Idiot Box news update

Ghar Ki Baat Hai, the weekend situational comedy show on NDTV Imagine produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chilies Idiot Box, will go off air from the first week of July after completing nearly 40 episodes.

The show began on January 30 this year and was given the 9.30 pm slot from Friday to Sunday. Gradually, it was reduced to a weekly show, apparently because of the IPL matches. But the show failed to grab eyeballs. So now, it will be pulled off air.

Shailaja Kejriwal from NDTV Imagine confirms the news. "It's true the show is going off air but it was supposed to. It doesn't have to do with its TRPs. The show had its set of dedicated viewers. We brought it down from three episodes to one because of technical reasons and of course the IPL. It was a one-episode-one-story concept and had to be seasonal." However, she adds that the show will be back after a six month- break in 2010.
