S01E01 - The One Which Is First

Have read a lot of such titles while downloading sitcoms from the internet, so thought of giving my first blog a similar title!

Btw, before I continue, s01e01 stands for Season One Episode One, another unique feature of the way Americans like to title their sitcoms.

Friends has been my first stint with US sitcoms. Wasn't really into watching anything else but Cartoon Network till my late school days. Then it slowly moved to the then called Star Plus (must be something around 1995) which had very early morning shows (5:30 am) of Batman & Robin, Spiderman and G.I. Joe. Attended my morning school after this meant I could come home and watch Centurians and Swat Kats on Cartoon Network. Studies followed after this, and again some more TV in the early evening, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Star World, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and Diff'rent Strokes on other channels (dont really remember the name of the channel, i think it was Sony and Home TV). Then went away for a tiresome (and sometime injurious) play-time sessions of Sankli and Chor-Police. Coming back home for dinner was a very difficult decision for me every night, but then got to watch Dekh Bhai Dekh on Sony and Shreeman Shreemati along with and after dinner, and sometimes late night episodes of Malgudi Days both on DD National.

Just a blurry image of what I remember of my good ol' days back then
