## Synopsis

Crazy, Confused, Normal (2007-2021) is a Bosnian national-television sitcom created by Feđa Isović and Elmir Jukić and aired on Federalna Televizija and Nova TV. Centred on the Fazlinović family, the comedy follows the patriarch Izet, played by Mustafa Nadarević, alongside his son Faruk (Senad Bašić) and grandson Damir (Moamer Kasumović), three generations crowded into a single apartment in Sarajevo. Their everyday collisions over money, neighbours, romance and generational misunderstandings drive each episode, with supporting characters like Samir (Emir Hadžihafizbegović) and Reufik Mujkić known as Refko (Goran Navojec) adding comic friction. The show runs as a long serialized sitcom across thirteen seasons and 319 episodes, with loose storylines carrying from one season into the next while each half hour stays self-contained in its gags. The tone is warm, breezy and gently absurd, with domestic comedy grounded in the textures of daily city life. Its humour draws on family teasing, bickering, and the small indignities of shared living, so viewers who enjoy Everybody Loves Raymond or The Jeffersons will find similar comfort in the familiar household chaos. The series is a long-running staple of Balkan family comedy, built for easy, affectionate viewing.
