This shows are the need of the time .A business strategy to gain maximum profit and dying channels to revive their market.Parents are the customer who fall prey in the trap for instant fame and exposure promised by this fly by night channels to be in limelight.
children are losing their childhood by the pressure from parents ,teachers,channels ets. The broker are those so called amature masters ie the judges who has to run the training school. if not attached to their big name as status ,business establishment will not take.
Its high time when all our children in Gen X will suffer from Big psychological disorder to be unable to cope up.
Pressure has to be relieved by regulatory authority in this regard.

Please BAN reality shows like 9X channels 'CHAKE DE BACHCHE'. They are pairing kids and promoting romance in them.. this is really horrible to see that such programs try to inculcate bad values among kids.. I am not sure why people like Raveena Tandon are sitting and judging such reality shows..

Promote reality shows such as Quiz programs, science programs, where kids can learn too.. to an extent singing is ok.. but not dancing in pair.. PLEASE STOP..

In my opinion, reality shows, have not been designed to bring out the talent in children, but to increase the TRP ratings of the channel.Channels resort to such low class "acts" in order to draw attention. It will not be wrong to say that such acts are actually pre-planned.
Talent can be brought out in numerous other ways.Why prefer this way, when the stage set up for the childern are nothing but a ploy to pump up the revenues of the channel?In the talent shows, the focus should be on talent, not boosting up TRP.Its highly unfortunate, especially, in recent times, that Indian media is behaving so irresponsibly and giving up its social responsibilty. As a part of the society, it has some foremost duties, which it has been forgotten, in its "wild" and "extremely vulgar,obscene" chase for riches and fame.
Parents should refrain from letting their children participate in such TV shows where their
child is only "an item", not a lovable kid, who have come to show their dreams.They should realise that childhood is not for sale or judgement.
The channel should be sidelined and penalised for
this rebuke, for they have demonstrated clearly, first by their actions, and then by their words, that they don't give a damn to the child.Their insensitive acts are responsible for this child going into depression. If the so-called judges have any moral, social or individual obligation left with them or any sense of guilt left, they should quit.

REALITY SHOWS DO NOT BRING OUT ANY TALENT. THE IRRESPONSIBLE COMMENTS OF THE SO CALLED HONOURABLE JUDGES LEAVES AN IRREPAIRABLE DENT ON THE PSYCHE OF THE CHILD.
WHILE THE CHILD LOSES EVERYTHING IT IS ONLY THE GREEDY PARENTS,THE PRODUCERS & THE MOBILE SERVICE PRODUCERS WHO ARE THE ULTIMATE GAINERS.
IT IS HIGH TIME THE GOVT BANS THESE KINDS OF SHOWS.
