Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (1984)
great timeless comedy series
i was a huge fan of this series. Yesterday i watched it again on DVD. I was apprehensive about whether laughs would come or not? But in a few episodes i was laughing hysterically and some episodes were good. Acting wise Rakesh Bedi(Raja} & Satish Shah is brilliant whereas Swaroop Sampat is plain bad but I think she gets the job done. Maybe a better actress could have been used in place of her. This series shows what good, clean comedy is.
If this series were to air in the current year I would have given it 9/10. And to think that this series is almost 25 years old and its comedy is still good. I give it 10/10. I would highly recommend this series for watching on DVD.
Home Improvement (1991)
Extremely funny as well as very insightful
A lot of reviewers has commented on the funny side of Home Improvement but none on the philosophical side.
Yes this show is extremely funny but what makes this show to be exceptional is that it also has very deep insights on the basics of humankind. Wilson is there to do so so and Tim Allen uses Wilson to explain the basics of Human relationships in a very simple way. When Wilson appears on the scene the tempo of the show slows down. It is funny in an intelligent way and also Wilson explains to Tim about the basics of life and relationships.
I liked the character of Tim Taylor most. I would like to add to one other reviewers comment that 'Tim is a stupid ass' by saying that he is an open minded stupid ass. I mean that most of the men are stupid asses like Tim Taylor but this stupidity to create something shows the innovative nature of men. Also Tim Taylor earns his redemption by being open to and heeding to advice from Wilson.
This show does not pretend to be a serious insightful show on life but it is as insightful as any Woody Allen movie. It somewhat reminds me of the movie "Life is Beautiful".
