Taarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma should be shifted to Adult OTT channels like Ullu App or Kooku App. There should be lots of scenes like Jetha & Babita making out in a shower in a Dream sequence or Taarak Mehta & ATM under the sheets Sonu catching lewd noises coming from her parents Bedroom...otherwise it's so boring. yawn.
