The mission

Kupetzky is not unique to any one genre. According to the ORF broadcast is a mixture of counselor infotainment and fiction format. Kupetzky moves in a time-and place-less space, so to speak, in a parallel universe. At the beginning of the program Kupetzky is with his black Cadillac on the road. A woman's voice called " Carla " from the radio screams " Krrrupetzky ," to which his name Kupetzky usually corrected. The voice on the radio then mediates between Kupetzky and a needy person. He is in fact a full- problem solver. No matter what problem has one of his customers, Kupetzky can solve it.

The figure of Kupetzky is based on film characters such as " Mr. Fixit " from "Wag the Dog" and "Mr. Wolfe " from "Pulp Fiction". The musical background is mainly with songs by Elvis Presley, the great model Kupetzkys.
