Friends

If movies entertain you in one way TV serials entertain you in another way. There was a time when I used to switch off the tele whenever I see the show Friends running. But slowly started loving it. The Wonder Years is the first serial to which I became a fan.

Recently I love Two and a half men. But after Charlie Sheen left the series I don't feel like watching it. The British comedies were in a different league such as Fawlty Towers, Are you being served, Yes Minister and so on.

Comedy Central channel is playing some of these series and its really nice to sit and watch them after a tiring day. Recently it plays some British comedies such as Coupling, How not to live your life which I have not seen before and they too were excellent.

After spending a lot money and time on money I have now turned my attention to such series and the first buy is Friends collectors edition. Have started watching from Season 1. So some serious TV watching ahead.

Thevai Oru Maapillai

Yesterday saw a Drama by S.Ve Shekar named Thevai oru Maapillai. A man spends most of his life looking for an escape route from his problems. One such escape route for me has been S.Ve Shekars drama. Whenever I have problems, his dramas provides me the necessary relief.

Coming back to this drama, may be this was telecasted in TV as a series but I dont remember seeing it. He has used along with his drama troupe ppl, chinni jeyanth, dileep, paandu, kovai anuradha, GK and many more tuesday TV drama specialists. Few of them are indeed talented and few of them irritates us to the core.

We can see that among those people many of them didnt even make it permanent in S.Ve Shekar's troupe. That is the success rate of those people.

Dileep is one guy who was given enough chances by KB, Visu and other directors but still couldnt raise up.

Kovai Anuradha we see his names in The Hindu Drama section and we have seen him in the earlier days of Sun TV. Other than that nothing much.

One thing is for sure that these Drama's does help us to get out of our problems temporarily.
