire season ends inside a single house. No outdoor shots no other stories just same old saas bahu thing that’s it.
You will not see any youth drama these days as most of the youth prefer watching western series and not Indian shows, the main culprit here is big banners and production houses who focus on money making and not producing different types of shows for all types of viewers.
We use to wait for cartoon the entire day but now you can watch cartoons anytime, this is surely a luxury for today’s kid but unfortunately they don’t watch cartoons but watch adult drama and manga. Kids are not same now. They grow up very fast mentally. The innocence has lost now.
We are slowly going towards western television trend because this OTT thing is mainstream in countries like USA, People there watch cable tv for news only, other than that they are mainly into OTT for shows and movies. We are also going towards this and very soon you will see that the tv channels will end and everything will be on the internet and OTT. We all miss our childhood and television that does not exist now.
