It's one of the longest running shows on television right now, and rightly so. SAB TV's Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) has been garnering praises from audiences and critics alike. Thanks to an ensemble cast and an interesting plot. We tell you why this show has been running for close to five decades. Read on:

Ensemble Cast:

TMKOC's cast is distinct with a variety of characters, dealing with issues that range from silly to sophisticated. One of the reasons we love watching the show is due to the colourful cast. If you get tired of a certain story arc, you can always focus on the other and so on. It gives you time to pick and choose your favorite cast member.

Everyday Problems:

The show mainly focuses on our everyday problems, hence the instant connect with the characters. The way they tackle their issues inspires us too! That's why the show is so widely appreciated by the entire nation. Because we want to laugh our worries away and if we can take away moral values from it...awesome, isn't it?

Chemistry Among the Group:

They all share a wonder bond and a crackling chemistry, which makes us love the show even more. We know that despite their issues, they will be there for one another. And in this day and age, we need such a show for sure!

All Age Groups Can Watch:

Unlike the saas-bahu sagas and the teeny love stories, this is a show that every age group can watch and enjoy. While kids love watching the 'Tappu Sena' and their antics, adults love watching the Bhide’s and Gada’s fights and arguments. It's a win-win for all, eh?

Laughter is the Best Medicine:

We all know how laughing is considered a natural cure for many diseases. And this show promises to make us get rid of all the diseases possible! That's reason enough to watch TMKOC, right?

Tell us why you love this show? Is it because of the cast? Or is the ever evolving script? May be it's the high-profile actors who come to promote on the show? Let us know...
