The Wonder Years
I love the running commentary and the expressions and the inane kiddish humour and the basic similarities i might have shared at some point or the other with my life in school!!!
The trailer:
Home Improvement :)
Another excellent serial that I miss :) - the idiosyncracies of a man lost in own machoism - but can bare it all to his only-eyes-will talk neighbour!!!
God I miss it
The Trailer:
Doogie Howser M.D.
16 year old boy genius delivers kid in the mall :)
young prodigy :)
great show this!!!
The trailer:
Mind Your Language
Oh the English language - anyway it is so complicated - in an effort to simplify it, Mr Brown meets people from various countries and walks of life who just go to no end to ruin it!!!! Oh the hilarity of the situation....
The trailer:
Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot
I remember running home from school... All we had was DD and this was part of Fun Time along with a few others :)
The technical expertise by the Japs was worth the wait...
We would emulate Johnny and the Robot incessantly and it was a lot of fun - I miss this serial.. I miss my childhood
The Trailer:
Fraggle Rock
My aunt, my brother and I used to catch this on the weekends at her place when we had holidays - everything else would take a back seat for this show!!! oh we knew the title track for sometime - and now its just a blur - but the show is still a rocker :)
The Trailer:
AND this is not the end of the list but it sure is the cream of my favorite oldies :)
care to share your favourites???
Get some cool themes

Lost in a Maze
Bhool Bhulaiya - What a fantastic concept. God bless Priyan for remaking it and being as truthful to the original as possible.
THE TRAILER:
The Movie:
Brilliant location - The 'haveli' was mind blowing... The setting was perfect, with great lighting and amazing weather to match (so it seemed). A few holes in the picturisation and the flow, but then otherwise good...
Musical timing: the score was decent, no holes... they cut one song from the screening, but it was not missed in the flow of the movie (so no harm done although it was one song I had hoped to watch)
Performances: Top notch performances from Vidya Balan (not just a pretty face after all) and Akshaya Kumar (appears to be loony) but great all the same... decent performance from Paresh Rawal (who took the 'I-am-so-scared' look a little too far), Amisha Patel was good, and Shiney Ahuja has bad luck being posted with leading ladies with a personality disorder in the movie. The poor chap is jinxed I feel...
But by far the best part of the movie is Vineeth (he has a nothing in terms of length role - but by far the most meaningful - and he is one graceful chap - even more than Vidya Balan). He is damn good at the role given to him, and is utmost importance for his miniscule role!!
Holes in the picturisation:
1. Why does Akshay have his sons name tattooed on his back, I mean if he is single, then why does he have a random guy's name tattoed on his back?? Is he gay?? Evidently not, since he asks for Amisha's hand in marriage at the end.
2. Scene when Akshay is talking to his 'Guru' - a spot boy in black teeshirt races across the left half of the screen in a vain attempt to get out of the frame!
Holes in the screen play:
1. The younger daughter of the big brother of the family, played by Manoj Joshi, has apparently been exposed to the spirit in the movie and has therefore lost her voice (miraculously returned at the end), yet, the movie from the second half speaks of only the leading lady having a personality disorder and no spirit, then how DID the daughter get affected???
2. The married couple were in the 'haveli' on the night before they were supposed to arrive, but then if they arrived at that time, why did they not go to the family home?? seemed kind of weird, but then who am I to assess this...
3. NO RICKSHAW WILL TRAVEL ACROSS STATES OR DISTRICTS (LEAST OF ALL FOR Rs. 13000 - even if they do why would anyone hire that??? what happened to the car service??)
Apart from that, not having seen the original Malayalam version with the National award winning performance by Shobhana, I feel the movie is spectacularly done.
