–Comment: Some boys and girls in bibs and coveralls. I found the title (no pics) of this show on the last page on the Age transformation site (series T-Z), I still haven't finished it. The best, yet! And the first with a boy. I think there are also snow bibs but for now only no notable scenes (distance, grown-ups, closed jackets).

Pic 1 showing a super hero boy (Fratz Fantom) in yellow shortalls (very good) in ep Wohin verschwand Frau Pfefferkorn?. Pic 2 showing kids in red coveralls in ep Notruf aus der Weltraumschule. Pic 3 showing 2 girls sitting at school in ep Notruf aus der Schule.

There are many different titles and I mainly have checked 2 playlists (title Die heiße Spur) so only around 20 episodes. There is also a 2013 movie (Tom Turbo - Von 0 auf 111) which also needs to be checked and a 1994 documentary Die heiße Spur zur heißen Spur.

There are obviously different, new kids in almost every episode, often handsome. The main character is a talking bike. Also good swimming scenes in ep "Der Schwimmbad-Pirat" and "Dracheneier". I haven't seen it on German TV. So many still needs to be checked.

Rating at least 5-6 for now. But could be much higher. I first thought of rating ~7-8 when seeing the boy in yellow shortalls, but there are only few and brief good scenes. Later some more  headshots. There are DVDs and books by Thomas Brezina, but the series is still running (?).

Update: Some more scenes, now rating 6 instead of 5, adding tag, teen girls, men, raw denim, riding. Later also skirtalls, baggy, farm. Firefighters only grown-ups with closed jackets. Also men in fishing bibs. Boy and men in Lederhosen and boys in sailor suits.

Update 2: The superhero boy is Fratz Fantom, the nephew of villain Fritz Fantom. I think uncredited actor. Also in purple bibs (other boy) in the update and in ep Das Gold der Geiermeiers. Broadcasting Saturdays and Sundays on ORF, also on the mediathek. Girls rating 6 in update 2, boys rating 7 in update 3. Best girl in update 7, rating 7. In 2023 there is a new documentery 30 Jahre Tom Turbo. 2 brief scenes of the young Fratz Fantom in dark purple bibs.
