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 depicts the life of Doel and his family, rooted in Betawi culture, and highlights their traditional way of life amidst the modernization of urban Jakarta.[1] Besides Rano Karno, the 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 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 among Indonesians, surpassing foreign serials that were widely broadcast by several Indonesian television stations at the time. The success of Si Doel Anak Sekolahan led Rano Karno to further develop this story in other versions, including Si Doel Anak Gedongan, the television movie Si Doel Anak Pinggiran, and three cinema films (Si Doel the Movie, Si Doel the Movie 2, Akhir Kisah Cinta Si Doel). However, of all these, only the cinema films achieved notable success. Along with Keluarga Cemara and Lorong Waktu, Si Doel Anak Sekolahan is often regarded as one of the greatest Indonesian television series.[2][3][4][5]
