Werner, a successful single without family, meets Angelika (Angie), a divorced mother with three children, of whom especially the eldest daughter, teenager Tanja, is very difficult. Very soon, Werner marries Angie and she and her children move in his house, to the horror of the housekeeper, Frau Rabe. And the problems move in with them - Tanja becomes even more difficult, son Markus wants to go to his father and son Tom is afraid, that Werner's dog Lulu might eat his guinea pig. But Werner and Angie manage every problem, that a typical West German couple has. Written by Curth Flatow
When a divorced woman with three children meets the charming Werner from Vienna, this is the beginning of the most popular family series in Germanys TV history (at least in the last 30 years).
The show mixed new social realities (broken home families) with the old feel-good attitude of the 60s - resulting in a TV series which is timeless in spite of typical 80s furniture and clothes. You can still watch it, not only for nostalgia reasons, but because the new family system gives you the good feeling that every problem can be solved within 45 minutes - and you can be happy in a family even in troubled times like these.
A more than funny supporting cast provides for many laughs. Must see TV for German Generation Xers...
