Taková normální rodinka

Taková normální rodinka was received positively, having scores of 8.2 at IMDb[2] and 86% at ČSFD (Czechoslovak film database).

[5] In 2010 a follow-up, called Rodinka (Family) and directed by Dušan Klein, was released but didn't get anywhere near the acclaim of the original series.

Taková normální rodinka was written as a contemporary series whose characters were to put up with problems of that time.

1971 in Czechoslovakia was a period of normalization (tightened-up phase of the communist reign in the republic, that followed 1968 Russian invasion).

[6] Examples of that include a children's party that had to involve so called pioneers (of the socialist union of youth), or a foreign business trip that had to be to Cuba.
