Television 2007: The best moments

Reality shows
Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Indian Idol and Star Voice of India gained even more popularity than previous years. In fact, they were such a hit that big Bollywood releases used the platform to promote the films.
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa was popular because it had participants from different parts of the country, as well as abroad, and showcased real talent. The participants were trained by their respective mentors -- Himesh Reshammiya, Ismail Darbar, Vishal-Shekhar and Bappi Lahiri.
The show was also spiced up with regular fights among the mentors.
The third season of Indian Idol seemed to unite the country, and bring the North-East into focus. Winner Prashant Tamang hailed from Darjeeling while Amit Paul hailed from Shillong.
Star Voice of India showcased quality singers and was judged by Jatin- Latin, Aadesh Shrivastav, Alka Yagnik and Abhijeet.

Dance Shows
Celebrity dance shows like Nach Baliye 3 and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 2 were enjoyable, and both shows ended controversially.
Rakhi Sawant and boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi lost out to Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Sheikh, and made quite a fuss about it.
In Jhalak, Prachi Desai and her choreographer partner Deepak won the title, even though runner-ups Sandhya Mridul and Javed received a standing ovation for their performance.

Comedy Circus
Audiences, seemingly tired of daily soaps, lapped up the reality comic shows as well.
Comedy Circus paired up telly actors and professional stand-up comedians, and they were expected to entertain people. The best part of the show was that the pairs did not have a script at all, and yet, provided a lot of laughs.

Left Right Left
Left Right Left was not like the regular saas-bahu soaps, and was quite a refreshing watch.
The serial was a mix of intrigue, romance and humour.
