LIFE ISN’T EVERYTHING, broadcast on Channel 2, Israel's largest commercial channel, is the nation's most popular and longest-running sitcom, now its 8th season with 129 episodes shot so far.
It has scored top ratings consistently, with a current share of 33%. For almost every week that it's broadcast, it ranks in the top 10 most-watched weekly shows.
LIFE ISN'T EVERYTHING maps out the relationship between a married couple, Gadi and Daphne, who have an acute case of “can’t live with 'em, can’t live without 'em” syndrome. From their newlywed days, to attempts to get pregnant, to the birth of their child, to their separation and eventual divorce, LIFE covers the entire relationship spectrum with a keen, honest and understanding eye.
Most of all, the romantic comedy keeps audiences rooting for the relationship and wondering, “Will they get back together?”
And that’s just what everyone really wants - for them to get back together. Despite that fact that during the course of the series they meet new people and have new relationships, they always end up sitting on the same couch looking into each others' eyes.
This laugh-out-loud comedy is Israel's most beloved and longest-running sitcom and it succeeds because of its true-to-life story. It's a real “elbow comedy” – as people watch it, they sit and elbow each other, saying, “Hey, that’s exactly what happens in our house, that’s exactly how we fight”.
There's more to life than just living it –
life isn't everything!
