Every Sunday, right after He-man defeated Skeletor. And, later it was Uncle Scrooge and his damn money bin. Having just one channel, DD, life was much simpler. You had Byomkesh Bakshi, Indradhanush, Mungerilal, Mister Yogi (remember that? much before Hyderabad Blues)... *sigh* > Having said that...some of the dialogue was wonderful.

If you want real entertainment, watch the new Mahadev serial. They add their own spice into mythology. I had never heard of Ganesha being married (at least in South Indian temples I have never seen Ganesha with his wives), or Shiva/Parvathi having a daughter. There was an article (on silk?) which mentioned an increase in number of Vaishno Devi temples after the cult classic "Jai Maa Vaishno Devi". ~ashwin
