The Numbers | comment |
The Numbers is a 2022-2023 Greek musical comedy series airing on Greek state channel ERT 1 based on an idea by Foivos Delivorias.Foivos Delivorias stars as a less succesful version of his real life self, with his only real hit in the last ten years, a children's song called The Little Crocodile, being more of an embarrassment to him rather than a joy. When a mysterious producer gives him the opportunity to remake the famous variety show of the 1930s, Attik's Mantra (which means Yard), he will have to balance his temperamental acts and his money-hungry boss with his vision.The show is in essence a Spiritual Successor to Foivos' Terrace, and was initially pitched as a TV adaptation of the show. Foivos' Terrace was a live variety show that performed from 2017 to 2022 (with COVID breaks) that shared much of the cast in The Numbers, and the loose format of a variety show with a different guest each week.To get ahead of something: In Greek, any sort of performer is called a Number, often in a derogatory tone.The series has run for one season with 24 episodes and production is in talks for the second one.By law, all the episodes are available to watch in Greece on state streaming site ERTFLIX. | |

Age Lift | |
The Numbers / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: For no clear reason, Foivos is stated to be 45 in the pilot. In real life, he was 49 at the time, which he confirms in The Circle. It's very likely that this is something left from earlier drafts. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
The Numbers / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Very often, but not enough to qualify as No Fourth Wall. Generally, fourth wall breaks are reserved for comedic reasons and are generally done by the main characters. The Circle is the exception, as the whole plot of the episode is that the characters have wrapped up the season (called a "circle" in Greek), and are lamenting that it didn't go how they hoped. | |

The Friends Who Never Hang | |
The Numbers / int_1ed73929 | comment |
The Friends Who Never Hang: Danae and Harry never share a scene. They closest they get is when he talks to her during the four person emergency meeting in I'm Counting Errors. Justified in that they have entirely separate acts and no common traits. | |

Different World, Different Songs: Since Nefeli Fasouli doesn't exist in this universe, Foivos wrote her songs slightly wrong and Danae sings them instead. Of course, Danae is voiced by Fasouli, so it loops back around. | |

And You Thought It Would Fail: In-Universe, Jonathan has serious doubts about the profitability of the Mantra and nearly pulls the plug to turn it into an escape room. Somehow, the show sells out every week, despite often bringing in what are (in their universe) nobodies to sing. | |

Age-Gap Romance | |
The Numbers / int_52196c03 | comment |
Age-Gap Romance: Danae is a good twenty years younger than Foivos. Foivos admits Attik's relationship with the other Danae was also problematic due to the age difference but he doesn't see any connection with his situation. They do break up soon after, though, and he's very much over it later on. | |

Book Ends: In the pilot, the concert at the University of Philosphy in 1998 is mentioned, and is often refrenced throughout the series. The last song performed, Ekeini (Her), is the song Foivos famously performed at that concert. | |

Unexpectedly Real Magic: Alex straight up knows magic. He can teleport, read the future, make multiples of himself, and more. Despite this, all he does on stage are parlor tricks or backup dancing for some other act. Of course, his magic runs on Rule of Funny and can't resolve plot points early. | |

Lost in Translation | |
The Numbers / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: Ignoring every single reference to Greek culture that gets lost to foreign viewers, a character's name doesn't translate. Harry emphasizes that his last name is Kickass with two s's. The swear word in the original (Γαμάτος) is written with one μ, which is why he always reminds people that his name is written with two μ. The English equivalent would be "Kickasss with three s's". | |
