Comeback is an Czech television sitcom which premiered on TV Nova on September 4, 2008^[1].

Plot

The sitcom revolves around Tomáš Pacovský (Tomáš Matonoha), owner of a music store named U Dvou Akordů (Two Accords'), and his family. His brother Ozzák (Martin Dejdar) (the name 'Ozzák' is an allusion to an Ozzy Osbourne fan) is a chronic alcoholic who loves heavy metal music. The majority of jokes and gags are about his alcoholism and his absolute belief in metal music. Ozzák professes this opinion: Music which isn't related (more or less) to metal is trash, and not worth to sell, but metal is the true quality, and so, it should be given away for free. Tomáš has a beautiful, teenage daughter Iva (Kristýna Leichtová) who is (only seemingly) the only normal member of the family.

Other characters include Simona (Simona Babčáková), a slightly odd, middle-aged woman with a very hooked nose, who owns a pub named "U Jezevce" in the first season, where Ozzák spends most of his free time and money. She has two children. They are neighbours of the Pacovský family. Lexa (Matouš Ruml) is a low-intelligent boy who is (albeit platonically) in love with Iva. Saša (Marie Doležalová) is a very quiet and good girl.^[2]

The last main character is Marcela (Dana Batulková). Her husband is Zoran Divić, a gangster from Croatia, and a big fan of HNK Hajduk Split soccer team and Tomi Paci. She helps in Tomáš' store as music is her hobby, and volunteers and is not a full-time employee. She may seem that she utterly hates Ozzák, but in fact, she actually has some sort of relationship with him.
