Brother Gulsen (Gülşen Abi) (translated)

Gülşen Abi is a Turkish sitcom that aired on TRT 1 from 1994 to 1996. Running for three seasons and 115 episodes, it was filmed largely in a studio and stands as a classic example of the genre on Turkish television.

The story follows Abidin, a newspaper columnist known by the nickname Gülşen Abi, who works for the paper Haberin Olsun. As he tries to solve the troubles that readers send him by letter, he stumbles into one comic predicament after another, both at work and in his private life. The character was inspired by Güzin Abla, a real-life advice columnist, reimagined for the series as a male journalist.

Haluk Bilginer starred as Abidin, joined by a cast that included Nilüfer Açıkalın, Selim Naşit, Necdet Yakın, Yıldıray Şahinler, Erdal Küçükkömürcü and Emel Çölgeçen. The series was written by Can Barslan, directed by Uğur Erkır, and featured music by Ozan and Kenan Doğulu.
