I have seen a couple of episodes from Pension Hommeles (Guesthouse Much a-do) when they re-ran it. Although the whole atmosphere breathes the 1950's, an era that I never experienced personally, I found the series heart-warming to watch because of the general gentle interactions of the characters. Nothing big happens, it is sort of an every-day life that is portrayed but the people in it are lovable enough. Of course, in retrospect, the main attraction is Donald Jones who sings the famous "Ik zou je het liefste in een doosje willen doen", a jazzy love song by Cor Lemaire. So, nothing big, loud, extremely good or shocking here: but a gentle innocent comedy playing in the 1950's in Amsterdam.
