Who remembers that show?

I used to watch it with family back in the mid 1990’s, it was one of the most loved shows on PTV. Somehow I stumbled upon this 1983 interview of Tariq Aziz (10:00) on youtube the other day:

.. so just out curiosity, I googled him to see what he was up to these days and I was surprised to find out the show is still ongoing It’s now called Bazm-e-Tariq Aziz and has been running for over 40 years! I loved wikipedia’s collection of popular phrases from the show, they all rang a bell!

Ibtada ha rab e jalil ka babarkut naam say jo dilon k bhaid khob janta hai!
Dekhti ankho aur suntay kano apko Tariq Aziz ka salam pohnchay!
Ghalati ra gunjaish nishta!
Yeh water cooler aap ke sath jayega! (A popular expression even on GS! )
Watan-e-aziz ko dua

Anyway, is the show still as popular in Pakistan? I watched a little clip of a recent telecast and, as expected, he’s so much slower now with age. Not as energetic as he used to be. And omggg why is there 5 minutes dedicated to crappy lollywood singing???

It used to be such an awesome, no nonsense show… I won’t be surprised if no one watches it today.

Thanks for digging out the Noor Jahan episode. Can’t wait to watch it. :k:
