Santy's Pick & unpicks on Indian TV

Santy recommends :

* Coupling (Star World) : A comedy about sex and relationship without any skin. Brits do it best.

* Mind of a Married Man (Zee English) : Yet another adult comedy. Don't watch it with your wife, she will come to know what goes inside in your upper brain.

* American Idol (Star World) : Look ma there are stupid people in US too. Watch it to hear Simon Speak.

* Curb your enthusiasm (Zee English) : superb, simple and funny too.

* Mad TV (Zee English ) : Industry people must see it to know what is 'variety'.

* The Great Indian Tamashaa (NDTV) : Puppetry and politics at it's best

* Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai (Star One) : Need to develop taste for this kind of stuff, a sitcom which is really situational and not facial acrobatics and over acting.

* Instant Khichdi (Star one) : Full of overacting and exaggerations, but at its best.

* Goodness Gracious Me & Kumar's at No.42 : Simply superb.

Need Improvements :

* The Great Indian Comedy Show (Star One) : Need to learn from Mad TV as it is something similar. Your show has not reached so much popularity that you end your gigs by shouting your show title. Some gigs are really cool and some are bouncers. But you can do much better.

* Cyrus Vs Cyrus / MTV Fully Faltoo (MTV) : This program runs under "Cyrus Employment Guarantee Scheme". Can't say antything more than that. MTV is becoming too casual and comfortable with its image.

* Zoom (The entire channel ) : Welcome to cleave land. You know what I mean.

Koffee with Karan

The czar of Indian bubble gum romance, has his own family show on Star World - Koffee with Karan. It's kind of all things and people related to johars and chopras on TV. Even if they would have fixed a camera in Johar's or Chopra's bunglow and had chatted in their drawing rooms, it wouldn't have made a difference.

But Karan's ventures are all cheesy and hip so he likes to have a Koffee with friends on cool TV sets and gets paid too. Intelligent person.

There is one thing however I couldn't miss. I thought the only indulgence in Karan's life is 'SRK' as he only tells. But after watching few of his episodes - there are two personalites whom we have not seen in his productions or chopra productions, but are mentioned quite often.
1) Mallika Sherawat - Murder
2) Neha Dhupia - Julie

I think the guy is very upset with these people, it seems they refused to sit with Karan on his Kouch and have Koffee.
