There is no reality show. It's duplicity duplicating itself and putting it on display. But I love that English Chef Ramsey or something. An asshole.
Hmm, we did not have a television growing up (or at least I did not, the rest of the litter did have it longer), so we listened to the radio. My favorite shows were Hawa Mahal which was a short skit that came on in the evening, the news and of course the comedy shows (Santojan ki Mehfil comes to mind) When we finally did get television, it was a black and white rabbit ears (a Grundig, IIRC), and we watched it sparingly, mostly I love Lucy, Der Alte (a German detective series), Didi's comedy show (another German series), Il était une fois... l'homme (a French series translated in English), Fireball XL5 (I wish I was a spaceman, the fastest guy alive...). There was also a German game show between towns called Telematch, which was awesome, because it was so silly! In my teens, I recall watching Derrick, Captain Kirk in Star Trek and Spiderman (Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can...). Loads and loads of British television, Some mothers do have 'em, Are you being served?, Sorry, Fawlty Towers, To the Manor Born, Yes, Minister and the very excellent Mind Your Language. At that point, we stopped getting German and other European suff, which was a pity. I missed Telematch. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Somewhere around this time, we graduated to a color television, a NikiTasha, made in India woohoo, almost a decade after the black and white. We did start getting kungfu films from Asia instead. There was a channel that was on for a very short time, called HomeTV and they showed The blood stained intrigue (story of red and blue swords), Zu mountain saga, Brothers under the skin, Land of the condors, The other side of the horizon, Legend of the condor heroes, The hunter's prey. Around this time we started getting more American TV shows, like Three's Company, Different Strokes, Family Ties, The Wonder Years that I recall watching; much later cable TV came in (5 years later in our home than everyone else, of course Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) but it was mostly soaps and stuff that I barely followed like Dallas and Dynasty etc. I was in college at the time and had better things to do than watch television. There were lots of Indian shows that I watched, like Nukkad (the village square), Buniyaad (the foundation, a tory of a family torn apart by partition), Hum Log (We, the People; the travails of a middle class family with aspirations), Chunauti (the warning, an excellent series of how drugs can destroy young lives) and Ek Kahani (One Story). The last was an excellent dramatisation of short stories and plays from world literature dramatised in an Indian context. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I'm sure I've missed many. edit: there was a lot of Tom and Jerry, Top Cat and the Pink Panther at some point, across the black and white and colour television stage.

Who's The Boss Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Okay I need help with one. It was a Police Drama that came on at night. There was a short older guy kinda bald mustache. His partner was really tall, dark hair and kind of darker skinned. ?????????????????? It is driving me nuts, can't think of the name.
It was just habitual at home not to have the TV on in the daytime; we did other things, with four of us at home, there was no dearth of options Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!. I don't think we ever turned on the TV until after 8 pm. Of course, its all changed now.

I'm sure. Please don't. You might find ingredients for your future straw men....or, may the gods forbid, you might find truths.
