Reviews
The series received praise in the press. The BZ found it succinctly: "Tragic-comic smile stories with a first-class cast."
Brigitte Ehrich wrote in Hörzu (issue 38/1985): “There was no cutback on big stars! - Eight entertainment sweets that were not offered as bed treats, but in the evening program. It was about "old crooks" who were actually all rather poor little sausages. [...] Karl Wittlinger told stories with such lovable subtlety that one often forgives them for lack of logic. And the selected star cast gave even the worst scam an amusing touch of exclusivity. "
