Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten

This show has to be the worst ever. Everybody hates it but yet it has very good television ratings. That's the cross every film fan has to bare I guess.

I don't even know how to describe how bad it is. I can't talk about teleplays as there can't be one. If there is some plan written behind this crap it's not worth calling it a teleplay. Also acting would be the wrong term here as what they (I won't use the term actor as well) do is nothing more then getting up early, memorizing a couple of lines, saying them stoically in front of the camera and complaining about getting home late when in fact their work can be done in 3 hours.

Unfortunately the about 25 minutes a day we get tortured by them are not enough. They sing, rap, dub films.....Talking about dubbing films. How come that Oliver Petzokat got to dub Lou (Tobey Maguire) in Cats & Dogs? As I heard the german dubbing for this film in a Trailer before Shrek I got kinda angry that they seemed to have ruined this assumedly great movie. Where Shrek worked good this one will fail. I am going to check your work out in this one dude. Dare you it's bad....

I always thought this show was annoying and honestly rolled my eyes a little everytime someone said they watched it. Now I am the one watching it, for a couple of years now actually. Sure sometimes the acting is not the best or some storylines get dragged around forever. Still love it. Totally addicting. Don't think I have missed an episode in the last couple of years. Just watch them on the weekend without commercial breaks. Even my husband loves the show. I guess you just kinda have to fall into it.

I think that you can not imagine how these people really work...!! Before I came to the studios to watch the guys work there, I actually thought quite the same as you do. But since I saw and did the work the guys on that TV-show have to do, I have to say that they really do deserve respect for what they are doing all day long. That really is no easy work. And also the actors, which in your eyes may be terribly bad, are really great people and a lot of them really can act! I don't think that the material given to them can really show that, as I think this material isn't very good. But THEY are truly good! So I don't think that you, before you haven't seen these guys doing there work, can judge over them! And I shouldn't have judged over them as well before I met them, but I did and am now terribly ashamed of it. So please, do not allow yourself to judge over these great people unless you haven't seen them doing there job.

This is by far one of the best things I've seen on television. This show has been on since 1992 so when watching the earlier years it might not measure up to today's standards but when filming those earlier years they were with the times, fashion, music, etc. The last couple decades have been the best (in my opinion). The acting is by far WAY above stereotypical "soap" acting, especially when you compare it to American soaps. The people on and behind this show really put a lot into it and it shows. The locations are beautiful, the music is always great (I'm always adding songs to my playlist), the costumes and hair/makeup are amazing. The lighting and sets are beautiful. The props department are so talented and very detailed. I bet it's a great show to design for and work on. Being a soap, some of the storylines are a bit much and can drag on but as a whole it's great writing, acting, and designing. I would love to use my degree to do hair and makeup for this show (a girl can dream lol).
