The week of unification of the tribes in survival made us think about the comebacks we would like to see in life • From the first unicorn quartet "Mesodirim", through "Our Song" to the building on Vitek Street 9 of "Near relatives" • Nostalgia at its best


The survival week is in full swing, Guy Shikar returned to the game and took the last place in the "Olan" clan, and we turned to a little nostalgia.

We went back in time to pick the five comebacks we'd most like to see on screen - and in life.

Don't worry, Ren and Ninet are inside.

very close

The memories that flood us of the building at 9 Vitek Street in Tel Aviv can fill an entire eighties childhood.

The first Israeli sitcom became during its three years of broadcast a cult series and a local cultural symbol to this day, including.

The reading of Hana's "Fatuvuh" as an opening, which became a sign of recognition, was the cue for the whole family to gather in front of the TV with a bowl of tangerines on the living room table.

We miss the "open" hahaha.

We were captivated by Yoram's hypochondria, Laura's cynicism, Hana's pioneering to have a conversation with potted plants, and Molly the teenager, who was too-cool-for-school.

In total, we got three seasons of "Close Relatives" plus a reunion episode that happened in 2005.

In the meantime, the tight-knit fan base is still looping the rebroadcasts and for the knowledge of the reader, Ephraim Sidon, we would be happy for another union of forces of all the residents of the building.

Florentine

Today, when Tel Aviv is crumbling in the construction sites that wash over it and growing taller, we would be happy if someone would give us back, even for a few television moments, the Tel Aviv dream of the late 1990s;

The one-room apartment, the minute-by-minute life, like adults, without metaphors, without images.

Take a moment to bask in the Florentine of the time, which had affordable housing and lounges with trance party prints that served as curtains.

Today's Florentine is already geared towards high-tech and thanks to gentrification, even the coffee there is no longer exactly affordable.

The glory days of the series during its three seasons gave its viewers an eternal fountain of youth, filled the zeitgeist of that time with new air and made us addicted to the Tel Aviv fantasy: the pioneering gay narrative, the period of Rabin's murder, love affairs and heartbreaks.

Wool, Tutti, Iggy, Tomer, Gali and Hanch, if you don't make us a child, then at least unite.

Mango band

At the end of the eighties, Michal Tzafir, Miri Nebo and Yasmin Gamaliel were the brightest pop trio in the pre-Eurovision.

They were the Israeli Beach-Girls who lived in Shinkin, collaborated with Yair Lapid and had merchandising that did not embarrass a successful foreign band. Electricity flowed through their palms and their triple voice defined an innocent era of overly colorful style and theatrical body movements and facial expressions.

In 2010, after 20 years of silence, a reunion took place in one evening tribute to Zadei Frafti that was broadcast on Channel 2 with a new arrangement of "Gre Beschinkin" which was released as a single.

We would be happy for a more significant comeback, even as an appearance in "Kholi Alma", but we are realistic, there is no chance that Nebo will be removed from the sports channel or that Zefir as Wal-Bing's guru will be released from Stories.

arranged

The first unicorn quartet that made an exit in the late 2000s on our small screen, was the opening that predicted the beginning of the creation of Silicon Valley.

The reviews did not cheer, but the ratings celebrated and the viewers were caught up in the dream of "making the hit" and wanted to be friends with Assi Cohen, Assaf Harel, Eran Zarahovich and Maor Cohen, or at least belong to their milieu.

"Masoderim" managed to capture the new Israeli, the one who knows what Young Money is and today, a decade and a half ahead, we know a little more about the depth of the bank account.

Beyond the pink cava pool and bling-bling cars, the two seasons of "Masoderim" also redefined for us the concept of guys and the dream of success as an Israeli congregation, which today will probably include a fleet of private restaurants of Eyal Shani.

Precisely at a time when the high-tech jobs are so desirable, we would like to see if the "orderly" have become sharks and where they are in real estate today.

our song

The daily musical drama of the early 2000s, at least in its first of four seasons, was beautiful and postmodern for teenage boys and girls, for sinking mothers to retirees.

"Our Song" then stood at the head of the golden age of daily dramas and these were the magic years of Ninet, Ran Denker and Co.

Uri Gross and Yoav Tzafir managed to cook up a television hit with an Israeli budget and the result was an entertainment product, parodic, sophisticated to a certain extent and self-aware.

About a year ago, Gross responded to a fan request and published five pages of a made-up script.

To this day there is an absolute majority of players who are interested in the union.

We're still wondering if we're into it.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
