TV Shows that Refuse to Die

Known for its brazen and brash contestants, Roadies was one of the most watched shows in its initial few seasons. As of 2014, we are bored of its mundane tasks and competitions, back-stabbing, politics, and of course, its annoying duo of judges – Raghu and Rajiv who try a little too hard to be nasty.
Running since 2003

 

 

As hard as it is to believe, CID is one of our country’s most watched shows. While it has positioned itself as an ‘intelligent’ show, it is anything but that. Its popularity extends beyond its run time and through the slew of hilarious jokes about the inane moments of the show that do the rounds. We say stop. Stop now!
Running since 1998

 

 

 

The mother of all soap operas, The Young and the Restless was created out of the need to have a day-time show dedicated to the youth. With a whopping 10, 355 episodes, the series is showing absolutely no sign of ceasing. Although a recipient of a number of awards, we wonder if it is relevant today. Are the youth really interested in unending and irrational storylines? We think otherwise.
Running since 1973

 

 

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
Probably one of the longest running international TV shows, The Bold and the Beautiful seems nowhere close to the end. Based on the life of fashion’s first family, the Forresters, the show with 27 seasons and 6,763 episodes and with 26.2 million viewers across the globe, is brimming with nonsensical and illogical melodrama.
Running since 1987
