Classic TV shows draw audiences old and young on streaming platforms

Classic TV shows—both Indian and foreign—that aired during the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s, showcasing goofy charm, daily struggles as well as aspirations, continue to draw audiences on streaming platforms.

While the primary audience for all-time favourites such as FRIENDS and Seinfeld or closer home, Karamchand, Shriman Shrimati, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Humlog, Malgudi Days and Bharat Ek Khoj, are the older audiences who are familiar with the originals, these cult classics are now also getting discovered by younger viewers who have heard of them over the years, experts and entertainment industry executives said.
