15 episodes in Season 1

Some details come from TheTVDB.

Our series was inspired by heartwarming family conversations, hence the interaction between the reporter and his subject. Even at home, János Gálvölgyi regularly tells anecdotes about theater, actors, performances, hacks, and Péter Kövesdi long ago thought that these conversations should be made public. At the request of HVG, if not at the dinner table at home, they give us a glimpse into these conversations, almost as they are going anyway: with bits of sentences, a little confused naturalness, sometimes sadly, but mostly laughing.
