Televisionpoint.com Correspondent | Bangalore Zee Kannada, the Kannada general entertainment channel, will launch an new game show called Daddy No. 1 from November 10, airing at Monday to Thursday at 9 pm. The game show celebrates the relentless relationship between a father and a child.
Along with showcasing the tender relationship between a father and a child, the channel claims that the show will be a complete entertainer with various games and acts to test the fathers' intelligence, dexterity, strength and smartness.
The show hosted by television artiste Rajesh is for fathers and their children who are in the age group of 7–12 years. During the first few episodes of preliminary rounds, four teams will participate in every episode and one team each will move to the quarter finals. Similarly the teams that get selected from the quarters move to the semis and eventually there will be four teams participating in the finals and vying for the title of Karnataka's No.1 Daddy.
"More often than not, the mother is given credit and importance when it comes to a parent-child relation, but one often tends to undermine the role of a father. So much so that, most of the television programming is also skewed towards the lady of the house and concentrates on their involvement. It is this fact that prompted us to take a look at this wonderful father-child relation and make it more fun and exciting in the form of a game show," says Vaishnavi HS, programming head (non-fiction), Zee Kannada.
Raghavendra Hunsur, director, Daddy No. 1, says, "The show was conceived keeping in mind the fact that every father is a kind of a Super Hero in the eyes of his child. The challenges are also clever, well-designed, engaging and facilitates a lot of interaction between the child and the father." |
