Samadooram on Mazhavil Manorama and Nammal Thammil on Asianet are the two most watched debate shows running in Malayalam television channels. Both the show time and repeated telecast time are same, first telecast on Saturday and Sunday nights at 10pm IST, repeated telecast on next day morning at 9am IST. The way of approach of each topic in both these shows Samadooram on Mazhavil Manorama and Nammal Thammil on Asianet are same. Samadooram on Mazhavil Manorama is hosted by Mr. Sreekandan Nair and Nammal Thammil on Asianet is hosted by Mr. John Brittas. There is a common factor in both these hosts, is that once they were a part of some other television channels of Kerala. Mr. Srikandan Nair was from Asianet and Mr. John Brittas was Managing Director of Malayalam Telecommunications Limited, which owns Kairali TV, Kairali People and Kairali We.
It’s an untold but known truth that both Samadooram on Mazhavil Manorama and Nammal Thammil on Asianet shows are here in Mallu television competing each other for increasing ratings. The ugly truth is that both shows are not getting up to the mark. It may be due to the topic they selects, due to hosts, due to audience at show sets and may even due to the guests. The topics they select are worse and much discussed and everyone knows that the outcome after the show will be a big zero.
Talking about the sets of Samadooram on Mazhavil Manorama is somewhat big in terms of area and a larger volume of audience can be occupied in it. It is eye pleasing also. But the sets of Nammal Thammil on Asianet are small, overcrowded and not at all an eye pleasing one. They still use the old style of television show sets.
Talking about the hosts, first about Mr. Sreekandan Nair of on Mazhavil Manorama, he allows people to talk a little, sometimes he give some big speeches on topic other that the main topic of discussion. Coming to Mr. John Brittas of Nammal Thammil on Asianet, must say he is much worse than Mr. Sreekandan Nair. He has got his own ideas and opinion on each topic and he is tries to suppress audience by his words. Sometimes he burst to audience gathered there in set of Nammal Thammil, which makes the audience watching television at home feel bitter. A moderator should never be so. He is best in chat show, watch Brittas’s chat show with well known Malayalam film singer Mr. Yeshudas on Asianet Plus or Asianet.
The topics discussed both shows are less bothered by a common man. I do not know how many people think about ‘ How many Ranjinis are there?’, ‘Womanish behavior of some men’, ‘ Malayalam film, its problems and Santhosh Pandit (Krishnanum Radhayum)’ etc. The conclusion said at the end is worth as much to fill the appetite of the viewers of Samadooram on Mazhavil Manorama and Nammal Thammil on Asianet. The length of the show should also be discussed. Samaduram is half an hour length while the Nammal Thammil is of one hour length. But the Nammal Thammil is filled with advertisements while it is less in Mazhavil Manorama. Sometimes it may be due to the fact that the channel Mazhavil Manorama is a new Malayalam channel.
The funniest think is that when I discussed this matter with some of my friends who are keen in Malayalam TV channel reviewing, said that they changed the channel to Kochu TV, the new channel from Sun Network (Surya TV).
In short these shows are fighting each other not to excel but to become worse. These shows should never be like so. Malayali viewer has much expectation with these shows on Asianet and Mazhavil Manorama.
