Perhaps one of the most famous TV shows that most of us grew up watching is CID–a crime thriller drama show.
Running for almost 20 years now, CID is a show that you either love or hate but just cannot ignore. Be it the iconic dialogues or the main characters that have become household names, the crime drama has made a permanent mark in Indian television.
The news of the show going permanently off-air after October 27 spread like wildfire, making most of us nostalgic of the time when the investigation team could get the accused to confess to their crimes with a slap; where a senior inspector was specially appointed to break open doors; the legendary trio was indomitable.
Although the decision has left viewers disappointed. The longest-running show is taking a break after 21 years and one can say that the fans can’t keep calm. Many Netizens took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to express their views on the decision.
#saveCID @SonyTV @SonyTV @SonyTV shame on you. You are forcing Cid to go off air. Now hear all cidians unsubscribe Sony TV. Channel from YouTube,delete Sonyliv and don't watch Sony set #boycottSonyTV.Do you really want to see fanpower of Cid Then do ready.

Some of the best spoofs I've seen have been on CID. We all learned to laugh at it and that's a relief, that we can make fun of something silly. The characters will remain with us for life though.
