Die Sendung mit der Maus
Die Sendung mit der Maus, often Die Maus, is a German children's television series. The show first aired on 7 March 1971. Originally called Lach- und Sachgeschichten für Fernsehanfänger, it was controversial because West German law prohibited television for children under six years of age. Today, the show is beloved and easily recognized among Germans for its theme, its mascots and the introduction as "Lach- und Sachgeschichten".
