The Affairs of Our House (Bizim Evin Halleri) (translated)

TV Series · 2000–2008 · 21 people

On February 14, 2000, TRT 1 began airing Bizim Evin Halleri (“The Affairs of Our House”), a family series shown every weekday. Blending family, sentimental, comedy and drama elements, it reached its 1,705th episode, the most of any Turkish series, and by number of seasons it is the longest-running daily series. It lasted ten seasons. Focus Film produced it, Tülay Eratalay and Cafer Özgül are credited as directors, and the music is by Can Atilla. Its themes are love, friendship and solidarity.

The cast included Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu, Hakan Salınmış (Civan Civelek), Okan Şenozan (Sayhan Kızıroğlu), Hülya Gülşen Irmak (İsmet Kızıroğlu), Şebnem Gürsoy (Rikkat Aslan), Levent Ülgen and Serhat Kılıç. Burak Demir first played Rüzgar Aslan; Cantuğ Turay took over in 2006.

The first 41 episodes ran inside a block called Biz Bize, and the series went independent on April 17, 2000. Its seven TRT 1 seasons (1,218 episodes) ended on June 30, 2006; episodes of about 15 minutes in the morning moved before the evening news after 2002 and grew to 25 minutes. In two Kanal 1 seasons (412 episodes) the length rose to 45 minutes and the tone slid from family comedy to intrigue, separations and deaths. The last season aired on atv from September 1, 2008.

Through different eyes

AI-assisted editorial takes written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader reviews; those are below.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Bizim Evin Halleri is a family series that came on every weekday for many years. Its themes of love, friendship and solidarity suit viewers of every age. The short, light episodes of the early years are easy to watch in homes with children and grandparents. One warning, though: towards the last seasons it turns into a heavier drama full of intrigue, separations and deaths. For little ones, the early seasons are the better choice.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Bizim Evin Halleri feels like a link in TRT's gentle, warm tradition of family series. Love, affection, friendship and solidarity: themes that recall the days when television was the household's shared table. Performers such as Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu, Hakan Salınmış and Hülya Gülşen Irmak give the characters sincerity, and Can Atilla's music rounds off that warmth. Yet the show's slide in its later years from family comedy to a drama full of intrigue and separations dims, to my eye, some of the innocence of its early period. The early seasons, though, can be remembered with a clear heart.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

1,705 episodes! Bizim Evin Halleri holds the title of the Turkish series with the most episodes ever aired, and that number is a legend in itself. Its journey from short morning-slot episodes to a full-length evening show is a fascinating example of a series growing up with its audience. The warm rapport of its big cast is its strongest card. But let's be honest: the recasting of Rüzgar Aslan, the channel switches and the late turn toward heavy drama keep such a long ride from feeling consistent for everyone. Rather than trying to finish it all, it's smarter to find the era you love.
