7 Awesome Old TV Shows That Can Still Make Our Hearts Melt In 2020

Okay, how many of you even still watch TV? Ever since OTT platforms have been introduced, we’ve been glued to our screens like a bee to honey. And, to be fair, the TV content nowadays consists of nothing but over the top dramas and a mindless stretch of pointless shows. But there was a time when TV programs were the real deal and that was the good ol’ days of the 90s. So, here we have a list for you that’ll help you dive right back into the happy days and binge them on your devices. Let’s get started!

1. Hum Paanch

Picture Credits: imdb

One of the most popular sitcoms of its time, Hum Paanch was every household’s favourite, and for good reason. It was one of those shows that one could enjoy with the whole family. It had everything - the brilliant cast, humour, and dollops of sarcasm. A lot of us would now be able to empathize with Anand Mathur who was constantly pestered by his troublesome daughters and his dead wife who would not leave a single chance to taunt him. The nostalgia is hitting hard with this one, folks. Go watch it with your fam!

4. Office Office

Before we had Michael Scott, there was Mussadilal, a common man troubled by the government’s inefficiency and its corrupt ways. This satirical series projects a typical day in the life of a common man trying to get his issues resolved by government servants, who have better things to do like chopping veggies, having samosas, and some chit-chat. If you hate bureaucracies just as much as we do, then defo watch this one!

5. Fauji

Responsible for inspiring generations to join the army, Fauji is a classic that holds a special place in all our hearts. The series followed the life of young army recruits training to become commandos in the Indian Army. It showed how these young playful boys learn discipline and become responsible men, and honestly, we were floored. And young SRK in his TV debut was just too cute and did such an amazing job as Abhimanyu that we’re in love with him all over again!
