4 Sitcoms that tickle your funny bone

Ted Mosby: When 2 broke girls said it was hot in Cleveland, the big bang theory was invented and that’s how I met your mother!

Gone are the days when everyone was hooked on to (and eventually bored with) the saas bahu dramas. This is the era of laughing with sitcoms (or stand-up comedy for that matter, but we will talk about it later) instead of plotting and mind-poisoning dramas that do us no good.

So when you return home fighting the Monday blues, it's nice to hear Sheldon (Jim Parsons) knocking on the door, "Penny, Penny, Penny!" The nerd from The Big Bang Theory has something special about him. Read the entire post on Half Baked Beans where I contribute as a Guest Blogger, I am sure you will love it! 

Song Titles in Serial Names!

Bade Acche Lagte Hain and Kuch Toh Log Kahengey!

Perhaps no one was able to appropriately provide new titles for the new shows on Sony TV. Hence they seem to be 'inspired' by apne puraane gaane.

Chalo, the positive thing is that both the shows are good to watch... for now at least. The script, dialogues, cast and logic look nice for now. But after a couple of months, will the shows fall in the typical category? Well, let's wait and watch!

For now who cares log kya kahengey when logon ko serials ke bade naam acche lagte hain!

Manav and Archana to marry in Pavitra Rishta

I have been watching episodes after episodes of Pavitra Rishta hoping that Manav and Archana will get together finally. And today's episode (12th November 2010) finally had the twist. With Jayvant's truth being revealed (yet again) and Shravani opting out from the wedding (she 'allowed' Manav to marry Archana), the serial was worth watching today. I hope now there's no more stretching in the story.

Pavitra Rishta's Archana slaps Dharmesh!

Now the 7th October episode of Pavitra Rishta was full of drama, emotions and action. Archana has had enough and when she discovers that she had been cheated into signing a declaration against Manav, she loses her temper and how. It's weird how Dharmesh justifies the action. The heat rises in presence of the entire extended family (Satish and Jayvant's families as well). It reaches to a point when Darmesh questions and insults Archana's existing relation with Manav and she slaps him tight. Of course,that calls for a walkout by Dharmesh, Satish and Jayvant's families.

Later, Archana's mother Sulochana reprimands her. Archana is heartbroken and decides to support the innocent Manav.

Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV

Will Manu disclose her identity in the 29th June episode of Zee TV's Jhansi Ki Rani?

For some reason, I am hooked on to the Jhansi Ki Rani Show on Zee TV. I have been watching the serial from day 1 and am very impressed with the casting and the execution of the show. The young girl portraying the Rani Lakshmi Bai character (Ulka Gupta) acted brilliantly and the new female (Manu's older version Kritika Sengar) smoothly took over the role since recently.

Now, Manu / Jhansi Ki Rani has saved the King and Tatya Tope has advised her to reveal her identity for the benefit of Jhansi. Will she or won't she? Well, let's wait and watch in the 29th June episode.
