O Fura-Vidas (1999– )

I'm from Portugal, but I mostly hate Portuguese shows. They are old-fashioned and often copies of each other.

But this show is different. It's the only Portuguese show so far that I watched and actually enjoyed watching. The cast was superbly chosen, the actors seemed to have been born to play their respective roles.

Every single episode had at least one part that made me laugh (which is amazing even comparing to American or British shows). A "normal" Portuguese suburban family that get's into hilarious situations. They not once used cliché jokes or moments and that is also very rare.

A show that I recommended to lots of friends and family members and one I am sorry has stopped being broadcast in Portugal. Hope to catch some re-runs, because it's definitely worth it.
