MA 2412 is a hilarious Austrian TV-Show produced for the Austrian public national broadcast station ORF.
The show first aired in 1998 and was canceled in 2002. There are 34 Episodes.

storyline:
The (fictional) bureau of christmas decoration on the outskirts of Vienna is the main location of the show. The leading characters are Ingenieur Breitfuss (Roland Düringer), Herr Weber (Alfred Dorfer), Frau Knackal (Monika Weinzettl) and Herr Claus (Karl Ferdinand Kratzl). All leading actors are also well known Austrian cabaret artists, this fact is a great enrichment for the show.
Basically, the series is a humorous parody of the bureaucracy (red tape) in Austria. All kind of prejudices and stereotypes about government officials are portrayed exaggerated and sarcastically in a very funny way.

It's a pity that the show was cancelled after 34 episodes since it was one of the most inventive and humorous shows in Austrian television ...
some funny dialogs and quotes (German, in Austrian dialect):

Frau Knackal: "Mit Milch und Zucka?"

Frau Knackal: "Wo genau war Ihr persönlicher Rekord, Herr Weber?"
Herr Claus: "Nicht einmal eine Minute, ich hingegen ..."
Herr Weber: "Schnauze Herr Claus!"

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
