I used to like Kees & Co, but the last few seasons it's not always good. Especially since Rik Hoogendoorn, who played father Ben Heistee, left the show. Rik, also wellknown for his role in "Sesamstraat", added an extra spark to the show. When he 'died' and left the show (rumour has that he had arguments with Simone Kleinsma) it was immediately noticeable that this spark was gone. The new cast couldn't replace it. The show seems to have lost it's consistency, except for Simone Kleinsma who's still a good actress. Hopefully the new 2004 season, with more new characters (Sascha Visser from "Oppassen!!!" as Steven Speier), will make a lot of viewers laugh again.
