Bigg Boss, Colors
The second season of Bigg Boss turned out to be much better than the first, with newsmakers like Rahul Mahajan, Monica Bedi, Jade Goody and Raja Chaudhary thrown into the house. Controversial elements like Rahul giving a massage to girlfriend Payal Rohatgi, Raja Choudhary and Sambhavana Seth hurling abuses at each other, and wild card entry Diana Hayden's chemistry with the eventual winner Ashutosh Kaushik made the show very interesting.

Ramayana, NDTV Imagine
Anand Sagar's Ramayana was a welcome diversion from today's soap operas, and became an instant hit. The Sagar family, which scored television's biggest triumph in the 1980s with the first Ramayana, takes you back to the story of Rama in a new spectacular way.

India's greatest epic was retold on an epic scale, and even dubbed for audiences down south.



Gurmeet Choudhary made Ram perfect while Debina Bonerjee's strong portrayal of Sita was praiseworthy.



Surprisingly, Ekta Kapoor's take on the other epic -- in her show called Kahaani Hammaray Mahabharat -- did not fare as well.
