Vote for best Doordarshan Serial of old times This is the big list of Old Doordarshan TV shows and serials. Other popular programs included Hindi film songs based programs like Chitrahaar and Rangoli and crime thrillers like Karamchand, Byomkesh Bakshi, Tehkikaat and Janki Jasoos.
The characters of Ramayan and Mahabharat were almost worshiped like God and Goddess throughout the country. Those were phenomenal days when people gathered in crowds to watch the telecast of these serials.
Circus, Gul Gulshan Gulfam and Nukkad are some of the serials that come instantly to my mind when I think of the good old days of Doordarshan. The 80s was the era of Doordarshan with soaps like Hum Log, Buniyaad and comedy shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi which made Doordarshan a household name.
