Before the iPad or even before the Internet, Lebanese were all connected through the same shows that they watched religiously. For many of us, they defined our childhood and our nation. They were so powerful that more than a decade later, these shows are as embedded in our memory as the national anthem is ... or maybe just the first part of the anthem.
1. Maria Mercedes
Dubbed from Spanish to Arabic, Maria was surely a pioneer.
2. Taaish w Tekol Ghayra
Probably the person that has been slapped the most times on national television ...
3. The Bold and the Beautiful
Believe it or not, this show is still rolling ... and so are our eyes!
4. Al Asifa Tahob Maratein
The show that introduced us to Fady Ibrahim in all states and from every angle ...
5. Mr. Bheem
The name says it all ... no Comment ...
6. Sl-Chi
How can we ever forget Fadia, Pipo and Aamo Youssef, Amin Aameen and Teta Rosanna?
7. Morico TV shopping

8. Abraj Maa Maguay Farah
New Year's Eve plans always revolved around that one hour segment where Maggy Farah would predict our fate for the next year.
9. Mini Studio
Insert Noise: “Miniiiii Studioooooooo ..." Make it STOP!
