The shows that kept us glued to the television

The way people watch television has evolved over time, and it’s both fascinating and boring. Why boring? Wait. Don’t judge us just yet because we said boring. We’re here to discuss the shows that ran for a while but eventually ceased to exist.

Here are some shows that were a major hit at their time and then just went away. If you’ve watched any of the, you would definitely relate and go nostalgic wondering where did these shows go, and why are there not more re-runs of them!

Takeshi’s Castle

In this epic show, numerous competitors engaged in a range of physically demanding tasks in an effort to storm Takeshi’s Castle and take home the top prize. While the show is from Japan, this was run on POGO in India and it was funnier as the show had commentary by Javed Jaffery- who is an Indian actor.

This show was truly amazing and made ROFL come true for many!

M.A.D

M.A.D. stands for “Music, Art, and Dance” was a children’s television program produced in India. Pogo TV carried this Miditech-produced program. It had seven seasons and debuted in 2005. Being an independent production, Rob was the show’s primary director and host (Harun Robert). He demonstrated how to create many simple and challenging but cool arts.

He was joined by a few co-anchors. In 2010, the series came to an end. Following the success of the program, Rob launched the “Mad Stuff with Rob” YouTube channel.

Mr. Bean

Rowan Atkinson played the title role in British comedy series Mr. Bean, which was created by Atkinson and Richard Curtis. The sitcom’s 15 episodes were co-written by Atkinson, Curtis, and Robin Driscoll; Ben Elton also contributed to the pilot. The first episode and “The Best Bits of Mr. Bean” was initially aired on ITV, which started showing the show on January 1, 1990.

The series follows Mr. Bean as he tackles various problems brought on by everyday activities. Atkinson has referred to Mr. Bean as “a toddler in a grown man’s body.” Atkinson initially developed Mr. Bean while he was working toward his master’s degree at the University of Oxford.

Legends of the hidden temple

American action-adventure TV game show Legends of the Hidden Temple aired on Nickelodeon from 1993 to 1995. The software, which was created by David G. Stanley and Stephen Brown, involved a fictional temple, containing buried treasures guarded by enigmatic Mayan temple guards. The show’s hosts Kirk Fogg and Dee Baker served as both an announcer and the voices of a stone head named Olmec that knows the hidden meanings of every artifact in the temple.

Six teams of two kids each (Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas, Green Monkeys, Orange Iguanas, Purple Parrots, Silver Snakes) compete to take one of the historical items from the temple by putting on physical feats and responding to questions on geography, mythology, and history.

Art Attack

Another British show, art attack was a show that kept kids intrigued. Hosted by Lloyd Warbey on Disney Junior, the children’s television show Art Attack first aired on CITV from 1990 to 2007 and was formerly hosted by Neil Buchanan.

The majority of the original ideas for the program came from Buchanan, who also authored and produced it. The show had a good viewership as it showed new art makings from old products. The show also had a big art painting at the end.

BRB! Nostalgia is hitting hard! Hang on to the weekend and maybe rewatch these show episodes again, instead of binge-ing on the new one’s today.
