I’d not really watched Paki stuff for ages because every time we get together at family time we have family friends who lend us Pashto drama serials or a clean Hollywood film dubbed in Pashto so we watch them or English movies instead…
Maybe that’s why it’s a bit of a shock to me when I turned the Paki channels on, the Pakistani TV we were use to was Guest House (with the lovely charismatic aunty and her husband Shamiiiiiim and the cockroach who liked to be known as Jaan Rambo), Aroosa (the one with that pretty girl), Alpha Bravo Charlie, Kashkol, Aanch, Dukh Sukh etc. Nazia Hassan, Vital Signs, Junoon etc.
Now you turn PTV on and you get women with cleavages so big that half their things are jumping out at you and a (more or less) naked man in nothing but a skin tight lycra chaddi doing sit-ups on that meterosexual program presented by that gay guy with the long curly hair.
Is this the sort of programs we want to be watching whilst we’re sat with out mothers/sisters/daughters? It’s disgusting, we don’t want porn, family time isn’t for porn, it’s for putting your feet up with a hot cup of cocoa without worrying about awkwardly having to change channels.
The only reason we once watched Paki stuff and grew attached to it was because of its cleanliness, if *we wanted naked flesh there is B4U, Zee TV, Star Plus with programming a million times better in quality than any Paki will ever be able to produce. *
If I was randy I know the default PIN code for my set top box and I know which number to enter for Playboy or TV X, it’s disgusting we’re getting softcore porn on a supposedly Pakistani/Muslim channel. These idiots should do us a favour and stop playing Aazaan five times a day and the ArRahman-ArRaheem programs, because with all that music before and after it, it is sacrilegious and secondly I know my religion and don’t need dancers to tell it to me (like a brother once said one here we don’t need Miraasis to teach us Usool Ad-Deen), you don’t have to act like PSEUDO-Mullahs just do us a favour and stop showing the softcore porn instead, bloody hypocrites think playing Aazaan will redeem them for showing vulgarity, what’s the point in mixing religion and filth? I as a gentleman admit watching music videos is Haraam but I don’t go around trying to defend myself or legitimatise it or start mixing the ugly and devilish with the beautiful and divine, and misguide others by it.
All this is thanks to that greasy President . Like all that wasn’t bad enough every damn program seems to be based or set in a certain urban overcrowded dust infested part of Pakistan with all sorts of weird and ajeeb people who we don’t recognise and whose culture we can't relate to, the face of Pakistani TV has completely changed thanks to these people, this isn’t what we related to Pakistan, when we thought Pakistan we thought faces we could recognise that resembled our own people back home, we thought serials set in beautiful places like ISB (not the overcrowded dunghole I mentioned above), we thought Kaghan, Swat, Chitral, Peshawar, green fields and water buffaloes of the fertile and beautiful Punjab… If what I see on TV is the new and future face of Pakistan then the little bit of emotional attachment I had for Pakistan is gone.
This is what you get when you have foreigners ruling you, imposing their vile culture and lack of morals/values (enlightened moderation?) on you.
but you admit hindu television is superior. however, you state it is disgusting. In other words, it is your belief that hindu television is disgusting and superior. I think you need to redefine what you are trying to accomplish here. Perhaps you need to redo your thesis paragraph here. Since it leaves the reader in utter confusion, leaving them with one conclusion. You are a hypocrite.
You love hindu television, because its a million times better. Thats a bold statement. How can you call it a million times better then regard it as unclean, dirty, and unwatchable?
You sound similar to those foby men who praise the idea of marrying a virgin woman, but are seemingly ok with the idea that your being virgin isn't important. Do you see where I am getting at? My question is, if you think hindu television is literally a million times better, then why throw vile attitudes towards it. Its like saying, i love watching porn but not with family.
So...since you admit loving and admiring the quality of hindu television, is it not logical then to assume you are the one ruled by the foriegners? Who are the traitors here? who do you support? Then you are equating ptv with porn...and certainly that is an exageration.
Lastly, just to let you know, Pakistan was actually created as a secular nation, not an islamic one. If you are a mullah type and oppose what Pakistan stood for originally, then you'd be on the side of hindus who along with the mullahs, did not support the creation of Pakistan. Perhaps it is then, time to move to india, or saudia arabia. Two idiotic countries, with certainly the strange and conflicting attitudes you share.
sure. cool breeze.....but to say that recently the shows became unislamic is incorrect and the era which is being stated as good family viewing was uncomfortable for families back then, even shows like tanhaiyan and ankahi would offend conservative families.
you are right. I agree
But I was surprised to see some advertisments - during the family hours when the whole faimly in PK usually sit together to have dinner and watch tv.
Also to me, its very weird to see a PK drama where females are wearing short shalwars that are way way above their ankles. I mean living in US, we don't wear that kinda stuff.
It may not be related to the topic but the standard of some programs have lowered so much such as talk shows. I mean, if its an urdu program, the host needs to have good urdu accent rather than using wrong sentence with half english in it.
Well I think he is not matured person who started this thread.
If he thinks Pakistani is getting bold day-by-day then it would be good for him to unhook his dish’s cable from his TV. PTV is not forcing him to watch its channels.

You can watch all those programs living in USA,Canada,Europe etc etc being aired on their channels,Infact you live among "those sort of People"....But when it comes to Pakistan or PTV ,it becomes shameful....What Bigotry....If it does not suit you,why don't you stop living among "those sort of people" come back to Pakistan & stop "that kind of progress"...
Maybe there are homes where adults have dish to watch the news, informative talkshows & stuff but when they're not around, their kids can watch whatever. And you can't blame a minor because he doesn't have that much sense of whats right and whats wrong.
Other thing, if something is bad. You can't close you eyes - you have to make it work according to your values.
Turning the TV off is not a solution. The whole country can't turn the tv off - you know its not possible.
With the name calling to the President and the general tone of the thread initiator, I have a hypothesis. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Mullah Omar to GS! The internet has found it’s way to the head of the Taliban!

Why continue pretending you're paki anymore. that cover was blown a while back..The Pashtun part is what all Indians think they are anyway..
A decade ago we didn't even see couple saying 'I love u' in dramas and now they're holding hands, hugging and some even show inappropriate bedroom scenes.. Watching scenes like that can be embarassing especially when you're sat with family. I don't like the sleevless top fashion either.
WOW the guy has a basic concern and everyone jumps on him. I cant remember the name of the drama but they almost showed a kiss at the end of it, it was on eid, i dont remember the name cuz i didnt really watch it :o
To the poster of this thread; I respect your Islamic views but FYI all kind of music, showing women showing/hiding cleavage on TV is not allowed in Islam, so best idea for you is don't watch any TV at all.
Society norms change with time. What is normal dress for women in Pakistan nowadays was unacceptable 20 years ago. So either accept it as it is or reject it and don't watch it.
PS: I find it very offensive that a nobody comes on the Pakistani forum and abuses the president of Pakistan. I am personaly not a big fan of the president but it doensn't mean that I have a right to abuse him.
Since when did saying “I love you” and ALMOST kissing mean the society is decaying?
Do you guys EVER watch American TV? Do you know how much garbage is in it? esp sex? Or is it a case of double standards..
Hmm, let the religious parties rule pakistan... eh raheel?
btw, u think ptv is becoming bad... dude you havn't watched a cartoon with your 3, 8, 11 year old siblings. I am telling you, thank God that they don't understand the dirty jokes in those toons. Even recent movies, anyone seen over the hedge?
anyways, we all have a choice, it's better to just turn that **** off.
