Summaries

A hilarious satire revolving around a complex family headed by an eccentric patriarch, nicknamed "Dear Uncle Napoleon," who rules over his relatives with an iron fist and constant wisecracks.

An uproarious adaptation of a popular novel of the same name by Iraj Pezeshkzad. set in around the family compound in early 1940s Tehran. Shows characters that are marvelously rich in personality. The title character, so-called because of his constant invocation of the general, rules over a wonderfully complex extended family. A hilarious series which makes fun of just about everything.—Kaaveh
