Plot
Production
In October 1995 the film producer Ivar Zimmermann became aware of Viktor Laffmeyer. Zimmermann had been interested in a new series and he liked the Tom Teufel comics. Laffmeyer also showed interest in a television series about Tom Teufel. The two were able to win Flingor Studios and BRF as production companies.
Tom and the Neo-Ochsenbeinians which is based on the comic story of the same name in Tom Teufel Comic #1, was the first episode that was broadcasted on March 8th, 1997 by BRF 2 . An early version of this episode, which is about 10 minutes long, was shown in December 1996 as a short film before the film Death to my Life as Teenager in the cinemas. This version is known these days as the pilot of the series.
