Barfuss ins Bett 1988
Barfuß ins Bett (original title)
55min | Drama, Family | TV Series (1988–1990)
Plot:
Dr. Hans Schön, widower and busy senior physician of a gynecological clinic, would probably never have known the kindergarten teacher Josi correctly, if his mother Martha did not fall off his bike one day. As long as the caring grandmother is in the hospital, a replacement for the care of five-year-old Robert must urgently be found. Schön’s great son Clemens is spending his school holidays at a campsite on the Baltic Sea. Fortunately, Robert’s educator agrees to take the alert boy. The days with little Robert also distract Josi a bit from her own grief. She is pregnant, but her boyfriend does not want the child and threatens to leave Josi.
Review:
Wonderful. The series is exactly as I remembered it. I first saw her on television in the GDR. As it is with so many childhood memories, I thought back to this series every now and then and was very pleased that finally the DVD is available. And I was not disappointed.
In very good picture and sound quality, the series has again been made into a nice viewing experience. Popular actors of that time (and today) show the ordinary life of a DDR family. An everyday story, as it still can today.
Look at the show, I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Of course the pictures shown in the review are what drew my attention. This was one episode of many and didn’t contain all the content that the pictures suggested. BUT, I enjoyed the episode that was shown. Since I am a farmer, I really enjoyed the opening scene of a barnyard. I don’t understand German so I just ‘read’ what was happening. It seems that there was a bit of unhappiness with some of the people, but some scenes were quite delightful. It is interesting that this was on television in Germany. It DEFINITELY wouldn’t have been shown in the United States.
SOMEHOW my comment for ANOTHER series got posted for this series. I may have pushed the wrong button, I don’t know. This series looks really good. I especially liked the cute little boy taking off his pajamas and climbing in naked between his parents in bed. I have only watched this first episode. The Germans are so much more sensible about nudity than here in the United States.
