T V Serials

There are so many T V channels being launched but the number of interesting serials is very less.Now-a-days there is nothing much (for me) except News and sports.Reality TV serials were fascinating earlier but now its over the top.If we exclude the soap operas,comedy challenges,dance competitions,reality game shows,etc. there is nothing to watch on TV.(just considering indian television) Ealier there used to be various good hindi serials like Dekh Bhai Dekh Bhai,Sunday ke Sunday,Hip Hip Hurray,Banegi Apni Baat,Campus.Although,Malgudi Days was in a class of its own.

There are only a handful of original good T V serials in the recent past like Office Office and CID(its been on air for more than 5 yrs)I dont know about Jassi though....according to me it was worst than a soap opera.One good serial (Dil Kya Chahta Hai) was aired on Star One but i dont think its aired now.

Hip Hip Hurray was a great serial,it undobtedly taught me a lots of things, i could relate to it and yet it was very entertaining and believable too.Campus was a step ahead and dealt into student politics.I know serials are for enjoyment,drama,thrills but unfortunately the younger kids dont have enough ability to discriminate between real world and world seen on TV.Bad serials are like corrupting the minds of the kids and ignorant audience.Unfortunately even news channels dont accept the right responsibility that comes with their power to influence a large audience and shows irrelevant news at regular intervals, undoubtedly their final aim is to make money.

Exactly! There is hardly anything worth watching on TV these days, except for sports, movies and some cartoons. Even most of the news channels keep me away with their 'Breaking News' flashing on the screen for no genuine reason, though some news channels are still better.
Even Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai was nice to watch.
