TV as whole is regressive. PPK is a one of the many shows on television that deserved to be taken off air. One of the main reason it struck a nerve is because they tried to pass off a marriage between adult and child as cute. The girl's decision to marry a child was declared as noble sacrifice by the producer, and things like honeymoon and suhagraat was used as TRP bait which obviously backfired. Indian audience have become desensitized to violence against women,but I suppose the involvement of a little kid pissed people off.
I wrote something similar here.http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4890607&PID=143757827&#p143757827Though I agree that gul's shows are most regressive. Ekta's shows nowadays are mostly guilty of being stupid, she has stopped showing mistreatment of women for ratings. unlike gul,ekta has proper courtesy and good business skilss. Gul on the other hand is an arrogant fool with zero manners or any kind of business sense.
