Bosco Fest 2022

The official app for Bosco Fest 2022.

From spending Sunday evenings glued to Comedy Central to finishing the latest season of "Stranger Things" in a single day, the realm of TV shows leaves us absorbed and fascinated until interrupted by raging parents resembling Rahul Dravid in a Cred ad.

Cable network television was the order of the day for nearly half a century as new episodes of shows were released weekly, attracting viewers by the millions. From growing up watching "Mr Bean" and "Tom and Jerry" to finishing, with a pang of apprehension and regret, "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", and “Breaking Bad”, these shows stole the spotlight and remain highly cherished till date.

‍

With no Avengers’ movie premieres to rush to for almost two years in the wake of the pandemic, Netflix parties led the way for people to binge to no end. Live channels, old sitcoms, miniseries, short films and movie franchises; these platforms had something to cater to all audiences. The omnipresent internet issues did not affect the OTT platforms as much as they did the online classes, providing for the perfect setting for students to finish entire shows in a week’s worth of classes. While some were content with navigating grey hospitals for eighteen years, others chose to be entertained by contract killers in the theatre, a succession of family politics or at CalTech with one of “god’s special little people”, all in the space of a single day. Even now, as we slowly revert to the way things used to be, our busy schedules always seem to make time for an episode or two of “How I Met your Mother” and grace our day with Barney’s revolutionary guidance.

‍

On this sixteenth day of July, lose yourself in a twenty-episode spectacle.

Fall for the inevitable gambit, curb your enthusiasm lest you get Sherlocked and rise to climb the ladder to the crown, all in a single day. Be inspired by the Professor’s eye for detail, Peralta’s gimmicks, Michael Scott’s management skills, and of course Monica's need for perfection. Come be part of this potpourri of classic content, drama and fanfiction curated for the daydreamers who lose themselves in darkened rooms amidst the glowing laptop screens.
