About
In 1999, the show originally featured only one segment titled Pastila Timpului ("The Time Pill"). It was a sitcom about a scientist named Professor Hărăbor, who invented a pill that allowed him to travel through time and embark on all kinds of adventures with his family, often portraying well-known characters throughout history.
After the first season, the show expanded to include multiple segments: featuring Policeman Garcea, The Show of the Show, Boyar Moflea and the King and Leana and Costel — a rural couple from Sadova dealing with all sorts of shenanigans involving the other townsfolk.
