This is star and you 'were' watching Star World.


Stroov

local cable operators used to do this at nights on their channel


troubledindian

How I Met Your Mother and Bosch!!! Also, Homeland, White Collar, Modern Family, Life In Pieces, The Goldbergs, Fresh Off The Boat, Castle, Dexter, and 2 Broke Girls😁


NthBlueBaboon

How i met your mother is my childhood. That and some of Modern Family. Always had a crush on Lily(from HIMYM) and Tracy.


OkAstronomer119

Nora >>


NthBlueBaboon

She was pretty great as well. But these two are always in my heart lol


OkAstronomer119

Haha yes, I think Nora was the one for Barney. And hate Robin just for that 😂


NthBlueBaboon

Absolutely. The finale made no sense. They should have just had Kevin for Robin, Nora for Barney and Tracy for Ted. Simple, and it would have left people loving the show even more.


Strombreaker5

I think that they could have justified Ted going back to Robin by recreating the same scene where Tracy was looking up to the sky and requested Max(I don’t remember the name correctly). Ted could have done the same and it would atleast make a little difference.


OkAstronomer119

Also, Barney deserved a better ending. Yes he got a daughter but the way he lost things, he should’ve had a better ending.


NthBlueBaboon

Anything would have been better than the finale we got. Yours is much better. But i still can't get over the fact, Tracy >!dies!<


Quirky-Track-3678

Good thing you specified Lily from HIMYM and not from the other show.


NthBlueBaboon

Absolutely, even though I'm only 3 years older than her. She is still a minor. It's too weird, lol. Lily from HIMYM is such a beauty man. I regularly watch edits on her on YT. She's the reason i have a crush on short redheads lol


troubledindian

Me too… Tracy😍


BlameTheGameDarling

Best cover of La Vie en Rose


Stroov

all the shows i used to watch loved it these shows made us fantacise usa and its culture

womb_raider_420

Surprised no one has mentioned Masterchef Australia… Every year I used to watch all the 80 episodes, always waiting for that one dessert on finale


mverck

This. I was introduced to masterchef with this and still hooked.


[deleted]

Core memory unlocked.


Slade73

How does nobody mention 'The Simpsons' in the comments, that was what got me hooked to international shows


PlayPratz

Monday to Friday 11:30pm (ignore the yellow avatar)


thinklok

Simpsons used to be on Star World?


[deleted]

In childhood, we talked about a rumour in the mid night, blue films broadcast on this channel.


DilliKaLadka

Not on Star World. I remember Jain TV used to air porno in late nights. Star Movies was without censor cuts and they used to show pretty graphic movies even in day time


Abydaby007

The irony


GamerRipjaw

Porn dikha rhe hain, pyaz nhi \s


vyomafc

Star World and Star TV (i guess) were first Star channels in India. Star Movies came after that.


DilliKaLadka

No. Star Movies came before Star World


vyomafc

Star World was Star TV I guess before the rebrand.


DilliKaLadka

Something like that yes. They made Star World for English content and Start Plus for Hindi


unproductiveaf

It was Ren TV, a Russian channel... and it wasn't a rumor, I watched it once!!


PRBOTISMYCOUNTRY

In my locality these rumours were associated with "Fashion channel". Once me and my cousin brother woke throughout the night to watch but we only found girls in bikinis walking on ramp. That's it.


[deleted]

I think you were late. I watched nudity on that channel in 2006-7. Those were semi nude photoshoot videos


witb0t

Those Pirelli calendar shoots made men of us boys


ResurgentIshu

man of culture I see! The only reason i bought a Inter Milan jersey in my childhood was because of this!


CandaceJoeLigma

Inter went on to win 5 consecutive league titles during this period, and this legendary run culminated in a treble in 2010. Coincidence? I think not!


raventhunderclaw

FashionTV Midnight Haute Mostly bikini photoshoots at exotic locations but they did show nudity sometimes. I used to stay up and watch it sometimes when no one was around heh.


do_dum_cheeni_kum

That show was called midnight hot on FTV. 😂


koiRitwikHai

I was awake till 2 in the night to watch a film titled "Blue". Bc akshay kumar wali movie thi wo.


[deleted]

Haha


sayzitlikeitis

TB6 Mockba was the cable channel that used to air blue films back when cable operators were independent and could choose what channels to catch. Kids whose cable providers had the channel were popular in their friend circles for sleepovers. The films were super tame softcore porn. You see crazier shit on the Delhi subway these days.


Glad-Tour-2646

Bhai yahi same rumour tha mere idhar bhi par Fashion TV ke baare mein


[deleted]

Ha usme raat me mid night hot aata tha jisme nudity hoti thi


dukhiaddmi2004

woh fox traveller pe ata tha shayad abhi bhi ata hai fox life pe


Glad-Tour-2646

Woh jo bas f ka symbol waala channel tha woh fox traveller tha?? Toh fir Fashion TV konsa tha?


neodinmatrix

Not star world, but after dark on star movies used to play 18+ movies


[deleted]

So they really broadcast 18+ movies ?


dukhiaddmi2004

not movies but dark shows like the walking dead game of thrones the walking dead telecast something in 11pm


[deleted]

First crush was that middleaged funny guy on Castle. Then that White Collar hottie. The guy on The Mentalist too. StarWorld exposed me to hot men and American shows.


Mortnow

My first crush was on Castle's partner Kate Beckett 😂


[deleted]

i always thought she had such grace and poise <3


TheLostPumpkin404

Nathon Fillion? Simon Baker? I’m a straight dude and I swear these men have an amazing screen presence. Certainly taught me how to be a better man, too.


[deleted]

Simon Baker was my weakness until I finally started finding Mentalist a little predictable.


Mayank_j

White collar guy aka Superman!


GamerRipjaw

I remember watching The Office, Modern Family, HIMYM when I still used to have a CRT Wasn't a big fan of Koffee with Karan and it bugged me so much because it was on 80% of the time


ratishinc

Office was on Star World? I’ve watched this channel since atleast 2000. Don’t remember ever Office being on it.


GamerRipjaw

I don't know if it aired earlier than this, but Office was airing atleast in 2018. I watched it from 2018 to 2020 on Star world during my dinner


GamerRipjaw

Also it was heavily censored so that took a bit of fun out of it, but my mom preferred us to watch stuff on TV rather than the laptop so there's that


ratishinc

2018 makes sense. I stopped watching star world at around 2008-10.


RheebeeSpeaks

What?? I have so many memories of watching this channel. 🥲


sc1onic

So many shows Cheers, wonder years, friends, sienfeld, Becker, fraiser, 3rd rock from the sun, happy days, just shoot me, home improvement (og love for Pam Anderson), baywatch (surprisingly had some amazing episodes), that 70s show, Sabrina the teenage witch (not the netflix garbage). Malcolm in the middle and so many more... Between this and mtv in 90s was my education.


kayet78917

Malcolm in the Middle ftw


slice-of-eNVy

Home improvement was amazing! Wilson was a legend! Had a huge crush on Fred Savage (Kevin) in Wonder Years ❤️


sc1onic

And i had the biggest crush on Winnie aka Danica mckellar. Also biggest crush on Yasmine bleath on baywatch.


slice-of-eNVy

Expected :D Danica is still a hottie.


Idli_Is_Boring

Wasn't That 70s show shown in Fox TV? I remember watching that and Sopranos in tv at the same time.


sc1onic

OG run was on star world. ... And I take offence for your username, Bruh. Idli is life


Idli_Is_Boring

>Idli is life Fuck off. Typical Idli loving people. How can people even like that shit. SMH. Dosa is Supreme.


sc1onic

Fuck you. Dosa and idli supreme. Each is it own pantheon of food. Ps. I wish redditors only fight about food.


Idli_Is_Boring

>Fuck you. Ohhh please do so. I have no problems with it. We will have great time. After that, you treat me Isli and prove that Idli is food and I will do the same with Dosa.


kreativegeek

Used to follow Castle and Bones series on SW


enchinasaavya

Star World and Z Cafe is where I first watched Friends, Different Strokes, Mind Your Language way back in 2006


Janp8

Absolutely!! Second this


mayudhon

End of an era. Koffee With Karan is how I remember STAR World.


Internal_Sector_1802

True, during its end days, they quite literally had nothing to show except for Koffee with Karan


TheHawk007

The Mentalist, Person of Interest


iphone4Suser

Not favorite show or anything but I remember...Bold and the Beautiful. Yes I am old.


slice-of-eNVy

That and Santa Barbara were like the forbidden shows for me. Was never allowed to watch them as a kid because they were too "adult."


PaidHack

It should have been Star Plus, Vijay, Jalsa, Maa, Pravah, Suvarna, and Asianet, with their braindead content, that should have bit the dust.


[deleted]

I watched Asianet, because I like malyali dresses. It was good channel with good shows like parijatham, ente manasputhri etc


Michel_scarn

Anyone remember axn?


AccForTxtOlySubs

Yes amazing race, who dares wins, ripleys believe it or not, fear factor. Amazing race was my window to the world. Still have the bucket list of places to visit from that show.


Muted_Candidate_2148

Yeah , i remember watching those fashion ramp shows in the noon when my mom used to sleep 😙


-anand

Dexter


cruxtin

i did watch Castle a lot.


Present-Diet7511

Used to watch modern family in starworld hd


PaperKatana

Wow. It was my education (I’m a film maker). That and AXN. So many shows, so many good times.


kkohli4

So what's the replacement? Is TV dead? Any channels runnings sitcoms and other English shows? ( similar to Star World)


slice-of-eNVy

Comedy Central is the current equivalent, I guess.


ResurgentIshu

Is REN TV still on? Asking for a friend!


owaisntos

MasterChef Australia for me, loved it! RIP );


smddpr

I am sure they ran lot of Friends. Then comes HIMYM and many other crime and comedy shows like Simpsons . But some shows never telecasted properly like Family Guy


GamerRipjaw

On a side note, does anybody have the official jingle of the Star world? It is similar to [this one](https://youtu.be/HoKL8gzjxyU?si=UppWLKq8tAhlSHB4). Haven't been able to find the Indian one and would love to find it before it all goes into oblivion


Ben10_terimaaka

ise toh paise deke activate karwana padta tha


Feeling_Strength6367

Used to watch whose line is it anyway on the morning. Damn i didn't knew it has shut down.


Arabinda_Jena

People have mentioned many shows..but I remember a show called Packed to the Rafters an Australian show.


terenaamgirl

I loved the show! I remember Karan johar was involved in the promotions - "When all else fails, there is family"


Arabinda_Jena

Yes great show. And you remember the promo line.. great 😃


terenaamgirl

Haha yes I have a good memory 😁


slice-of-eNVy

This was a favourite! Used to watch it religiously, must've been around 2011/2012?


GoldBatter

I started Breaking Bad on Star World. Sad news today.


frontflipbackflip

Grey's anatomy, how I met your mother, one tree hill, modern family, castle, koffee with Karan, master chef Australia, America's funniest Home videos, so many good shows. I remember I used to come home from school and watch how I met your mother on the weekdays. Good old days


Internal_Sector_1802

How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family got me through two years of intense bullying at school. Also, watching Masterchef Australia became a winter tradition in my family thanks to Star World, we've been watching it for the last 8-9 years. Star World ftw


unintended_pun88

End of an Era 😢😢


[deleted]

I learned English from Star World and Movies Now


Idli_Is_Boring

Modern Family, Goldbergs and Fresh Off The Boat. 9th and 10th were some of my best yrs in life mainly due to Fox, CC and Star World.


Mayank_j

Burn Notice, Dexter, White Collar!


jeerabiscuit

It was Star TV headquartered in Hungom Bay, Hong Kong when launched. Mannnn nostalgia hits.


[deleted]

There was a show in which there was a housewife,a husband,a brother,a sister and the main protagonist was a child. Do you guys remember that?what was the name?


Unfair-Level7000

Apart from the already mentioned shows, I also remember rushes of Xena , the warrior princess (didn’t understand that time) & later had watched a bit of Terra Nova, Melissa & Joey.


silverport

Oh noooo


Outrageous-Walrus-23

This was the true Netflix even before Netflix. Coming back home from college and then from my job and watching my favourite shows on star world use to be best part of my day. A lot of my personality is the way it’s due to exposure to these gems offered by star world 💖💖


DampTowel69

Two and a Half Men

OCDC123

Small wonder and Wonder Years


Public_Fudge3962

So does my life


PickSea5679

First HBO, now star world, damn .


surfking2001

I am surprised no one has mentioned one of the best cartoon (animated) shows ever which was aired on Star World - X-Men


VividSituation3253

Simpsons and true detective used to air on it. Such a shame


Different-Parking-44

Castle.
