TV - SIMPLICITY LOST

I was just sitiing that day nothing to do ,so was just runnig through all the cannels i have on my tv which my cable guy provides me.
well with most of the channels i browsed through hindi,english,marathi,bengali,south indian, all those channels .

the most striking thing abt all these channels were that all of them had some or the other serials running on them , i mean all those tear eyed, heavy drama,bathed in make up actors,no story line......... dailies . or those made to belive reality shows where every thing is rigged

these programs dont have a social message nor do they look good ,they are just a heavy dose of stress... and viewers love them ... its really amazing to see that viewers would not like any stress from thier family ,but wouldnt mind a shot of stress from all theses programs

but the most important thing to be noted is that these programs on our so called tv have lost that important thing know as SIMPLICITY

i just remeberd some of the serials i used to watch as a kid or in my growing years when there were a just a few handful of channels which showed some really amazing stuff

some of the programs which i may mention must have been watched by most of you

BUNIYAD....
indias first tele serial which hit big time ,but the most important thing abt this serial was it had a great story line ,some amazing actors and above all it was simple ,no buckets of makeup or weird camera angles and editing techniques (it was family drama) , it was my parents who used to watch this more than me but i think they really enjoy it more than the crap they dish out now on the idiot box

DETECTIVE KARAMCHAND
who can forget the carrot munching detective and his assistant known as kitty, well they were one hell of a pair who were a riot on screen with the way they solved those funny mystries
this was one unforgettful serial

MALGUDI DAYS
probably the most finest tv serial made for children and for all on INDIAN TELEVISION
the adaptation of RK NARAYAN 'S malgudi days and swami and friends was a classic
till date on indian televison i am trying to see something which can match this classic made for children....

NUKKAD
the best serial according to me ever made on indian television.. you would ask why because it showed the lives of simple people in a very simple but an entertainig way. i think we can still relate to it . because somewhere in that serial we can find us or some of our situatuions ...
this is surely a classic

there must be other programs(shanti,commandar,vikaram aur betaal etc) too which were great during that time but these are the few which i remember as i watched them

when i see tv today i just try to remember these and say well we had watched some classics and not some crap what they show nowadays

so till then

remebering the classics for thier SIMPLICITY

simply...
