following their international counterparts , indian shows had introduced the concept of seasons in their shows a while ago . but the formula has not really worked . barring a couple of exceptions , most of the shows that tried to renew their bond with the viewers after a break , a season break to be precise , failed miserably in terms of ratings .
the show used to air on colors channel a few years ago , and starred kunal karan kapoor and aakanksha singh in the lead . it wasn ' t much favoured by the audience to begin with , and why on earth did the makers went ahead with a second season will always be a mystery to us .
let us call a spade a spade ; hum paanch season 2 was a bummer . it lacked the charm of the first season , and its jokes were tired , and old .
gul khan ' s romantic drama starring barun sobti and sanaya irani in the lead was quite loved by tv buffs , but one can ' t claim the same thing about the show ' s second season , iss pyaar ko kya naam doon - - - ek baar phir , starring shrenu parikh and avinash sachdev .
jd majethia ' s sarabhai vs sarabhai had a small , but strong group of followers . it had not gained the views , but later it did gain a cult status .
the second season premiered recently as a web series on hotstar . but the fans do not seem very happy about it .
33 great episodes based on the vastly popular character in bengali literature of titular name , byomkesh bakshi is in many ways an indian take on sherlock holmes . compared to the older sherlock holmes tv series , i liked byomkesh bakshi a lot better .
despite the overacting and shoddy visual effects , it still remains the best made series about the epic saga of mahabharata . for its time and age , the show was very good , and as kids , we loved to watch the show and then follow it up with a q & a session with grandma about mahabharata . now that i think about it , she should be on quora . : )
r . k . narayan had a knack of connecting with the common man with his simple tales that conveyed a message . swamii was loved by all of us , and those were the wonder years when our family could sit together , enjoy a show and share some good laughs . these days - dad , brother and i take to our laptops while mom and grandma watch those horrible shows about daughter - in - laws of billionaire mother - in - laws , who apparently have nothing better to do than create chaos in each others lives . i may someday truly understand the joker , but i have no hope of understanding what drives these characters .
13 episodes of one of the best love stories i ' ve seen . simplistic story , accompanied with brilliant acting . add to that a sensitive issue of widow remarriages in india at that time . they treated the subject with the sincerity it needed and deserved .
who tried to do good science fiction shows in india way ahead of their time . despite their shortcomings they were a step in the right direction . it ' s sad that no one followed them .

i really don ' t watch much tv of late , spend more time on the net , but was quite a compulsive watcher during the 80 ' s and 90 ' s . honestly the surfeit of saas bahu serials , soap operas , reality shows put me off tv big time . but here are some great shows , that i rarely missed without fail , on tv .
this was the show that actually got me interested in quizzing . i always had this fascination for trivia and learning new things , but it was quiztime that made me a quizzard . and one of my ambitions was to do a quiz show on tv . i loved the format , the questions , and above all siddartha basu ' s style , cool , polished , dignified . i started going to quizzes regularly after this , represented my college , university in quizzing too . there were many others after this - alpha plus , university challenge , bournvita quiz , but nothing ever appealed to me the way quiz time did . and yes one of the best moments in life , was meeting siddartha basu on the sets of mastermind , and actually being quizzed by him .
that wonderful opening tune by vaidyanathan , with that tana , na , na , naa humming , was more than enough for me to be present in front of the tv set . and week after week , the antics of swami and his friends in the town of malgudi , was so delightful . having come from a south indian small town myself , and spending the holidays at my grandma ' s place , i could easily identify with the serial and the characters . kudos to shankar nag , for so wonderfully adapting , r . k . narayan ' s work to the small screen .
one of my all time favorites , and one of the best comedy serials ever on tv . shafi inamdar and swarup sampat as the urban , middle class couple , ranjeet and renu , and rakesh bedi as her brother in law , were brilliant , the jokes were superb , and more often than not , this was a chuckle fest always . adding to it , farida jalal as the chachi , satish shah in myriad roles , and the bengali couple next door , made it one laugh fest all the time .
a satire that just about spared none , from govt clerks to telephone operators to traders , jaspal bhatti ' s show , ripped apart the indian political class and society , using humor . sad that jaspal bhatti is no more with us , but would surely love to see a re run of this show , with the present , political , economic and social scenario in mind .
there have been umpteen mythological tv serials on indian tv , but for me none really has had the impact that b . r . chopra ' s mahabharat had . critics may call it tacky , over the top , whatever , i don ' t care . the fact is every sunday , it would be a must for me , to park myself in front of tv , to watch the latest episode of mahabharat . it also helped that it was one of my favorite stories , and watching them come alive on tv was something . and yes the opening song by mahendra kapoor , preceeded by that
karmanye vaadikarastheshu
hymn and the samay narration , all added to it ' s epic status .
this partition era drama of a family that is torn apart by the event , and their struggles at making a living in post partition india , was another favorite of mine . the characters of master haveli ram ( alok nath ) , lajoji ( anita kanwar ) , raliya ram ( girija shankar ) , their sons kulbhushan ( dalip tahil ) , roshan ( mazhar khan ) and satbir ( kanwaljeet ) , and how the partition caused a trauma in their lives , was always gripping and worth a watch .
guru , the street smart , toughie , kaderbhai the tea stall owner , hari the bicycle shop guy , khopdi the drunkard , ghanshu the beggar , the delightful characters of the street corner , their lives , their joys , their sorrows , their loves , a superb mix of humor , satire and drama , though it got overtly preachy at times . of course having kundan shah and saeed mirza as directors helped . mirza later made intezaar set in a village railway station with same actors , but it was not as good as nukkad .

this is the first show that comes to mind when you talk of indian television . made of epic proportions ( see what i did there ? ) , the show cost an astounding 9crore rupees ( approximately $ 1 . 6 million ) to make and ran for four years .
look at his face . doesn ' t he want you to just put your hands together and smile ?
) mahabharata was also the highest rated subtitled show on bbc uk . the show has been dubbed into multiple languages , aired in many countries with hindu population ( indonesia , malaysia etc ) , and is currently airing in fiji . the title song is one of the most recognized in india . the success of the show was such that the telecast of one episode was postponed to the evening rather than primetime sunday morning to ensure the central election was successful .
bqc is the quintessential indian quiz show . one of the pioneers of quizzing shows , the series received unprecedented success , running from 1972 till today ( although it was taken off air for many years in between ) .
this show proved to be the inspiration for many of today ' s avid
quizzers
and has been widely credited with improving the general knowledge of a generation of indian students . derek o ' brien is still very much considered the epitome of quizmastering .
a crime detective series that airs on sony , cid is the longest running tv show in indian history . the show has aired from 1998 and continues to enthrall audiences today .
the series has birthed a number of other successful spinoffs like chote heroes and special bureau . an 2004 episode titled
cid 111
set the guinness and limca records for the entire episode being the longest uncut shot on television . and of course , who can forget all the inspector daya jokes ?
the forerunner of all indian drama , shanti has received a cult status . it was the show that made mandira bedi a household name , propelling her to superstardom .
the series dealt with infidelity , dark pasts , illegitimate progeny , and every essential element in today ' s drama series . it was also one of the first mainstream tv shows to deal with rape as a central subject .
hosted by siddharth kak and renuka shahane , this cultural show ran from 1993 to 2001 . the show focussed on indian culture , and is widely credited to have brought into attention the folk dances and tradition of indian tribes .
the show holds the record for receiving the largest measured audience response ever in the history of indian television , to a weekly quiz question that required audiences to mail their answers by post . the particular episode that holds the record received a staggering 1 . 4 million letters in one week . the responses to this show also prompted the indian postal service to issue a new type of postcard called the competition postcard .
despite his amalagmation of powers from other existent superheroes ( he flew like superman and also had his own kryptonite in the form of a crystal , his alter - ego was a photo - journalist like spider man , he was comprised of nature ' s elements like captain planet , he could extend his limbs infinitely like mr . fantastic ) shaktimaan was the first indian superhero .
despite the villians and heroes being inspired from american classics , shaktimaan himself was meant to inspire children to be honest , caring , and loving . shaktimaan attained his powers through intense meditation and yoga . soon after the initial success of the show , reports began to surface that kids all over the country set themselves on fire or jumped from buildings in the hopes that shaktimaan would save them . this prompted mukesh khanna to spend time every episode to spread awareness to children about the nature of the show . khanna has since admitted that these segments sometimes talked about fictional instances involving children , aired to raise the trp .
puc was a tamil regional show hosted by uma maheshwari ( aka pepsi uma ) . it was a dial - and - request music show involving lot of interaction with the callers .
the show was the first to break away from formal women program anchors in tamil television , and bring in the bubbly , effervescent girl - next - door into homes across the state .
the best tv show has to be baa bahoo aur baby ! please name a show that has had such a perfect balance between comedy , emotions . drama , reality and most imp . perfect storyline and cast ! most of you will remember your moist eyes with a smiling face while watching this show . according to me the best show made ever is thus , baa bahoo aur baby . those unfamiliar with the show can watch it in hotstar !
baa bahoo aur baby with the right mix of comedy humuor had lots of big lessons to learn from .
yes one setback was vaishali aka pravina leaving but otherwise it touched all points an middle class indian family especially joint family must face in today ' s times .
firstly that backdrop in which they were so poor that for the sake of a mentally challenged brother they sat to eat with empty plates imagining food since they didnt have food to eat and couldnt see gattu crying for food .
and whilst juggling among all these and a irresponsible drunkard husband , baa ( godavariben thakkar ) forgets to give polio drops to her daughter radhika urf “baby”and the guilt she feels throughout her life refusing to even change her slippers silently punishing herself .
otherwise baa was so strong and responsible mother that she took care of all her sons and 2 daughters by selling tiffins day in and day out .
or the tough decision of throwing out her son dr . harshad just for rest of the family and the son who doesn ' t ask a question but leaves quietly the same night
an eldest brother , arvind , who laid down his career and life for his brothers and baa , his wife , a bhabhi ( sister - in - law ) to all his brothers who broke an fd in her name ( leela ) on 2nd day at her sasural to admit her devars ( brothers in law ) into a good school removing them from govt school and so many more heartwarming things potrayed .
it shows the true indian spirit which isn ' t there in many of us and certainly not in any indian show now . pls dont get me wrong but this is 25 % of the serial since the biggest philosphy for the serial is hope and it will give you a smile just as you are about to shed a tear . its full of comedy otherwise .
it was only bbb which haf its originally uploaded youtube episodes still remaining till 2015 for 10 years ( 2005 episodes ) . rest all serials have perished from youtube . although not completely but in essence baa bahoo aur baby had its almost all old episodes uploaded at given link with viewership of almost 35k - 50k ( check here -
it was the program that comprises videos of the latest songs in hindi film ( bollywood ) music .
chitrahaar is the longest - running film - based programme in the history of indian television , started in the 1960s .
, where hindi subtitles of the song ' s lyrics scroll across the screen . the idea behind sls is that people who are just learning to read would benefit by reading lyrics of the songs they are listening to and watching . it ' s an engaging way to promote literacy , especially in villages . this initiative of doordarshan has been technically supported by
that is based on the same film - music theme which was hosted by hema malini .
, software engineer | hates animated movies | reads a little , buys a lot .
who can forget this show . the show was about carlos , the bad guy with all the conspiracies against india , and col dhyanchand , the head of secret agents saving india against carlos and all other bad guys out there . col dhyanchand had some of the best secret agents including hardayal ( the turban and beard guy in the pic ) .
what was epic about this series was the great storyline , great acting skill of all the actors and the ever mindblowing ( literally ) special effects . who can forget the helicopter flying over the sea or the bomb blasts throwing people all over the sky .
thinking and writing about this series just makes me nostalgic . how we used to discuss each and every scene the next day in school . how we used to try and imitate hardayal and carlos ' dialogues .
sagar arts , i owe you this one for producing and screening this show . respect ! !
sad that the show had to end . all good things must end , they say : (
p . s if you see the guy next to hardayal , he is pointing finger instead of a gun . epicness ! !
there were the 90’s tv shows which were truly amazing , before the saas - bahu tirade , overly - scheming villains , and plastic surgery re - births hit our tv screens . lol , we remember watching shows in our not - so - flat - screen tv’s . turn the clock back and let’s go back to 90’s .
hum paanch was the most memorable sitcoms of the 90’s , do you remember the talking portrait of mr . anand mathur’s first wife and his struggles to manage his five daughters each of different nature and attitude , in a funny and entertaining manner .
hip hip hurray was very much popular amongst the audience especially the viewers of the younger age group the show dealt with issues faced by youth through the lives of its characters . hip hip hurray is definitely one of the best serials to have been made in india .
the three generations of diwan family living together in a bungalow having lots and lots of family melodrama . this serial was a real hoot . it remains to be one of the most beloved shows and we can’t help but remember it with much love .
the serial is an adaptation of r . k narayan’s works and follows the life of swami and his friends . the stories tug at the heart with its simplicity and bring to life the joys of simple living .
ramayana by ramanand sagar was the first ever mythological tv show based on lord rama’s life . the tv series became so much popular that people at that time used to wind up their all sorts of work before 9 pm just to watch this show .
one of the pioneered , oldest and longest dance reality shows hosted by the javed jeffery . this dance show started the trend for a dance competition for each different age group on indian television .
in the 90s , aahat was one of the top horror shows broadcasted on indian television which constantly haunted its viewers with mysterious and goosebump giving episodes .
one of the best comedy serials , whose jokes and dialogues still manages to bring smiles to the millions of faces .
this series is a must - watch for every indian or anyone interested in understanding history and politics of the nation that we see today . an actual game of thrones .
i have developed a fair amount of interest in indian politics off late - thanks to ak . i was watching a movie
the accidental husband
one day and in one of the scenes , uma thurman relies on her ability to say out loud the names of american presidents in order as a test of her being drunk or not . a thought popped inside my head
hell ! i could not do a similar thing even on the day of my history exam in school and even today i can ' t do it without google
. that ' s when i came to know about this series after a little research and have been enjoying every minute of it since then . it has piqued my interest to dig deeper into a lot of chapters of our history .
the series has been made in a very dramatic and thus interesting way - combination of re - enactments of conversations , interviews with concerned people , original addresses , narration , news - pieces from the past and thought provoking anchoring by shekhar kapoor . it is quite well paced without dragging the story and with every episode focussing on a very specific political scenario , covers the
story of today ' s india
fairly extensively in 26 episodes .
believe me , you would not regret even a single moment you spend watching this tv series . this series is definitely the solution , if not the answer , to the question
now , i must go back to watching an episode of it . : )
opening title song with flute music and r . k laxman ' s cartoons which creates huge impact from first second of each episode . the magical stories of r . k narayan and magical directors touch of shankar nag created a product which will stay in peoples heart for long time
whether it is swami ' s story or the vendor of sweets each of this episode is connected with common man like me . watching this tv series with family has different type of joy , believe me : )

when a tarantula paid a visit to stern ' s garage this week , it immediately felt like a reunion with a co - star from the 1990 film .
daniel stern was born in bethesda , maryland , to a social worker father and a day care manager mother . he has been acting professionally since the age of seventeen . following his high school graduation , he auditioned for the washington shakespeare festival seeking a job as a lighting engineer but ended up as
a strolling player with a lute
in . . .
the actor had been under the impression that he would be sharing the scene with a mechanical spider - but after the prop department created a replica they weren ' t convinced the gag would work .
daniel , i freakin love you man ! ! i still enjoy bushwhacked as an adult and watch it with my daughter now . can you share something about the making of bushwhacked that is little known ?
stern , 59 , told fans that he knew heard as far back as the early ' 70s , long before the movie for which both actors became best known .
' i was a little intimidated for the first time in the movie , ' stern admitted . ' the wrangler introduced me to
barry the tarantula
. '
stern directed several episodes of the wonder years and the 1993 feature film rookie of the year , and in recent years directed two episodes of the tv series , manhattan .
soon after news broke , heard ' s home alone co - star daniel stern took to social media to pen a touching and lengthy tribute to his longtime friend . it turns out that the two knew each other long before the wet bandits ever tried to break their way into kevin mccallister ' s chicago home . these former co - stars ' friendship first began in the ' 70s .
all men are artists . after all , they have their lives .
in just this way daniel stern opens his novel the rose rabbi , with an epigram that also serves as the story ' s thematic center , a terse , cryptic anchorhold that alone will finally make sense of the swirl of events that come to occupy wolf walker in the course of a day . yet the epigram as thematic center is characteristic throughout stern ' s fiction , revealing a central thesis at work in his aesthetic , whatever the story : life is always a problem in art . whether it be art as the cinema ( final cut ) , or the more practical sphere of urban planning ( an urban affair ) , or art as theater ( who shall live , who shall die ) , or art as language ( after the war , the suicide academy , and the rose rabbi ) , for daniel stern art as form is elemental , imposed on a world otherwise chaotic without it , a form that molds and makes sense finally of lives and predicaments , and renders what is the ultimate concern of all stern ' s fiction : redemption .
john heard was the coolest cat in new york city for about 10 straight years , 1974 - 1984 ,
stern , who also starred in city slickers , wrote .
wild - haired , dim - witted crook marv was played by daniel stern , who you may also recognise from city slickers and ' 80s favourites diner and c . h . u . d . he ' s also a director of note , calling the shots on 10 episodes of the wonder years ( a show he narrated ) , his own sitcom danny and feature film rookie of the year .
for the part of daniel plainview in there will be blood , he refused to speak to his co - stars off the set , and insisted on living in a tent on a deserted texas oilfield when the cameras stopped rolling .
' but i ' m going to be screaming in barry ' s face , ' stern told him . ' do you think he ' ll feel threatened by that ! ? '
personal life [ edit ] stern has been married to laure mattos since 1980 . together they have three children , two daughters : sophie and ella , and a son , henry .
the santa clara medical examiner’s office confirmed heard’s death , variety reports . tmz adds that the actor was found dead in his palo alto , california hotel room , just days after heard underwent minor back surgery , his rep said .
after heard invited stern to a showing of his 1977 movie between the lines , the maryland native realized that he , too , could end up on the big screen . in the early stages of his career , stern and his wife , laure mattos , were plagued by financial troubles . heard helped out whenever he could , often treating the couple to dinner and milkshakes .
stern was originally offered the role of dale gribble in king of the hill but the role was offered to johnny hardwick when a salary agreement could not be reached . [ citation needed ]
when daniel stern died this november 12th , we lost one of the truly greats in child development research and theory . daniel stern was a psychiatrist , an author and a researcher at what ' s now the weill cornell medical college and at the university of geneva , however the key to his greatness was not in his credentials , but in his vision . he had an uncanny ability to detect when child development orthodoxy was off kilter and in need of revision , of seeking the truth and then of finding highly imaginative ways to investigate his theory . impressively , he expressed his findings in words that often read like poetry . an example of this was the accepted worldview in the 1970s - - that infants were born without a sense of self - - that their experiences at birth were
fused
with their mothers - - and that their mission in growing up was to separate from their mothers , to become independent individuals . that view didn ' t seem right to stern and he set out to test it . when i once a . . .
in his last book , published in 2010 , forms of vitality , daniel stern deepened the topic of vitality , defined as “a whole . … it is a gestalt that emerges from the theoretically separate experiences of movement , force , time , space and intention” ( p . 5 ) , which represents a constant and underlying lived experience in the personal life as well in the relationship with others . however , vitality is mirrored also in artistic work ; a special example is the greek statue “the dancing satyr , ” loved by stern , because it transmits to the spectator a sense of vitality through the movement of the body .
in an image attached to the tweet , stern describes heard as “the coolest cat in new york city for about 10 straight years… every actor wanted to be as intense as him , every woman wanted to sleep with him . ” he writes that his friend had “crazy , crazy drink and drug stamina , ” and that “he was defiant , he was poetic , he was ridiculously generous and he was charismatic as hell . ”
now , worlds are colliding as the elder stern , 58 , rallies a - list backing for henry ' s run at the california state senate in the north valley ' s 27th district .
hi daniel , i loved you in c . h . u . d . i don ' t really have a question to ask besides saying i loved that movie . so . . . what is your favorite way to eat an egg ?
honesty , i don ' t know of rick moranis could play the more serious scenes like you did . not that rick isn ' t a great actor , but i think you really pulled off the sincerity and anger in city slickers .
' i hope i can show you without killing myself , ' he adds . stern then takes the paper and begins to wrap it all around the bucket , allowing him to safely turn it upright
thanks daniel ! merry christmas to you too ! ( home alone is one of my favorite , favorite holiday movies and my husband and i are excited to wear our
merry christmas , ya filthy animal
holiday sweaters once again this year : ) .
hi daniel ! dilbert is a criminally underrated tv show that has only gotten better with age . you did a great job of brining the character to life too . are there any challenges or notable experiences you can recall from working on that particular series ?
hi daniel ! you are amazing and i love your scream . that electrocution scene in home alone 2 must be one of my favorites . i wonder , have you seen this clip and would you consider appearing as cameo in any coming episodes ? ; )
hey daniel , i am a huge fan of home alone 1 and 2 , and i also loved rookie of the year ; all of those movies were part of my childhood , and i just wanted to thank you for being a part of them .
hi daniel ! i asked you in your last ama who would win an arm - wrestling contest : brickma or marv . this time , my inquiring mind wants to know : since they both live in chicago , what would they order on their pizza ?
for the past ten years , the london - born actor has led a resolutely reclusive existence , locked away on a remote 50 - acre estate in the mountains of county wicklow ( hence the former public schoolboy ' s recently acquired irish brogue ) .
he does admit , however , that a year after his father ' s death ( he is the son of former poet laureate cecil day - lewis , who died when daniel was 15 ) , he took an overdose of migraine tablets and received psychiatric treatment .
[ on working with sidney lumet on daniel ( 1983 ) ] lumet ' s a genius , an absolute genius . he ' s so professional . he knows exactly what he wants . everything works like clockwork and you ' re out of there in record time .
earlier today , e ! news reported that actor john heard had passed away in a palo alto , california hotel room on friday at the age of 71 . heard had been staying at the hotel while he was recovering from recent back surgery , variety reported .
the wrangler then revealed to stern that the spider ' s poison had not been removed but that he would be completely fine - as long as he didn ' t make any ' sudden , threatening moves ' .
happy birthday , macaulay . you have brought a lot of joy into this world , and i hope you celebrate all of your accomplishments today . love , d ,
stern wrote with the video on facebook .
his brother is david m . stern , a television writer . his father worked as a social worker and his mother was the manager of a day care . he married laure mattos in 1980 and has three children .
hello mr . stern . you ushered me into the world of comedy as a child so thank you for that . i have a question : can you describe what it was like making the two home alone films ?
hi daniel ! would you ever consider coming to various comic cons ? i know it ' s mostly nerd culture stuff but with home alone being such a cult classic , i think it would be great to see you and maybe other home alone cast attend . happy hanukah marv !
“but nothing was more intense than john’s performance in life [ sic ] , ” stern concludes . “he lived it hard , fast and fearlessly… . he was a friend and a brother and a legend in his time . ”
stern ' s character marv came face - to - face with the spider in the film as he tried to rob kevin mccallister ' s chicago home with his partner - in - crime harry , played by joe pesci .
thanks to the success of the film , heard would be referred to on the street as “home alone dad , ” even though the actor’s résumé logged dozens of tv and film credits over the ensuing decades , including roles in my fellow americans , awakenings , in the line of fire , pelican brief , pollock , sharknado and an emmy - nominated reoccurring role as a duplicitous detective on the sopranos . most recently , heard appeared on the fox police drama apb , although the actor was set to appear in the film last rampage that’s due out in september .
daniel stern : well , the play is just a beautiful , elegant story . it’s kind of a puzzle that you have to put together , and laurie just blows it out of the water . she’s just freaking dynamite . i just love being onstage with her . the play is beautiful . the production is fantastic , too . the set and the sound and the lights and all that really kind of get you inside that frame of mind a little bit . that shattering mind . i just think it’s great .
by colwyn trevarthen daniel n . stern , a new yorker , died in november 2012 after a long illness . a distinguished child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst and a world - famous developmental psychologist , he transformed ideas of human nature in infancy and he made important contributions to his last days . he gave us a theory of how we create and share imaginative stories by rhythmic movements , which he called ‘forms of vitality , ’ a domain that draws satisfaction and regulation from all sensory modalities in a consciousness of movement , and which , “distinct from the domains of emotion , sensation , or cognition , ” gives life to all our ventures . daniel stern as a child dan was , by his own account , observant of people . when he was seven years old , he saw that non - verbal expressions of a baby that were clear to him could be invisible to a talkative parent . he conceived the idea of two languages , one of which , awareness of embodied movement , may become dismissed with age . after studies at . . .
i don ' t have too much to say other than i really enjoyed having a very distant association with you and your family as a young child and i ' ve followed your career religiously as an adult . you are an extremely talented actor and i remember you very fondly .
hi daniel . i ' m curious about the wonder years . it was a great show and a very successful show . when the show started , did you have any idea it would take off the way it did ? also , how much interaction did you have with the on - camera actors ?
merry christmas again , ya filthy animals . the holiday started early for
home alone
fans this year when macaulay culkin reprised his movie role this month in the new web series
dryvrs .
in culkin ' s video , kevin mccallister has become a deranged killer out to stop home invaders , and now one of the home invaders who made him that way is freaking out about it . actor daniel stern , who played marv in
home alone ,
recently posted a video reprising his movie role to respond to culkin . in video , marv calls for his old partner and fellow wet bandit , harry , to come find him . he ' s seen what kevin mccallister has become . and he ' s terrified . will harry , aka actor joe pesci , come to marv ' s rescue ? if not , getting hit in the head with paint cans is the least of his worries . see culkin ' s original video here . also on huffpost : - - this feed and its contents are the property of the huffington post , and use is subject to our terms . it may be used for personal co . . .
together , these studies seem to echo stern’s ( 2010 ) proposition that the multimodality of sensorimotor experience is a cornerstone for the emergence of a vitality form . by opposing damasio’s ( 1999 ) view , stern ( 2010 ) claimed , in fact , that “instead this integration occurs in the sensorimotor system . this suggestion has similarities to the idea of vitality form arising as an emergent property of gestalt from different sources , except that they suggest where this emergence may occur” ( p . 49 ) .
after the news of the emmy nominee’s death broke over the weekend , just days after he reportedly underwent minor back surgery , many media reports referred to him as “ home alone actor john heard . ” stern , however , admitted in his letter , “what’s funny is i never remember that john is even in that movie . i’ve only ever really watched it once , and he and the family were all so great in it . but we never had any scenes in it together and we only crossed paths on the set once or twice . ”
, stern follows with two novels in the surrealist vein that take the matter further by illustrating the idea we can even create in the present the memory needed for just the necessary sense of making life as aftermath something purposeful . thus the wolf walker of
stern credits heard with introducing film acting to him as a possible career path . “john was the very first person i knew to be in a movie , ” he writes . “it had never crossed my mind that that was a thing you could do . ” stern says heard also taught him how to act in films : “when i got my first movie , ‘breaking away , ’ the only thing i really knew about film acting was what i had learn [ sic ] from watching him do it . ”
his personal life is and has been as perfect as him and his career . he was dating his girlfriend laure mattos before the couple decided to get married and live happily as husband and wife . the couple got married in the year 1980 and till now there have been no real rumors of their divorce . he is not gay at all as he has children too . he has a total of three children and their names are ella marie stern , henry stern and the last one is sophie stern . he is not at all cheating on his wife and this means he is not dating any other women or having an extra marital affair . he is a great husband and a great father too . he makes sure that all the wishes and demands of his children are fulfilled .
“we were amazed that he had that kind of cash to throw around , ” the diner actor wrote . “it was so sweet over the years to have our family and home become a place of ‘normalcy’ in john’s otherwise frenetic life . he so loved having his ‘kid brother’ do good and thrilled at our kids’ accomplishments . ”
stern ' s letter also went on to praise his
riveting
theater performances , but added that ,
nothing was more intense that john ' s performance in life . he lived it hard , fast and fearlessly . he was a romantic and raconteur .
he has emerged to make just four films in the past decade , including his latest role as a violent oil prospector in there will be blood , which won him a golden globe this week ( hence this rare appearance in los angeles ) , has been nominated for a bafta , and is tipped to earn him a second best actor oscar .
hey daniel i used to watch home alone and bushwhacked a lot when i was younger they were some of my favorite movies . i wanted to start off by thanking you for a great and funny childhood and then ask if you could pick any movie to be in today what movie would it be ? like a dream role you would have loved to do .
though not explicitly working in the field , the younger stern understands the importance of the entertainment industry to the district . he worked with his father and other hollywood elites to help pass the 2014 film tax credit that would allow for more film and tv the be produced in los angeles .
so obsessed is day - lewis with practising his new skills as a carpenter that he admitted , in a rare interview this week , that his nine - year - old son ronan ( the couple also have another boy , five - year - old cashel ) thought , until recently , that his father was not an actor but worked on a building site .
the goal of the present article is to deepen the theme of vitality , the topic of daniel n . stern’s last book , forms of vitality , published in 2010 , which further conceptualized the vitality affects originally proposed in his book the interpersonal world of the infant , published in 1985 . vitality forms characterize personal feelings as well dynamics of movements . they are therefore related to feelings of agency and efficacy , and may be shaped and influenced by early interactions between caregivers and infants . in this ambit , infants experience a sense of personal efficacy and a hedonic pleasure when they are recognized and confirmed by their caregivers . the interactional perspective is further discussed considering psychoanalytical contributions and recent infant research . however , vitality , as stern ( 2010 ) highlighted , is grounded in the body and more specifically in the brain . from a neurobiological perspective , we discuss the role of mirror neurons by considering inter subjective exchanges and infantile matching experiences , which influence the sense of vitality .
the early eighties also found heard in prominent roles in films like c . h . u . d . , cat people and martin scorsese’s after hours , where the actor played a seemingly sympathetic bartender . toward the end of the decade , heard found his niche giving depth to supporting roles , whether as tom hanks’ nemesis in big or bette midler’s husband in beaches .
in his lengthy post , stern , 59 , told fans that he knew heard as far back as the early ’70s , long before they costarred as wet bandit marv merchants and patriarch peter mccallister , respectively , in the 1990 christmas film and its 1992 sequel , home alone 2 : lost in new york .
“nothing was more intense than john’s performance in life , ” stern concluded . “he lived it hard , fast and fearlessly . he was a romantic and a raconteur . he was as loyal and generous as they come . he was a friend and a brother and a legend in his time . rip john . ”
born august 28 , 1957 , in bethesda , md ; brother of david m . stern ( a television writer ) ; married ; wife ' s name , laure ; children : henry , sophie , ella marie . education : studied acting at hb ( herbert berghof ) studio ; studied acting with austin pendleton .
[ in 1983 ] i remember after graduating high school i got a part in a play with the washington shakepeare festiva , a little part . but i remember thinking , this would be a great way of making a living . . . to be an actor . i never really thought i ' d make a lot of money at it . i knew i wanted to act when i was around 14 . the only other thing i can really remember wanting to do besides acting was a gas station attendant . at the time that seemed like a great job - wash the windows , pump the gas - it looks so cool coming home with black hands . there ' s a natural transition , from wanting to be a gas station attendant to being an actor , right ?
though he hasn ' t been prolific in terms of acting roles - whip it and the next three days are his highest - profile recent offerings - stern was given the president ' s ' call to service award ' by barack obama for voluntary work . clearly an upstanding citizen , he ' d leave marv merchant completely baffled .
in his last book , stern ( 2010 ) raised issues regarding the topic of vitality , which characterized his previous research on infant–mother relationships . outlining human relationships and interactions from birth , including the interactive rhythm and the synchrony , stern created a real lexicon which describes the world of human relationships . however , the most relevant experience in the first months of life , at the base of the theoretical construct of vitality , is the concept of vitality affects , to which stern ( 1985 ) dedicated some dense and complex pages in his book the interpersonal world of the infant . stern ( 1985 ) was conscious of the complexity of the concept of vitality affects , so he tried to define the meaning as “elusive qualities ( which ) are better captured by dynamic , kinetic terms” ( p . 54 ) . while humans are accustomed to experiencing everyday categorical and discrete affects , from joy to distress and disgust to wonder , widely explored by psychological research , infants’ vital feelings have a specific status—in fact , they appear very early in life when infants begin to experience pleasure and displeasure , fundamentally connected to somatic states . what is typical of vitality affects is the close connection with the vital processes of the body , such as breathing , sleeping , and rising and declining of emotions , which represent a real impingement of the organism in the personal experience . infants , in their early stages of development , integrate all these aspects and begin to recognize , define , and give meanings to these processes . a typical aspect of vitality affects is the contour of emotional activation as “they are experienced as dynamic shifts or patterned changes within ourselves” ( stern , 1985 , p . 57 ) .
