German classic. Must-watch for some childhood nostalgia.

One of the greatest TV programs ever produced in Germany. Every child from the 70s through the 2000s has watched this. I've probably watched the series dozens of times now.

The writing is funny, deep and incredibly quotable. The puppet work is impeccable and the whole production has a very unique feel (as do all the Augsburger Puppenkiste productions). Perfect to watch with some weed if you want to laugh harder than you have in a long time. All the raving reviews are 100% right.

"...I don't understand a word...

...but an old man like me doesn't have to understand every word anymore."

"... und er hat sie demjenigen zur Frau versprochen, der sie befreit." "Oha!" "Frau...?!?" "...befreit...?!?" "Machen wir!!"
