I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Joblessness...

I check MJHT forum for kicks now though I watch only bits and pieces of the show. I came across a poll which is regarding approval of a character's (a girl, obviously) outfit. I mean, come on. Its OK to an extent when people go dissecting every eyebrow tick, every smile and many things which I never observed before and give a complete analysis, but voting poll for a salwaar suit? Even I am not that jobless! I wonder why people get involved with a series to an extent of obsession. If I like something, then at the max I read and write fan fiction and I know for sure that most shows turn into crap bar a few. (Exceptions: NCIS, Criminal Minds, X-Files up to season seven, Scrubs, Family Guy..this is all I can think of as of now) Apart from the afore mentioned most of the other series (>4 seasons) have turned to useless crap. This show, MJHT, would have been delightfully different but its going in the path of self destruction. When people talk about TRP, they are talking about lousy chosen 5000 population who have some sort of instrument fitted to their TV sets. This is as far as I have read about TRP stuff and the way this data is collected is non-scientific and still unclear to me even after reading about it for five to six times. And there is another thing. TRPs do not necessarily categorize demography when they give the ratings. Demography would be categorized to house holds, age groups etc. Check Nielson's ratings. The ratings are given in terms of viewers in millions across demographies and age groups. Not sure if TRP follows that pattern.
