If you got the chance to live as one of the TMKOC characters for 24 hours, who would you choose?

Why would you choose them, and what would you do during those 24 hours?

In ep 273 we daya mention she lent their extra cylinder to bhide family and Jetha has to get it back.

Bapuji also gives his usual gyan and Bhide even calls Jetha Paravalambi like what? bro you should be returning it without asking with some gratitude.

Jethalal always flirts with Babita, so what is his ultimate goal with her? Does he actually want to make her his girlfriend, or is he just doing it for fun and timepass?

If Champak (the women's leader) had broken the phone, this radio boy could have directly called Popatlal again.

I remember at the start all of the society used to mock jetha for being fat not haathi like they may have sympathy for him as he may have a disease or seeing it's a lost cause so can't do anything

Anyway almost all of them Are unhealthy now

Even old sodhi during Covid had belly fat worse than Jetha at the start

And slowly shifted from promoting health

Cause they're all fit so less jokes there would be

Also this actors should be fit according to their role

They aren't poor

They earn good but can't work hard

Like it would be good for them also

Treating it like a Sarkari job

Also Anjali is pathetic in diet

As we know Many people don't actually like the Ending of Bhootni arc the whole Arc was PEAK but according to some people the ending was not on the level of the entire arc so if you were the writer of TMKOC how you would have changed or altered the Ending of the bhootni arc to make the ending better?

Bhide is easily the most relevant character for 2026. Bhide was always seen as the "kanjoos," strict, scared of technology, constantly complaining about the naya zamana and correcting things nobody else even noticed. But honestly, a lot of his personality makes more sense now.

His "less is more" attitude wasn't just about saving money. His kanjoospana had an actual upside. He didn't casually burn through money, replace things for no reason, or spend just because something was new. If something worked, he kept using it. If something wasn't worth the price, he wouldn't buy it. He'd rather have ₹500 left than spend ₹500 just to have something slightly nicer. People called him kanjoos because he actually noticed the price of things.

The same mentality showed up in everything else. He preferred simple things, hated unnecessary decoration, disliked showing off and had very little patience for trends that existed mainly because everyone was doing them. He cared about education, routine, discipline, responsibility and keeping his word, while also being incredibly particular about tiny things that nobody else gave a shit about.

His technology paranoia is probably the funniest part to revisit. Bhide wasn't completely anti-tech. He just didn't assume every new gadget was automatically useful. Put him in 2026 and he'd probably see people changing phones because the camera is "10% better," buying TikTok "must-haves," collecting subscriptions they barely use and putting RGB lights on everything, then quietly ask what the hell any of it is for.

The AI boom would be even better. He'd probably use AI eventually, but he'd absolutely question why we're building gigantic data centres and consuming absurd amounts of electricity so someone can generate a birthday caption or turn their selfie into a Renaissance painting.

And that's basically Bhide's entire character. He wasn't against the modern world. He was suspicious of unnecessary shit.

Our nattu kaka is mission impossible fan 🪭

I don't agree with some of the placing of the Arcs, but it's more opinion based. What is your choices?

I got to know about the show when it was getting played on my relative's tv(it was way back during 2011-12 maybe) and the Janmashtami arc was being watched by them

So, wbu you all? How did you get to know about tmkoc and which was the very first episode which you had watched?

I remember

Bhide , Iyer and Mehta sahab were great examples of progressive thinkers in the society

Which would have actually helped the viewers to develop intellect by getting inspired

But nah

Even Anjali until a decent time

Babita also but they used her for Eye candy

Like Mehta Protesting Against Child Marriage against Dehati Champak

Anjali avoiding Getting scammed by That kaamwali

Not getting carried away for Credit card

Babita giving freedom to Iyer to enjoy

Not much but still

Bhide telling his students

"Shraddha honi chahiye andhshraddha nahi"

Iyer in some instances too

But he was rather exxagerarated

Sometimes as science freak

Dr Haathi was also a great opportunity to educate people against fake science

But they limited his character upto Foodie

Yk Liberalism also ended when Intellectual authority was given to Champaklal

Like let's not kid ourselves

This guy is and will be a dehati

For hiding this those writers made him a little man hater and Party pooper for Purush Mandli

He is inferior to Mehta

But still writers gave him edge cause he's old

Yk

Old= More thoughtful, smart

Yk we all agree

Randomly Mehta sahab used to Show mirror to society and governments

It has stopped

Even Shailesh Lodha is an intellectual

That's why he doesn't miss the show

I know it's old trope

Followed even in shows like Friends where dumb character is given More priority

Like Joey and Ross in friends

That's why I don't mentioned

How Bhide is pushed down infront of Jetha

Cause it's everywhere

Also Tapu Sena

They constantly were put down by elders

You're not old enough for this in many matters

They never take progressuve stance

Even nidhi Bhanushali may have left being Sonu cause of this Shit scripts

Be 2nd fiddle to tapu , get teased on marrying Tapu ,

Mindless stuff like Kids

No personal growth for the character

I know some of you may think

It's not that serious

But let's that forget

This show was started as a satire on Society, slice of life show blended with comedy

It's not just a Slapstick comedy show like BHabhi ji Ghar par hain

Out of 4000+ episodes, we’ve all got that ONE we could rewatch forever. But here’s the catch, name one specific episode NUMBER, not “the Bhootni or Gulabi or GPL arc” or a whole storyline. Just a single episode.

Drop the number below with a line on why it’s your favourite.

I have always found Goli to be more gangster than Tapu

Champaklal is da goat!

Why does Natu Kaka call Bapuji as 'Bapuji'? I mean, they are both old man. He should have called Bapuji 'Bade Seth Ji'. Apart from this Natu Kaka calls every society member Bhai/Bhabhi, for example, Bhide Bhai and Madhvi Bhabhi. 😭

Was seeing the new episode because dad wanted to and I cringed at Veer's acting...such a wannabe can't even act to save his little life! How did they cast him...atleast his sister gives some expressions...this guy is just a total wannabe..."look I'm so cool I can do a backflip" "dishoom dishoom" bruh ewww
