I want to both address the series itself and this "controversy" from Danes. As a Norwegian/American who has lived in both places, I have a great appreciation for "norglish". I suppose if I were willing to listen to more potet i halsen Danish dialog, I'd enjoy "danglish" as well (Sorry Danes, I had to slip that in. And I'm sure most of you are smart enough to figure it out, but potet betyr kartoffel). All in all, this is a hilarious, entertaining show. The humor is pretty Scandinavian.
As for the controversy from some Danes posting comments on this, I would like to apologize for my own ignorance as I did not know it was originally from Denmark. Sadly, I'm not surprised that many Norwegians aren't aware of this, nor am I surprised that Norwegians stole this. For too long, creativity did not thrive in Norway like it did in Denmark. Take this copying as a compliment, Danes, and just ignore the ignorance of Norwegians that would insist this is a 100% Norwegian show. But you really need to have a little more understanding for Norwegians' so-called nationalism, as it may have historical roots from back when ya'll ruled Norway. So chill out, take Norwegian-versions of Danish things as a compliment, and let's be nice. :-)
And one final note, I found it really hilarious after reading the IMDb entries for the two series that we even took the phrase "det er bar' dejli'" into our own "det e bærre lækkert".

This is a very simple but excellent made "movie". If you watch this, the "24 days to go" 'til Christmas will pass by with the speed of light. Very good acting by only 4 people!!! I really recommend this to viewers in Scandinavia (especially in Norway!!), it's worth a laugh. Together with "Jul I Skomakergata", this is the best "Christmas calendar" movies ever made.
