5 TV shows that should return to small screen

5 TV shows that should return to small screen

We are a bunch of nostalgic folks who still think about the good old days of television. Before all the saas-bahu drama took over the small screen. Even though there's a change happening with audience-specific shows, we can't help but think of the late 80s and 90s! Thus, we take a look at five shows from the past that we want back on TV. Read on:

Dekh Bhai Dekh: 

One of the most successful shows on the small screen was this epic family sit-com. With an ensemble cast consisting of Shekhar Suman, Farida Jalal and Bhavna Balsavar, among others, the show became one of the pioneering ones. It had an entertaining plot, funny one liners and family values that are sacrosanct  for the viewers! It's no wonder that it was watched widely by the entire family. Moreover, many of the characters from the show like Urvashi Dholakia and Bhavna Balsavar went onto become top heroines of the small screen. 

Tu Tu Main Main:

Even though the theme was of a saas and her bahu fighting, the show was served with lot of humour and relevant everyday activities that showed the strength of a family. Despite both Radha and Devki (Supriya Pilgaonkar and Reema Lagoo, respectively) arguing endlessly, they always stood up for each other whenever the situation demanded. They just couldn't live without their Tu Tu Main Main. And neither can we! Wouldn't be wonderful if the show made a comeback, package nicely for this generation, and entertained us like the olden days? 

Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai:

Perhaps one of the most intelligent shows on TV, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, dealt with real issues in humorous ways. With Ratna Pathak Shah and Rupali Ganguly at the helm of things, it's not much of a surprise that the show went onto become a huge hit. It had a plot that dealt with the issues of class, creed and societal pressures. Because the quintessential Indian families hide many layers of secrets from the society. And are often embarrassed about their social status and insecurities! It not only put forth such views, but also made us realise what people really feel and do. It should definitely come back with a fresh season where the same characters reprise their original roles. Already sounds interesting, eh? 

Office Office:

Only Pankaj Kapur could have the pulled the role of a simpleton-caught-in-the-mess-of-bureaucracy in this situational comedy. As Musaddilal, he was unabashedly loud when needed, while absolutely pitiful when the situation demanded. He was supported by an able cast made up of Asawari Joshi, Sanjai Mishra and Deven Bhojani, among other stand-alone characters. Bribery and corruption in the society was shown in an intelligent and hard-hitting ways by this series. It was renewed for a while as New Office Office, but it failed to do well. We hope that they revamp it and bring it back because it's a show that has the potential to do well, especially now. 

Khichdi:

Imagine a crazy family, consisting of a strict patriarch and his insane bunch of relatives. Yes, this is the plot of this fun show that made an impact on youngsters as well as the oldies. It could be watched by the entire family and enjoyed by all age groups. We miss Hansa's 'how are...khaana khaake jaana!' and her conversations with her equally dumb husband, Praful. With an interesting star cast that used deadpan humour instead of a laugh track, it made for an entertaining watch. It's widely regarded by the critics and audiences as one of the best sit-coms of Indian TV. Even though the second season of the same show, called Instant Khichdi, tanked, it should be brought back to the screen. Don't you guys agree with this? 

Which show do you want to see making a comeback on the small screen? Let us know right away!

Now viewers wants only serials which can made them cry and angry like anything. Viewers now only like shows which constantly have negative characters and fights in episodes, now they don't have any appetite for the fresh and genuine comedy shows like sarabhai or khichdi etc. Viewers are now addicted to so called good serials which are based on betrayal, saas-bahu drama, murder, re-union, planning and plotting by evil characters in current serials so now viewers are not ready to have fresh air in the form of true comedy as they all are addicted to worse.
