Being a part of the First Episode Project.
Much-loved family sitcom set in 90s Beijing.
Emule/Edonkey
Youku
Unfortunately, this version doesn't come with subtitles, which made it quite difficult for me.
This is the second of the Grand Project episodes which I can't follow. Very fast moving, Beijing
accent, no subtitles is a bad combination for me. Anyone have a link that uses subtitles,
preferably not on youku (which I can't currently view under Linux)?
Since this one is obviously extremely conversation/character driven, I can't really write much
more about it.

Actually we may have transcripts for this one - I just remembered this from 2006. There's a
download page here. The first one is a .chm file - ie a Windows help file, which is an odd format
and the download doesn't appear to work. The second is a .zip of html files, you want 发挥余热
上 and 下。
As pointed out in the linked discussion, the two might not match up 100%, but should still be very
useful.
Got this downloaded now, hopefully will be able to watch today. Although it's not the only thing
on yesterday's list of things to do that still needs done . . .

Thanks.
The transcripts were really helpful. At least I understand what's going on now. Still, it seems
far more difficult than the more modern urban TV shows. I have a feeling that this is a more
traditional type show, written for actors, and that the trend has been to move to more spoken,
colloqial language. Just a guess though.

Actually I'd say it's very colloquial - but it's also very fast, very Beijing
(看哪门子动画片呀), has plenty of references to stuff like 中央, 妇联，and there's a
fair bit of humor drawn from cadre-type language being dropped into the domestic setting, such as
"咱们家是缺了个当家人，早就该治理整顿啦！"
I actually just went looking to see if I could find out who made the series in the first place,
ended up reading Baidu's 百科 page and it seems the show was removed from Beijing TV after six
episodes just because of that humor.

That's what I love about it. The father definitely makes this show.

Have now watched it (although have seen it before).
Damn but it's fast. I can keep up, but there's no room for drifting off and missing anything, and
as if one rapid-fire Beijinger wasn't enough, half the time you've got a living room of them
talking over each other. Oh, and they threw in a heavily-accented maid for good measure, bless
them. I should go over it again with the transcript and see how much I understood and how much I
just thought I understood.
Great fun though, and the actors are obviously enjoying themselves. Do they make them like this
any more?
I didn't realize, but this is part one of a two-parter. In the transcript you only need
发挥余热 上, 下 is the next one. It stands up fine on its own though.

Probably not. This was the first Chinese sitcom, so I imagine that back in the day it was breaking
all sorts of new ground. Things nowadays seem to be much more cookie-cutter. Even though the show
is quite dated now (both in content and production values) it's still full of great lines and
interesting characters.
Part two of the first episode is good too, and definitely worth a watch, especially at the end
where they're all confessing to the father about their mistakes.
