Recommending some Hindi shows: TRP Ruined Creativity - Page 2

Speaking of the 90's shows. I remember Shanti and Saans. Mature topics,but they were dealt with very well.

In terms of comedy,tu tu main main and hum paanch were classics ! I loved tu tu main main more though

Historicals were class! BR chopra's mahabharatha and Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan were so good,people actually used to touch Arun Goyal's feet coz he was so impactful as Shri Ram.

And my dad keeps telling me about this show-Chanakya. He used to love that show!

Also I dont know how many of you'll remember but zee had a show called "Rishtey" which featured telefilms. Some really nice stories.

Even this kind of show with new story was also on Star plus and just remember with Niki Aneja . Stories were from famous writers , And Sahara also had this series of new story show .

If it may interest you,Imtiaz Ali's Highway,he had first directed as a telefilm and it had aired in Rishtey.

Speaking of recent times,I maybe a bit biased towards this show,but this show was very well researched by the Sagars(10 years),and the first 100 odd episodes were brilliant-Prithviraj Chauhan. The screenplay and execution was class. And this show gave quite a competition in terms of TRP to the saas bahu shows when kyunki and kahaani were peaking! even though it was a just weekend show. But yes the TRp baaba caught them too,the last 50 odd episodes were a dragfest.

Chandragupta Maurya was another good one in recent times. it abruptly ended though coz of channel shutting down. Very intelligent script.

Even Jhansi ki Rani was quite good! Sarabhai of course can never be forgotten.

It was quite witty show where not a moment was wasted and with brilliant actors who gave their best .

Don't know if you guys noticed this, but most of the really good shows were those with limited episodes!

Be it old ones like Hum Paanch, Office Office, Dekh Bhaai Dekhi or Hip Hip Hurray or new ones like Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Love Story, Mahi Way and many others... All had a crisp storyline and limited episodes.

Despite fan requests, the CVs did not extend the show ruthlessly without making sense and hence we don't have even one useless, or as we call, filler epis in them!

I don't know how many of you remember the other shows Star One started with apart from Remix and Sarabhai!

I really loved Guns and Roses, Bluffmaster, Special Squad and Dil Kya Chahta hai!
