Kinderen geen bezwaar

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Kinderen geen bezwaar ("Children no objection") is a Dutch sitcom, developed by the VARA and written by Haye van der Heyden. The premise is that Gerard van Doorn and Maud Zegers, each having a kid from their last marriage, meet through a personal ad and re-marry to each other. The comedy derives partially from Gerard's unmanly behavior, and partially from the cast's Medium Awareness.

The series ran from 2004 to 2013.
