From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Good Times, Bad Times or in Dutch Goede tijden, slechte tijden (GTST) is currently the longest-running Dutch soap opera. It started airing in 1990 on RTL 4 and was the first daily soap produced in the Netherlands. The show is produced by Joop van den Ende and so far in the order of 3000 episodes have been broadcast. The story revolves around a group of families in the fictional town of Meerdijk. It is based on The Restless Years, an Australian soap opera.
The success in the Netherlands led German station RTL to develop its own version, called Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten (German). By now, the German and Dutch versions differ sharply from each other in tone and narrative, however. Also, unlike the Dutch version, the German version does not go into season breaks during summer.
