Inspired by the famous Gujarati column *Duniya Ne Undha Chasma* by Tarak Mehta, this show captures the everyday life in Gokuldham Co-operative Society, addressing socially relevant issues with humor. At its heart is Jethalal, an uneducated Gujarati businessman, who often seeks guidance from his wise neighbor and friend, Taarak Mehta. Jethalal lives with his naive yet lovable wife Daya Ben and their mischievous son Tapu, whose antics frequently disrupt the peace of the society. The members often warn Jethalal to control Tapu or face eviction. In desperation, he calls his father, Champaklal, from the village, hoping he’ll instill discipline in Tapu. Instead, the grandfather-grandson duo teams up, creating even more chaos and turning Jethalal’s life into a comedic roller coaster. The show blends family dynamics, friendship, and neighborhood bonds with a dose of satire and laughter.
Lindenstraße is a German television show on ARD's Das Erste, one of Germany's two publicly administered TV channels. The first episode was aired on 8 December 1985 and since then new episodes have been broadcast weekly. Its current timeslot on Das Erste is Sundays at 18:50. The events of the Sunday episode usually take place on the Thursday before the show, based on the TV station's original plan of airing the episodes Thursday night. Prior of the start of the show, the timeslot was switched to Sunday evening but the Thursday remained the day the events usually take place as the show shall feature the daily life routine of the protagonists on a working day. Exceptions are the so-called holiday episodes that take place on Sunday, such as for Christmas and Easter and also on important election days.
Setting the pace for other soap operas in Germany, the first episodes were met with mostly bad reviews. However, Lindenstraße soon became one of the most successful shows on German TV.
