Long before the idiot box got that name, it used to show meaningful, relatable and funny content. Much before Comedy Nights With Kapil and Comedy Circus became famous, the big daddies of Indian comedy shows had already taken the genre to another level. They left a legacy that just can't be replaced by any other show. Here are 11 Indian comedy shows from the past that we would love to see again:

Dekh Bhai Dekh

Dinner time was incomplete without the Diwan family. We could actually relate with the characters played by the handsome Naveen Nischol, the elegant Farida Jalal, the adorable Shekhar Suman and the rest of the cast.

Quick fact: DBD was produced by Jaya Bachchan.

Zabaan Sambhalke

After Dekh Bhai Dekh ended, its prime time slot was taken by Zabaan Sambhaalke, which did equally well. Pankaj Kapoor’s impeccable acting and dialogue delivery, mixed with characters from different states, worked well with the Indian audience.
