The “ZDF Fernsehgarten” is celebrating its 600th show – and without any highlights or celebrations. If only Andrea Kiewel’s rock brings glamor to the Lerchenberg, the outdated show format is slowly having an artist problem.

600 episodes of “ZDF Fernsehgarten”: That’s 71,910 minutes before the telly on Sunday afternoon, according to presenter Andrea “Kiwi”kievel, who calculates it for her garden guests. 71,900 minutes equals 49 days. A time when, according to Kiwi, one could make a pilgrimage from Mainz to Dubai. Or eight times to the moon and back – by rocket, of course, not on foot.

Welcome to the big party in the countryside and on the Lerchenberg, welcome to the anniversary “TV garden”! To celebrate the day, Kiewel has squeezed into a mermaid skirt shimmering in all the colors of the rainbow, which looks a bit like a glitch at the bottom of the television screen. For the Twitter community – for some the best thing about “ZDF Fernsehgarten” – that is of course a steep template: “Kiwille, the no-longer virgin?”

Matze Knop is a guest and is verbally groped by Kiwi in a motherly manner with “my darling” and “my darling”. Knop has the qualities to take things, he relentlessly motivates the TV community to take part in the “Selfie Challenge”. Nevertheless, the selfies arrive only hesitantly at first – the “Fernsehgarten” audience is not directly among the “digital natives”. And will probably send the self-portraits by post to ZDF.

Armin Roßmeier, Franken’s answer to Paul Bocuse, prepares “pulled pork” in the smoker disguised as a locomotive, the neck steak alternative for the senior’s plate. You could listen to him for hours as he pronounces words like “roasted aromas”, “smoked salt” and “anbraten” with the “R” rolled up through the Main valley.

The “Fernsehgarten” also treats itself to a touch of “Wetten, dass ..?” on this birthday Sunday: Alexander, with his sneaker, lights matches in a backflip – our top performers have to find a home somewhere on public television until the Wett -Dino is back on November 19th. Or should Kiewel’s rock disaster possibly be a moderator’s application with reference to Thomas Gottschalk’s taste in fashion?

The musical line-up for the festive day will once again be drawn from the lower drawers: with B-class artists such as Ramon Roselly, Annemarie Eilfeld, Sarah Zucker, Alexander Eder and Mars Saibert, you won’t get anyone on the sofa in bright sunshine. After all: Alphaville serves a few acoustic memorabilia from the years when the “ZDF television garden” was still a barely cultivated field. And Culcha Candela spreads Ballermann mood, but in view of the leopard shorts over the bright red leggings on the singer’s part, one almost longs for Kievel’s pixelated skirt.

At the end, Kiwi lets it circle to Culcha Candela, but even that doesn’t drive the party thermometer up any more. Matze Knop takes selfies, the ZDF chemtrails are still easy to read in the blue sky over the Lerchenberg, and the 600th “TV Garden” is already television history. Or as the Twitter community put it: “I’ll never watch that again! See you next week friends.”
