There are very realistic and relatable situations and story lines that transform into a farce via comedy of errors and where everything that can go wrong does in the life of Jethalal. There is such a broad range of comedy in the series. I find rest of the characters pretty one-note, but really great as supporting roles. There's also Nattu Kaka who works at Jethalal's electronics shop. Another prominent character is Atmaram Bhidhe, a Marathi tuition teacher who is frugal and the secretary of the society.
The main characters are of Gada Family, Jethalal Gada, a Kutchi Gujarati businessman, his wife Daya, son Tapu and father Champaklal Gada. It's an ideal society to live in and here's an awesome spoof news article of that fact /man-sues-tarak-mehta-ka-oolta-chashma-as-he- fails-to-locate-gokuldham-society-in-mumbai- 7013. There are Gujaratis, Marathis, Punjabis, Bengalis, Tamilians, etc all forming this multicultural society that is united in good times and bad. It's a sitcom about the families living in Gokuldham Society. My intention is to express my love for roughly the FIRST 300 EPISODES that have infused a recurring joy in my life and maybe millions of others too. Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah is difficult to review because of it's large number of episodes which range from simply superb to totally awful, which is also true about The Simpsons.
