The television is by far the greatest of God & Man’s greatest Joint-account creation and is so diverse that it easily surpasses America as the land of Opportunities, by an extension cord. But that’s not my point, my beginnings rarely are, instead I’m here to let u know about one of the greatest money spinners of all time – a point to be noted to future producers everywhere on how to make a great TV show (OYE Filmy pls take note) and in turn earn millions thru ppl who’d much rather know what’s going on in someone else’s life than attend court for their own Childs custody battle, but then Satire doesn’t get any better and simpler than a TV show about Friends, u know the likes of How I met your Mother, Scrubs, That 70’s show and well, FRIENDS! I shall now delve into the nuances and utter bullcrap formulae for a successful show.
1) Have atleast 1 hot girl in the group: This is the simplest Lesson.. No matter how many “self enhancing Surgeries “ are required to get the desired effect on the male anatomy, there has to be one hot chick in the group who’ll make heads turn and bodies rise :P. The future of the entire show depends on this factor (not humour) and how many years the producers can sustain her beauty- Friends tried it with Monica & Rachel, wherein the former started Shape-shifting just as much as much as Chandler, the latter rose up on the “Hotness” charts and as the no. of seasons went higher so did the length of her skirts. But no one was complaining, especially the producers who managed to “bind” fans through that 1 metre of Gucci Cloth alone.
2) There has to be one unimaginable couple in the group: generally the 2 ppl u least expect to ever get hitched do so. N generally it’s the guy who gets the better deal, which I totally approve of. The reason behind it is that it gives the Show Shock Value and it gives Hope to Nerds, and Geeks, And Weirdos that there is someone for u out there, someone whom u can only dream off in real life to maybe at best give u a cold Shoulder to get in Bed with u. It’s what Dreams are made up and I’m not talking about the normal kind. And if the characters are lucky enough, they even have a kid together so that the Male has Proof that he’s “been there”, and the woman a lesson on “stay off the Vodka”
3) The Funny Guy gets all the action : this a myth that only exists on screen, but then again, the groups funny guy somehow is also the best looking guy, and the dummest guy, and the Charmer and well, everything but successful so he has a lotta free time to find his prey, assess the situation, and hunt her down. Something the average funny guy is incapable of since he’s got important stuff to do – like sit on his ass & write blogs!! Anyways, the free time’s probably why his success rate is so astonishing and also Probably Why Condom Companies look to him as a potential Spokesman – “I Nailed her, but safely, did u?”
4) A Nerd: This character is placed solely to b able to get every category of viewer around. The Nerds during their bi-monthly Sci-Fi Conventions keep aside Time from their busy “Star wars/ Star Trek/Other Nerd Shit” schedule to discuss shows that they should see to camouflage themselves in society. So To associate with their Kin the producer must suitably place a Nerd in the situation to attract viewership and if merged with Point 2 the Nerd support shall skyrocket to Nebulas and “In a Galaxy far far away” – drool enducing thought for a nerd just as beautiful as Princess Leia’s Buns ( the ones on her head, perv).
5) No other character!!!: Lastly the most impt element of the successful series is by making the show so monotonous by replaying only the lives of those 4/5/6/7 characters that every other possible character gets no more than 42 secs of screen time (including end credits) other than if ur a “celebrity Guest” where they’ll force u into the story somehow, mostly with the never ever before thought of idea- dating one of the characters. Maybe this is why more characters run away/die on shows than in real life (unless it’s an Ekta Kapoor Show, there is no dearth to her death inducing capabilities).
So as u can see, there’s a medium to be exploited and with the closure of Shows like Friends there’s a lot more 20 something wannabe actors with chiseled features and whiny voices available, n as masterminds who know that able citizens value the TV more than themselves it is our moral responsibility to make sure both Us n the actors become millionaires they couldn't dream of being. So as the Lord said : Go Forth, n Multiply – Ur Money. God Speed.
