The revival of Rumah Kedai on TV3

Rumah Kedai, a Ramadan drama series which was aired on TV3, returns after a very long hiatus. Rumah Kedai was aired for many years during the fasting month of Ramadan since 1988. The original Rumah Kedai airs daily while the revived one which is currently airing, airs Monday to Wednesday, starting July 8. The revived series would have 13 episodes when I count the number of episode airings, but it was actually 16 episodes because the drama wanted to end at the last day of Ramadan. So the last episode was actually at episode 16.

The drama still maintains its original content despite having new actors in the revived version. Original idea and scripting is by Mufid Suhaimi and produced by Primeworks Studios. Another long-running programme which airs during Ramadan on TV3 is Jejak Rasul, a documentary series which has been aired since 1995.

I'm not interested in watching Rumah Kedai because I'm not a regular viewer of it. (I'm also not a regular viewer of Jejak Rasul, despite that I also enjoyed learning about history of Islam through subjects such as Sejarah and Pendidikan Islam.) Also, since Rumah Kedai has been on hiatus for a long time, and also I think there has never been a re-run of Rumah Kedai on TV so far, not many of the current generation know about the drama. Only those who had watch Rumah Kedai when it was aired remembers it. Jejak Rasul is more familiar.
