Cozy, if not a little repetitive series of slapstick short films about the good-natured but inherently clumsy lawyer-turned-odd-jobber Fritjof Fomlesen, played by Lars Vik. In addition to the stage plays from where the character originated, there were also at least three series, a televised stage play and a feature film dubbed Fomlesen i kattepine, which I saw in the cinema when I was a kid. The film was quickly forgotten and only released on VHS, but maybe I'll get a hold of it some day. The latter two series from 1997 and 1998, consisting of 9 and 4 episodes respectively, have been released by NRK, but the first series hasn't for some reason - the episodes are on YouTube but I have taken a guess at the episode numbers. It's incredibly hard to find information about it, except that it was also marketed towards an English-speaking and Swedish audience as well. The first series is also the only one in which Fomlesen audibly speaks. No episode tally or year is listed either, but I have been able to piece together that it was filmed in 1994, which means that it likely aired in 1995. The first two episodes that I could find are in monochrome, the rest in colour. For now, I can only assume only three series were made, until more episodes are released by NRK. A little like the Pelle Politibil scenario. On a side-note, some of the cars and plates were difficult to capture as the footage is sped up at all times, much like vintage silent slapstick films.

Anyway, the episodes are as follows:
1.01: Fomlesen i parken
1.02: Fomlesen i trafikken
1.03: Kunsten å sykle <- I'm assuming this one was filmed before the others, as there's still drifts of snow present.
1.04: Kunsten å handle
1.05: Kunsten å rydde et kontor

2.01: Kunsten å passe hund
2.02: Kunsten å gå på sykebesøk
2.03: Kunsten å bygge
2.04: Kunsten å ha vinterferie
2.05: Kunsten å guide
2.06: Kunsten å passe på en gård
2.07: Kunsten å reparere bil
2.08: Kunsten å fiske
2.09: Kunsten å vaske

3.01: Kunsten å tjene penger
3.02: Kunsten å feriere
3.03: Kunsten å måke snø
3.04: Kunsten å trimme

It's possible I have a hard time finding S1 if it aired as part of another programme, such as Midt i smørøyet.

Ica supermarket, it's interesting to note how different supermarkets used to be, however some things, such as organisation, are still similar:
