I second that, I watched 2 clips of Prithviraj online and knew it was total crap.

I don't know about rAjasik and these sitcoms but one thing I do know is most of them are horrible, same saas-bahu story repeated a thousand times, used to piss me off big time in India when others in family watched them.

Most of them don't use proper special effects or have really cheesy acting, I watch movies and drama with any themes as long as they have good acting, my greatest drama rating goes to The Sopranos which was ultra violent and Goodfellas is up there in top 5 movies. But these Indian sitcoms really can't seem to get past the same old themes or Ekta Kapoor's ridiculous numerology (she has named it Kahani Mahabharat ki or somthing like all her other stuff which starts with k).

While I am not expecting much from this, hope that they at least approach the quality of the original Mahabharat.

While we are at this, I might as well mention that the overall story of Munnabhai MBBS seems to be a ripoff from Robin Williams "Patch Adams" from 1998 that I happened to catch on tv the other day:

Here is a trailer of this new Mahabharat:
