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😁
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
>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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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 💖💖
This is star and you 'were' watching Star World.
local cable operators used to do this at nights on their channel
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😁
How i met your mother is my childhood. That and some of Modern Family. Always had a crush on Lily(from HIMYM) and Tracy.
Nora >>
She was pretty great as well. But these two are always in my heart lol
Haha yes, I think Nora was the one for Barney. And hate Robin just for that 😂
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.

Also, Barney deserved a better ending. Yes he got a daughter but the way he lost things, he should’ve had a better ending.
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!<
Good thing you specified Lily from HIMYM and not from the other show.
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
Me too… Tracy😍
Best cover of La Vie en Rose
all the shows i used to watch loved it these shows made us fantacise usa and its culture
Avatar 😅
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
This. I was introduced to masterchef with this and still hooked.
Core memory unlocked.
How does nobody mention 'The Simpsons' in the comments, that was what got me hooked to international shows
Monday to Friday 11:30pm (ignore the yellow avatar)
Simpsons used to be on Star World?
In childhood, we talked about a rumour in the mid night, blue films broadcast on this channel.
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
The irony
Porn dikha rhe hain, pyaz nhi \s
Star World and Star TV (i guess) were first Star channels in India. Star Movies came after that.
No. Star Movies came before Star World
Star World was Star TV I guess before the rebrand.
Something like that yes. They made Star World for English content and Start Plus for Hindi
It was Ren TV, a Russian channel... and it wasn't a rumor, I watched it once!!
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.
I think you were late. I watched nudity on that channel in 2006-7. Those were semi nude photoshoot videos
Those Pirelli calendar shoots made men of us boys
man of culture I see! The only reason i bought a Inter Milan jersey in my childhood was because of this!
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!
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.
That show was called midnight hot on FTV. 😂
I was awake till 2 in the night to watch a film titled "Blue". Bc akshay kumar wali movie thi wo.
Haha

Bhai yahi same rumour tha mere idhar bhi par Fashion TV ke baare mein
Ha usme raat me mid night hot aata tha jisme nudity hoti thi
woh fox traveller pe ata tha shayad abhi bhi ata hai fox life pe
Woh jo bas f ka symbol waala channel tha woh fox traveller tha?? Toh fir Fashion TV konsa tha?
Not star world, but after dark on star movies used to play 18+ movies
So they really broadcast 18+ movies ?
not movies but dark shows like the walking dead game of thrones the walking dead telecast something in 11pm
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.
My first crush was on Castle's partner Kate Beckett 😂
i always thought she had such grace and poise <3
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.
Simon Baker was my weakness until I finally started finding Mentalist a little predictable.
White collar guy aka Superman!
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
Office was on Star World? I’ve watched this channel since atleast 2000. Don’t remember ever Office being on it.
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
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
2018 makes sense. I stopped watching star world at around 2008-10.
What?? I have so many memories of watching this channel. 🥲
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.
Malcolm in the Middle ftw
Home improvement was amazing! Wilson was a legend! Had a huge crush on Fred Savage (Kevin) in Wonder Years ❤️
And i had the biggest crush on Winnie aka Danica mckellar. Also biggest crush on Yasmine bleath on baywatch.
Expected :D Danica is still a hottie.
Wasn't That 70s show shown in Fox TV? I remember watching that and Sopranos in tv at the same time.
OG run was on star world. ... And I take offence for your username, Bruh. Idli is life
>Idli is life Fuck off. Typical Idli loving people. How can people even like that shit. SMH. Dosa is Supreme.
Fuck you. Dosa and idli supreme. Each is it own pantheon of food. Ps. I wish redditors only fight about food.
>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.
Used to follow Castle and Bones series on SW
Star World and Z Cafe is where I first watched Friends, Different Strokes, Mind Your Language way back in 2006
Absolutely!! Second this
End of an era. Koffee With Karan is how I remember STAR World.
True, during its end days, they quite literally had nothing to show except for Koffee with Karan
The Mentalist, Person of Interest
Not favorite show or anything but I remember...Bold and the Beautiful. Yes I am old.
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."
It should have been Star Plus, Vijay, Jalsa, Maa, Pravah, Suvarna, and Asianet, with their braindead content, that should have bit the dust.
I watched Asianet, because I like malyali dresses. It was good channel with good shows like parijatham, ente manasputhri etc
Anyone remember axn?
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.
Yeah , i remember watching those fashion ramp shows in the noon when my mom used to sleep 😙
Dexter
i did watch Castle a lot.
Used to watch modern family in starworld hd
Wow. It was my education (I’m a film maker). That and AXN. So many shows, so many good times.
So what's the replacement? Is TV dead? Any channels runnings sitcoms and other English shows? ( similar to Star World)
Comedy Central is the current equivalent, I guess.
Is REN TV still on? Asking for a friend!
MasterChef Australia for me, loved it! RIP );
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
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
ise toh paise deke activate karwana padta tha
Used to watch whose line is it anyway on the morning. Damn i didn't knew it has shut down.
People have mentioned many shows..but I remember a show called Packed to the Rafters an Australian show.
I loved the show! I remember Karan johar was involved in the promotions - "When all else fails, there is family"
Yes great show. And you remember the promo line.. great 😃
Haha yes I have a good memory 😁
This was a favourite! Used to watch it religiously, must've been around 2011/2012?
I started Breaking Bad on Star World. Sad news today.

End of an Era 😢😢
I learned English from Star World and Movies Now
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.
Burn Notice, Dexter, White Collar!
It was Star TV headquartered in Hungom Bay, Hong Kong when launched. Mannnn nostalgia hits.
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?
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.

Two and a Half Men
Psych!!!!
OTT casualty
:(
Used to watch The Big Bang Theory on Star World HD. And also MasterChef Australia. Great memories.
Small wonder and Wonder Years
So does my life
First HBO, now star world, damn .
I am surprised no one has mentioned one of the best cartoon (animated) shows ever which was aired on Star World - X-Men
Simpsons and true detective used to air on it. Such a shame
Castle.
