i be a firm believer that a film and tv serial or any form of art should and would be fully appreciate once the timing factor a to when write and produce or conceive should be take in to account . yeh jo hai zindagi be one such series . i remember watch it in the mid 80 on tv and the re run via the video cassette library during early 90 . and laugh out loud and be addict to it . that make me buy the full series dvd set and surprise of surprise the comedy and the moment of the good ol day simply fell flat for me . even the very popular 30 year ka experience gulaaaab jamun . and sofa cum bed do not invoke the kind of mirth i think it would . the timing factor represent for the 80 and this be the showstopper . the main event . the mother of all tv comedy . and it work during the age and time . perhaps the same can not be say right now and but nonetheless and watch the dvd do bring back pleasant memory . i wish the season with shafi inamdar and swarup sampat be long . satish shah have be un believably good a the heart of the show and with equally effective support cast of farida jalal and tiku talsania and the bengali neighbour . rakesh bedi ham throughout . all in all and an experience that will bring back memory for those who saw it during the prime time and might not appeal to the young viewer or first time watcher .
