Rodzinka.pl: Poland's Answer to "My Three Sons"

It's always fun to investigate a tv show from outside the U.S.,  You find interviews, photographs, award shows, articles, a whole world of pop culture that you've been completely oblivious to. Like the Polish nuclear family sitcom Rodzinka.pl.   2011-, 200 episodes to date, many available on Daily Motion and Youtube





Based on the French Canadian Les parent, it stars Małgorzata Kożuchowska as Natalia, a women's magazine publisher, and Tomasz Karolak  as Ludwik, an architect  who works from home and takes care of the kids:  16-year old Tomek ( Maciej Musiał, left ), 11-year old Kuba ( Adam Zdrójkowski, below, now 18), and 8-year old Kacper ( Mateusz Pawłowski ).








Episode titles are rather evocative, but that may be due to translation problems:
"An Abnormally Normal Family"
"Fighting Addiction"
"Orgasm"
"Cute Teenagers"
Youth Does Not Know Fear
You Brewed the Beer, Now Drink It
About Love and Cold Water
Winter, It's You
Do You Play in the Salon?

Others in the cast are:
1.  Marek (Jacek Braciak), the sardonic neighbor.













2-4. Filip (Adam Sikora), Antek (Witold Susuki), and Bartek (Filip Chiniewicz), Kacper's friends.













5.-6. Bolo (Daniel Diziorek, left) and Maciek (Jan Raubo), Tomek's friends.















There appears to be a lot of beefcake:  swimming, vacationing, getting out of bed, and miscellaneous nudity.

Searching for "gay" with the series reveals some individual episodes, but I don't know what they mean.




That's the only problem.  After all this research, I won't be able to actually watch it without a Polish translator.
