The success story began on March 12, 1996 with the episode “Bombs on Km. 92”. 10.2 million viewers watched the pilot episode at the time. Contrary to many people’s beliefs, Semir Gerkhan (Erdogan Atalay) is not part of the “Cobra 11” team from the first episode. He joins in the third episode. The episode is aptly titled “The New Partner” and was also shown in March 1996.
