A Bouquet of Theatre (Bir Demet Tiyatro) (translated)

Bir Demet Tiyatro developed from the comedy program "MTV-Meclis TV", shot at BKM for broadcast on the night of December 31, 1994; its reception led the same team to make the series. Yılmaz Erdoğan wrote it and BKM produced it. The production company calls it Turkey's first sitcom filmed before an audience, and each week it was recorded in front of spectators like a stage play. The first 100 episodes aired between January 14, 1995, and October 14, 1997, and 38 more were made in 2000-2002 for Star TV. The program stopped at episode 138, restarted after five years, and the eighth season ran on atv from November 28, 2006, to April 24, 2007. Of the 156 episodes in all, Sevgi Birsel directed the first 151 and Derya Yaruç the last five.

Each episode was first meant to tell a separate story, but the second was so well liked that the Çıtır family's adventures continued. At the center of a working-class Istanbul family stand the unemployed, swaggering son Mükremin, around thirty (Yılmaz Erdoğan), and his sharp-tongued sister Lütfiye (Demet Akbağ). Their father Burhan Çıtır is played by Erdoğan Dikmen and their mother Telviye by Zerrin Sümer; Yasemin Yalçın played the Sürahi Hanım character. Serhat Özcan appears as Tirbüşon (Berkant) Midyat, Settar Tanrıöğen as Saldıray Abi and Suzan Kardeş as Aunt Mevlüde.
