Ждут его дома всегда...его папины дочки.note
Daddy's Daughters (Папины дочки, Papiny Dochki) is a Russian Dom Com that premiered on CTC in 2007.
The show is about the life of Sergei Vasnetsov (Andrei Leonov), whose wife Ludmila (Nonna Grishaeva) left him to raise their five daughters (Miroslava Karpovich, Anastasia Sivaeva, Darya Melnikova, Liza Arzamasova, and Katya Starshova) in Moscow.
For a couple of years, the show kept this format, but then Ludmila returned and Sergei went home to Krasnoyarsk for a while. Eventually, they reunited and had a son, while the older daughters have begun to work or to study in universities.
The show claims to be Russia's first original sitcom, and has received several awards.
This series provides examples of:

. - Bouquet Toss: At Dasha's wedding in Episode 271, the bouquet goes to Sergei and Ludmila.

- Choleric/Realist: Eugenia (most active)
- Phlegmatic/Supine/Apathetic/Conflicted: Galina Sergeevna (her character waves around a lot depending on the episode)
