Indian Sitcoms have always been appreciated since the Doordarshan times. The All India official dinner time was adjusted to the sitcoms.
There have been comedy serials that have gone beyond the general entertainment and have left a Forget me Never mark over the Indian masses in the nation as well as globally.
