Switch Off!

For about 25 years, until 2005, Peter Lustig presented the ZDF children’s program Löwenzahn, Dandelion. At the end of the program he told his young viewers: Abschalten! Switch off! When he died in February 2016, the obituaries quoted the line. His successor, Guido Hammesfahr, dropped it. He tells the children instead that he now has something better to do.
