[edit] Title
The title means "Those and me". "Those" refers to the women surrounding the series' main character, a hopeless womaniser. It was based on Costas Pretederis' earlier hit series Ekeines kai Ego (1976), and featured Lambros Konstantaras in the role of Lambros Donganos, Antonis Yakovakis as his friend Dimitris Marikos and Rena Voutsina as Debora. The original series was directed by Dimitris Nikolaidis. Pretederis was also the writer for the 1996 version.
[edit] Main characters
[edit] Zahos Donganos
The protagonist of this series is Zahos Doganos (Bezos) a rich ladies' man whose interests revolve around women and partying hard. Although he has a fiancee, Eleni, this doesn't seem to affect his life. In fact in every episode he dates a different female who in most cases comes from his past. In a few episodes we see him with huge lists of the names of women he has dated in the past. He lives with his housekeeper Debora (an African girl) who is also his protegee. Zahos is completely against marriage, in contrast with some of the other main characters of the show. He co-owns the "Doganos-Marikos" corporations along with his friend and associate Dimitris Marikos. One of their best clients is Iason Papapetrou who gets tricked all the time by Zahos because of his affection for him. One of Zahos' most favorite places for entertainment is bouzoukia, where he goes with either ladies or his friends and relatives; actually in most episodes we see him sing too.
[edit] Dimitris Marikos
Marikos is Zaho's friend and associate. He is a workaholic. He always tries to advise Zahos, although Zahos never listens to him. He is often teased for his weight, either by Zahos or Lili (girlfriend of Petrakis, Zahos' nephew and a secretary at "Donganos-Marikos" corporations). In most episodes he appears to be single but often shows up with his girlfriend Mara. He always gets mad with Zahos, mostly because he never comes to the office, and generally about his way of life. However, it's obvious that sometimes he envies Zahos.
[edit] Deborah
Debora (pronounced "Thevora") is Ζahos' housekeeper. She comes from Africa and like all the other characters she is teased a lot for her skin color. She lives with Zahos. Her main characteristic is that she pronounces all words and names wrong; for example she calls Zahos "Mr. Zahous", Eleni "Ilini," and Papapetrou "Papatreha". Debora has a boyfriend, Ksenofon (she calls him "Ksifounon"), who appears in a few episodes but he doesn't like talking, so he almost never speaks. The writers tried to make fun out of that by showing him and Debora talking on the phone. Debora likes bouzoukia like Zahos and she listens to Sakis Rouvas and other Greek singers. She only knows how to make spinach pie (spanakopita; Greek: σπανακόπιτα) and she calls it "spakanopita" and everything else that can be made with spinach, something that often irritates Zahos.
