I wrote this one in 2005 as a comment in a blog. So I guess I will use it as a post

Was just watching Malgudi Days on POGO along with my friends. So all you Malgudi Fans start watching POGO! That set us talking about the good ol’ days of yore! I would like to add Mungeri Lal ke Haseen Sapne, Vikram aur Betal (which had our “Lord Rama” as Vikram!) and even before that Didi’s comedy Show, Spiderman and later the Science Quiz Programs along with Science Quest.
Those were really good ones. Of course Fauji, which launched King Shah Rukh!
Remember those days when DD would telecast regional language films and we could get to see all those “Award?” winning films?
DD also used to telecast really good movies late in the night whenever there was a film festival happenning anywhere!
How about Surabhi with the cheerful Renuka Sahane and the “big” man Siddharth Kak? This show also set a world record or something by receiving over 10 lakh answers for an episode I believe!
Thanks a lot for stirring up good cheerful nostalgia!
I miss those days!
Adios!

Hey you missed out the quiz show Contact. I used to like that one. Doubt if any even remember that! Good old days of one channel and not many choice programmes. Guess the little we watched, they were good unlike now where we channel surf, and yet really don’t get to watch much!!
Btw, this show on BBC is good. The story of Maths. I liked it.

The farthest back I can remember television is when we watched “The Crystal Maze”, “Laugh -a- lympics” and my first favorite show (I was depressed for a week when season 1 ended) – “Black Beauty”
Aaah… I miss those days!
