BKM produced Güldür Güldür, a Turkish comedy and entertainment program made up of standalone sketches. Its first season reached screens on FOX on February 27, 2013; when it moved to Show TV it was renamed Güldür Güldür Show, and the first season on Show TV was numbered as season one again. As of June 13, 2026 it stands at 13 seasons and 442 episodes, which makes it one of the longest-running entertainment productions on Turkish television. It has also won the Golden Butterfly Award for Best Comedy Series.

Host Ali Sunal is the son of the celebrated comedian Kemal Sunal. In each episode the team takes a different topic from its own point of view, and most stories draw on daily life in Turkey, especially Istanbul, with a comic eye on modern living. Episodes run about 105 minutes. The ensemble has included Alper Kul, Çağlar Çorumlu, Doğa Rutkay, Onur Buldu, Onur Atilla, Meltem Yılmazkaya, İrem Sak, Özge Borak, Burak Topaloğlu and Doğan Akdoğan.

Celebrity guests appeared every week in the early years and now come only occasionally. A children's version, also titled Güldür Güldür, was made as well; it was hosted by Kemal Sunal's daughter Ezo Sunal and directed by Tuğçe Soysop.

Through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

One of those shows you can put on with the whole family. The sketches come from everyday life, especially in Istanbul; adults laugh as they recognize their own troubles, and children enjoy the exaggerated characters. Still, little ones may miss some of the jokes, and some references are aimed at grown-ups. Episodes run around 105 minutes, hard to finish in one sitting; watching in pieces works better.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

It is heart-warming to see Ali Sunal on stage, not in the shadow of the legacy left by his father Kemal Sunal but with a warmth of his own. Güldür Güldür's finest moments come in sketches that tenderly magnify the small situations of daily life; that was the way of the old comedy masters too. Yet the need to find a new topic every week sometimes pushes the humor towards shouting and exaggeration, and a fine observation gives way to crude noise. Still, this labor spread over thirteen seasons is one of the important stops in our television comedy.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Not a classic series but a sketch show: instead of character arcs, each episode brings a new topic. Still, reaching 13 seasons and 442 episodes shows how solid the team's chemistry is. The way names like Alper Kul, Çağlar Çorumlu and Doğa Rutkay play off each other is the show's real engine. It kept its rhythm through the move from FOX to Show TV, but once the weekly celebrity guests of the early years thinned out, some episodes felt more monotonous. Best watched selectively; not every episode hits the same.
