Si Doel Anak Sekolahan (literally translated as Doel the Schoolchild) is an Indonesian television series produced, written and directed by Rano Karno who also stars as Doel/Kasdullah. This series has a storyline about the life of Doel and his family from Betawi, who still maintain traditional values even though they live in the midst of the current modernization of urban Jakarta.[1] Besides Rano Karno, this series also stars Benyamin Sueb, Maudy Koesnaedi, Cornelia Agatha, Aminah Cendrakasih, Mandra, Suti Karno and Basuki.
Consisting of 6 seasons and 139 episodes, the storyline is loosely based from the novel Si Doel Anak Betawi by Aman Datuk Majoindo and also loose continuation from the film with same title directed by Sjumandjaja in 1972. In the film version, Rano Karno also plays Si Doel and Benyamin Sueb plays the role of as Doel's father. The difference is, Doel's father's name is Asman, not Sabeni like in this series.
When it first aired in 1994, the Si Doel series immediately became a favorite TV show for the Indonesian people, and was able to beat foreign serials which at that time were widely broadcast by several Indonesian television stations. The success of Si Doel Anak Sekolahan then made Rano Karno develop this story again in other versions, including Si Doel Anak Gedongan, the television movie Si Doel Anak Pinggiran, and three cinema titles although of all of them only cinema films received good success. Together with the Keluarga Cemara and Lorong Waktu, Si Doel Anak Sekolahan is often referred to as the golden masterpiece from the Indonesian television series.[2][3][4][5]
