- StarsSien EggersFrank FocketynAn MillerTired of human intrest shows? These people are. "In de Gloria" looks like one of the shows where ordinary people are presented like freaks just to get a cheap laugh. The show doesn't mock the ordinary folks who appear in these shows, but the people who make them. "In de Gloria" is so painfully accurate you don't know if you want to laugh or cry. It's the kind of satire that shows you what the human race is really like.

- StarsChris van den DurpelFrank AendenboomFrans BauerAs the title suggests, this Flemish comedy format is just a vehicle for comedian Chris Van den Durpel to star in successive, unrelated sketches, as a whole series of recurring stock-characters, almost unrecognizable under heavy make up and distortions of voice and manner, such as Kamiel Spiessens (a boorish commoner), Paul Schampers (parody on journalist and presenter Paul Jambers), Belgian royal Prince Laurent, Flemish 'art pope' Jan Hoet, notoriously gross and sarcastic Flemish novelist Herman Brusselmans, boxer Firmin Crets, ostentatious queer Ronny King and gay Boys band-airhead Kevin.

- StarsJacques VermeireDavid MichielsAnn HendrickxThis Flemish sitcom is about the intertwined private and professional life of René Verschoten, a dodgy independent garage-manager who stops at nothing to gain or save money. He considers his wife Magda, who dreams of socialite standing but is never at the height of her service-club friend Hélène, and son (hence the title) Sven -who leaves the series rather soon- essentially as financial drains, but also involves them in his dubious, usually back-firing schemes, as well as his staff: Kristof, a very zealous but dumb mechanic, his secretary, cleaning lady and general household help Conny and after Sven's departure in-living cousin and lazy mechanic Kevin.
- StarsNicolette KluijverDennis WeeningErnst-Paul HasselbachDutch version of the desert island-based reality TV series.
- StarsLeo MadderArlette SterckxAnke HelsenThis medical series plays in an academical hospital where the strict and virtually inhuman Luc Gijsbrecht (replaced by Andrea Leroy in the final season) rules the roost, maintaining high quality standards in technical, financial and, most importantly, Hippocratic (i.e. medical ethics) respect, at the cost of extreme demands on his already overstretched staff, which gradually changes over the series' seasons. This adds to the intensity of the usual professional and personal interaction between the doctors, nurses and administration as well as with their home front and some patients.
- StarsTom LenaertsSteven Van HerrewegheErik Van LooyIn this quiz format, teams of two from the public at large answer questions, with this twist that one must buzz, but may not answer - hence the title which refers to the Dutch expression which literally translates as "knowing one's Pappenheimers", i.e. know (at the feudal general Wallerstein, who levied some troops from his native Pappenheim) well who one deals with. After the first round, each team gets to choose blindly a third member from a small pool of Dutch-languages celebrities, only hearing their voices and answers to a few questions probing their interests; the captain (a non-celebrity) must now decide who answers the questions before they are known, based on the announced categories. After team elimination, the members of the finalist team must each answer questions in a race against the clock, wrong answers meaning the number of questions is augmented.

The smart but naughty farmhands son's eternal mischief, pranks and disobedience drive his elders (especially teachers, family and father's grumpy employer, a rich farmer, but also neighbors and even the kind curate whose liturgical server he is) and classmates to despair in a time when a boy's punishment was still inevitable, swift and often severe; thus when his mother catches him skinny dipping she takes all his clothes home, forcing him to a long walk of shame, dreading dad's wrath all the way. This version also stresses the story's social and Flamingant aspects.
