This kids show was made over a decade before I was born so I didn't grow up with it, although I heard much about it in connection with the DVD release years ago - many people protested, saying creator and main actor Staffan Westerberg ruined a whole generation by making this show. But that makes no sense, if you ask me. If it really was that bad, then why did you keep watching it? Why didn't you for example play with toys or see friends instead? It's not like anyone made you watch it.
Sure there was a few terrible shows when I was a kid (I can't remember the title but I remember there was an awfully boring show where a glove were supposed to resemble an elephant) but you don't see me sitting whining about that 20 years later. If a creepy TV show was the worst thing you could encounter back in the 70s, then life must have been awfully easy in those days.
According to me, Vilse i pannkakan is a masterpiece! I love the surrealism and the far out imagination of Staffan Westerberg. I would have loved this show when I was a kid. I actually have a DVD with this show autographed by Staffan Westerberg and I'm proud of that.
