The series shows, in a highly exaggerated way, the coexistence of a West German family in a North Rhine-Westphalian row house settlement at the beginning of the 1970s.

Extremly popular 1970s sitcom referring to many political and social issues through the eyes of an average German family. Alfred Tetzlaff is a narrow-minded, reactionary patriarch living together with his naive wife Else, their daughter Rita and her husband Michael, who emigrated from communist East Germany,...and constantly arguing with them.—fippi2000
