Bassie & Adriaan

This is a great kids TV show... 2 clowns who travel around Holland/Netherlands. so cute for kids. i wish it was out for DVD?? Bassie is the big silly clown, always trying to run away, but always leads him into trouble..he-he Adrian is more like the carer for bassie and loves to play jokes on him.the show has special guests from different parts of the country,who join in the fun with bassie. painting and dancing,singing. this show has great sing along songs for the kids that you will never forget.yes, they are lame but you just cant help singing. i saw this on video when my grandfather bought it for overseas.kids love the silly in it. get it on video at least. very funny to watch..

In this episode of B&A they visit the United States of America.

You get a beautiful impression of all the nice places in the country, like New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.

Of course the villains Baron, B100 en Handige Harry are also in the USA to try to catch B&A with a big bomb.

This was to be the last adventure of these Dutch comedians and it is certainly one of the best.

A goodbye to two legendary TV- icons of the Netherlands!

Once again, the Van Toor brothers deal with an important social problem in this engaging and well-written TV series. Far from capitalising on the traditional portrayal of the 'mad professor', they show a retired scientist continually unable to face the world and reality, forcing him to resort to crime. This is a detour from the traditional Van Toor films, where the chief protagonists Bassie and Adriaan take up the egregious Baron. It tones down the traditional dialectism of the series in favour of a far more subtle approach. In the process, we see how the tortured figure of the crying professor slowly falls to pieces and succumbs to his own delusions. But there are many more sides to the story, making this the most sincere of the Van Toor productions.

This bassie en adriaan series really is one of the best of many Bassie en Adriaan have made in the past. The whole atmosphere is just great, the Van Toor brothers vary thrilling and humorous moments in a way every kid loves it. And not only kids love it, I still love it too. Tho' the soundtrack is ripped of various other movies and series, it fits this series perfectly. The images of the area of the professor's secret base combined with Tubular Bells or Vangelis music are just great. In my opinion the old series are much cooler than the newer Bassie en Adriaan. In the new series (based around a trip throu Europe and the USA) it's more about education and stuff, the old series like this one are more just entertainment. Also the bad guys in the old series are waaaaay more evil, in the new series they're just a bunch of stupid weird guys.

Great series!

Oh yes, you won't get any better than this.

Superb adventure and fun in Greece with the dutch masters of children comedy.

Paul van Gorcum steals the show with a brilliant appearance as the villain "the Baron".

The best serie I have ever seen.

An absolute must for every Dutch kid.
