action
The scientifically inconceivable topics astrology, superstition, oracle and dream interpretation are considered in this series from a humorous point of view. Heinz Erhardt and others get to grips with ancient phenomena with cabaret interludes, explain scientific details and clarify. Episode 1 shows in a cheerful way that a horoscope cannot be a ready-to-use recipe for the future. The second episode deals with the prophecies that can supposedly be read from hand lines, coffee grounds, playing cards and many other things. In the third episode, the dream interpretation is considered in more detail. The final episode deals with the popular superstitions and what will happen when a black cat crosses the path of a truck driver.

criticism
“Starters and desserts were cooked in such a way that non-followers and followers of astrology could laugh alike, some out of glee, others at themselves. In between, however, was downright light food: lean ideas and salty punchlines. The sham attack [...] was too naive and too serious in thought phases that had already been committed. "
“You throw all sorts of stupid sayings, a few platitudes and common erroneous opinions, plus a few scientific details, pointless attempts at enlightenment and half-silly talk into one pot and win a brew that is guaranteed to be inedible. With not new, very staid antics and at the same time very unsuitably ambitious, one tries here to get to grips with ancient phenomena in a way that creates boredom plus anger instead of laughter.
“This little flax about superstition was disappointing. Even Heinz Erhardt could not save the strange mixture between adult education center and cabaret with his slip of the tongue "
