TV Serials ...
I am writing this as I watch a re-run of Seinfeld which is one of the most successful shows of all time. There are re-runs of Seinfeld on atleast one channel at every point of time during the day.
These shows like Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends are probably so successful as re-runs because there is no real reference to external events, which in a sense makes them timeless. In addition, there is no “END”, so you can watch the episodes in random order, and even if you have already seen the final episode.
Popular shows from today, like The Apprentice, American Idol and Survivor are great too, but I wonder if they would be as successful as re-runs considering that once somebody has seen the final episode and the suspense is lost, watching the earlier episodes is sort of pointless ….

And just for mentioning Seinfeld, you have warranted more vists from me ;-)
Nice blog esp the cuisine. You prob want to explore ethiopian cuisine too, their spices are very similar to ours.
