    Tickle your funny bone with ‘Star World 10-Tickles’ from 26 Nov

    MUMBAI: After a long hard day of work, looking for a way to unwind? Star World has the perfect solution. Kick up your heels and grab a bowl of popcorn or salad (if you are the healthy kind) and get ready to laugh out loud with the latest and biggest comedy shows every night at 10pm on Star World 10-Tickles.

    The channel first launched the ‘Star World 10-Tickles’ slot on weekdays a few of months ago bringing about a paradigm shift by airing comedy shows at prime time 10pm. This strategic move was based on the consumer insight that viewers are looking to unwind and simply let go of the day’s worries before they turn in for the night. Starting 26 November, the channel will be extending the slot to include weekends as well.

    Weekends couldn’t get more exciting! Max and Caroline are making their dreams come true in 2 Broke Girls season 6 every Saturday at 10pm. Watch a brand new comedy drama series Speechless every Saturday at 10:30pm featuring the DiMeo family – an odd bunch of people at the center of which is J.J., the eldest son who suffers from cerebral palsy but has a wit and biting sense of humor. Jay Pritchett’s dysfunctional family is back in the multi-award winning series Modern Family season 8 every Sunday at 10pm. Modern Family will be followed by a brand new animated comedy series Son of Zorn every Sunday at 10:30pm. The first season of the series follows the journey of Zorn, an animated warrior from the South Pacific island of Zephyria, who returns to California to reconnect with his live-action ex-wife and estranged teenage son Alan. Hilarity ensues as Zorn tries to fit back into the humdrum of real-live society.

    Weekdays too will take on a turn for the better with Fresh of the Boat seasons 1 and 2 airing from 9 December at 10pm and Baby Daddy Seasons 4 and 5 airing from 5 December at 10:30pm.
