Camblicater-um ezhudhaNum but avar ezhudha mAttAr.

Idhu thAnE vENaangurathu! Naan ennavO vechchukittu vanjanai paNra mathiri. That is vonly equar! :P Anyway there are only 2 films I remember barely from those Sunday afternoons. Yavanika (which I have yet to find and watch again) and Agantuk (which I found and watched online somewhere).

Doordarshan seems to have lost out primarily due to a lack of production values. Which is sort of a telling indicator that form tends to overpower content in the visual medium. Sadly one doesn't even watch DD often enough anymore to ascertain if the superiority of content is still valid. But it does take a state agency to persist with shows like Ariviyall indru and vivasaaya seidhigal or some such which might actually be useful to the agrarian economy dependent. Unfortunately, they are all watching Thirumathi Selvam.
