Old School

I’m still quite unsure about the name, old n’ all, though i have to admit, it does sound a bit ‘in’. What am i talking about? It’s the new (or at least i discovered it only recently) programming on Zee Cafe. (are you listening guys, thisis kinda endorsement and stuff) Unfortunately, its only about an hour everyday, and the timings aren’t exactly what I’d call user friendly. (i thinki blew that endorsement deal)
But what it does give, if you can get around to seeing it, is those old favourites that used to appear on Star Plus (yeah, there was a time when it was sans saans and bahus and ekkta kkapoor stuff). I’m talking about Doogie Howser MD, Ally McBeal, The X Files and my personal favourite – The Wonder Years.
Actually it isn’t just about watching old favourite content, its about bringing back those days when i used to watch it every evening. As everyone who reads this blog would know by now, all it takes is a bit of hint for me to go onto nostalgia mode. I guess, thats why they called it ‘Old School’.
And as Kevin would say, “I remember a place… a town… a house like a lot of houses… a yard like a lot of other yards… on a street likea lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I sill look back… with wonder.”

until next time, back to school 🙂

    I copmpletely agree…i wish they had timings suitable for us busy people. But yea seeing these serials when Star Plus was a lot more saner is surely fun! Infact i just saw a re-rerun of The Wonder Years! Guess the name does suit..coz these shows were more so of a learning ground for us somehow or the other 😀
