The beloved family was thirteen years (1980-1993) and 384 episodes for one each to April from between October ORF broadcast live - TV series about the upper-class Viennese family of the retired head of Department Franz Lafite. The series ran on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. and usually lasted 45 minutes. In the spring of 1982 it was broadcast on Mondays at 8:15 p.m. for special occasions - Hilla's 65th birthday, excursion to Baden, episode 300 - the broadcasting time was also extended. Based on the impromptu format of the legendary Leitner family and as a kind of bourgeois counterpart to the proletarian sack-makers of the 1970s ORF series A real Viennese does not go under , family members and guests were welcomed for a coffee chat.
The main location was the Lafites' apartment (living room, kitchen, anteroom, study, bedroom, bathroom) in the 19th district of Vienna at Untersteinergasse 12. Over the years, other locations were added: first of all, the so-called "living community" consisting of a few young people In the apartment across from the Lafites, after its dissolution, Hilla's brother Kurt and his wife lived there, who had suddenly become homeless after losing their Amstetten house until Birgit and Stephan moved in again, later the spacious apartment of the retired Ambassador Dr. Hollmann, after he moved out, the newly married couple Birgit and Stephan lived there for a while, until it was finally converted into a tailoring / fashion salon by Kurt and Hilde. From autumn 1985 the confectioner Eduard Janek's “Die kleine Konditorei”, a third of which the section head and Ms. Sokol were also involved, and in recent years the apartment of grandson Thommy were other popular locations.
In the early days of the series there were even outdoor shoots: at a Heuriger , in a Beisl , also during a visit to the Schönbrunn Zoo and a family trip to Baden near Vienna and the casino there. The film was shot once in Heinz Windeck's bookstore (episode 332), which he originally ran with his friend Ernst Lafite.
Many popular and well-known Austrian folk actors have appeared in the series over the years, either in guest appearances or in regularly recurring roles. Ernst Meister and Guido Wieland played along until their death.
action
The stories the series tells were as varied as life itself. It was about the daily problems and hurdles of everyday life - from pubescent children to the loss of loved ones to the ups and downs of a relationship. The focus was almost always on the Lafite family, the head, section head Franz Lafite helped one and the other family member as well as his guests with life experience, wisdom and appropriate serenity. The resolute housekeeper Ms. Sokol provided amusing loosening up, often in cooperation with Heinz Windeck. The conversations in the series often referred to current events. This was supposed to underline the character of an impromptu game. In the beginning and occasionally later, the radio news of the ORF ran in the background at the beginning of the respective episode. The viewers should be shown that they are actually playing live.
The series experienced a certain plot break at the start of the 1986/87 season when one of the leading actors, Ernst Meister alias Ernstl Lafite, suddenly died. Since one did not want to include his death directly in the series action and probably also could not in a series that was more carefree and funny, he was sent without further ado with his wife Elfi (Elfriede Ott) to their daughter Niki in New York, where these two went Had fled years earlier after a failed wedding. Elfriede Ott returned to the series as Elfi's old-boy Czech twin sister Otti in January 1987 and, after Ernstl's death was discussed at the beginning of the 1988/89 season (episode “The Long Summer”), from the 300th episode onwards he occasionally returned their original role.

Erne Seder , who in the role of housekeeper Ms. Sokol was mostly only allowed to take part in family events through the hatch from the kitchen, was also significantly involved as an author in the series. In the beginning she wrote most of the scripts, then was supported by Hugo Wiener and Kurt Nachmann (who also had a recurring role in the series as Dr. Winkler until his sudden death in March 1984). Silke Schwinger and Annemarie Meister were also the main authors , occasionally Hans Holt (Ambassador Dr. Hollmann), and from the 1986/87 season also Fritz Eckhardt . After internal disputes with the ORF about fee claims, Erne Seder, Silke Schwinger and Annemarie Meister ended their work for “Die liebe Familie” at the beginning of the 1991/92 season, and Eva Bakos , Kurt Huemer , Peter Moser and Wolfgang Kudrnofsky were hired as new authors .
Music and design
The title melody of the show was the so-called Kupelwieser Waltz by Franz Schubert , before the beginning of the respective edition a board with the inscription “We welcome you to xxx. Follow our impromptu game " The Dear Family ".
Broadcasts
Three programs could not be broadcast as planned:
- In 1986, on the occasion of Ernst Meister's death, an older episode was repeated instead of episode 167
- In 1993, episode 364 was canceled due to the sudden illness of a leading actress.Instead, the intended actors in the studio told anecdotes from their artistic life, the subsequent episode 365 was replaced by a commemorative broadcast for the late Guido Wieland - in it, Franz Stoss remembers him with excerpts from old series episodes Actor. However, these three episodes have been included in the regular episode count.
As part of an extensive program reform and rejuvenation under the new ORF general manager Gerhard Zeiler , the series was prematurely discontinued in December 1993.
In 1997/98 the series was repeated on weekdays in the ORF afternoon program, although the opening episodes were shortened from 60 minutes to around 45 minutes and various episodes were omitted - either because they did not fit into the program schedule due to a longer running time or because the tapes were no longer available or were playable.
Between January 23, 2017 and June 2, 2017, the majority of episodes 1 to 188 were repeated in HD format on the special-interest channel ORF III. However, around 10 percent of the consequences already announced in the program guides and various online resources due to current events (broadcasting of meetings from the National Council etc.) have been deleted without replacement and in some cases at very short notice, so that there is a continuous orientation in the storylines that are developing was difficult to do. In some cases episodes with the same title were swapped. Easter and Christmas episodes were almost completely canceled because, in the opinion of those responsible for the program, they “don't fit the season”. Due to numerous complaints to the ORF - curiously also from viewers, for whom the broadcast of two episodes per day was apparently annoying - the repetition with episode 188 ( The Minister's Visit ) was stopped prematurely on June 2, 2017, after the planning of further episodes were announced by mid-July.
