In the first episode we see how Frans, who was around fifty years old during the recordings, is struggling with age. His sons also know how to make fun of their father. This confirms that the singer is turning very grey. Its weight has also been widely discussed.
In addition to the funny moments, Frans also shows an emotional side in the first episode. For example, he visits the grave of his deceased father. He showed his son Christian that he had reserved two places next to his father's place. One when Frans himself dies and one for Mariska. “Get two, pay for one,” France jokes.
The singer also visits his mother with his son. He says to the cameras: “I visit my mother every day. Sometimes several times. Sometimes I call her thirty times a day.” His mother's health is deteriorating. “I've become very forgetful,” says Christian.

Another calls it “beautiful television.” This viewer is having a great evening: “I don't know what your evening is going to be like, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.” Peasants.'
The family is described online as a “fun, loving family” without any “fuss”. 'What a very nice and normal family! France, Maris and their four children. Real fun with a capital G.' One viewer thinks the new season is “just as entertaining as it was twenty years ago.”
