Neue Geschichten vom Pumuckl

Being familiar with the shows of RTL and after seing the unnecessary sequel to "Club Las Piranhas", also being familiar with many other unneceessary reboots of classic shows nowadays I was very sceptical about the show but I decided to give it a go anyway. What can I say: I was really positively surprised. This show is really a respectful sequel to the classic Pumuckl stories with the great Gustl Bayrhammer and Hans Clarin from the 1980s, with which many, including myself, grew up with. They didn't just remake the show, they gave the show new life, while still keeping the style of the original. They did small references to the original show, to Bayrhammer, rebuilt the set the way it was, had the original voice of Hans Clarin instead of having an impersonator and despite the show being set in modern times they didn't try to make the show "hip" or "ultramodern". The way it was done it was very well done and elaborated. The new actors also fit well in the show and it is good that they had some of the original actors appearing in it too.

Well done RTL.
