It's hard to find any other TV serial that matches Flop Show in its comic content. Each scene of the show has some unique and genuine comic value. This TV serial was made before the era of background laughter, so the laughter cues are very subtle. And the comedy itself is not forced, as other reviewers have already mentioned. But for me, the greatest strength of the show is how Jaspal Bhatti develops each character. For a 20 minute odd episode and each episode having minimum 7 to 8 main characters, you don't feel that any character was less developed or not required. In fact, you can identify with each character instantaneously. Vivek Shauq stands out in this regard. In every episode he adds his own unique flavor to each character. It's a shame that he didn't do well in Bollywood.
