I saw this series recently since it's available through the NRK app. (If you have Norwegian IP you can use it I think). It's 7 episodes each being a satire on a typical early 80s TV evenings from 17:55 till midnight. Back then we only had one channel (NRK) and this series go through the programmes that people loved and the programmes that people hated.
Each episode roughly starts with News, then children's programme, random information programme, more News, film/drama and then late News.
Watching it 40 years later I still had a lot of laughs. Partly because I remember how dreary TV could be and the parodies were also well done. Also a lot of the jokes were timeless. In particular the children's TV (Spare TV) episode where the children aren't allowed to use scissors or glue etc.
A real pet hate was Fjernsynsteateret (TV theatre) and we see several varieties of this and it's deliberately and painfully cringy. The spoiled upper class house occupant eating dinner with his parents was my fave.
The trio that made the series was later known as KLM and was highly influenced by Monty Python.
But while Monty Python would go at length with surreal scenes KLM generally settled for an earlier punch.
I absolutely recommend this for people who grew up in the 80s and understand Norwegian.
