- This closest Flemish equivalent of "Third watch" (but 9 years older) is about the work of a Fire Department in a Belgian town, comprised mainly of volunteers but lead by a professional cadre, the grumpy Adjudant (as in France a rank just under Second Lieutenant) Maurice Haegeman being in daily charge and trying to impose a type of discipline even military professionals wouldn't stomach easily nowadays, under the authority of colonel Walter Halleux who is more concerned with political liaison, budget etc. Naturally the more personal aspects of life in the fire station (bunking, waiting...) and in some cases interwoven private lives also provide story lines, besides the various operations: fire alerts (false and true), kitty in a tree, removing a wasps nest etc.
- The chronicles of the inhabitants of a fictitious square in a Flemish city.

- This Flemish sitcom is entirely about the entirely wacky lower-class family Backeljau, which always speaks the most common Antwerp dialect. It consists of father François 'Cois' Backeljau, his wife Maria, the rather cunning Bomma ('granny' Thérèse, his mother), the even older pet (in dog years) Blacky, their son Franky and his wife Janine, daughter Sabrina and her husband Antonio and little nephew Lionel, the youngest but more intelligent then all his dumb relatives together and various lovers, friends and regular guests, such as the mailman and the policeman.

- Flanders' countryside in Belgium's early decades didn't belong to the hard-working farmers, like patriarch Van Paemel, who would rather die then consider any alternative to knowing his place and responding to problems like Animal farm's donkey, toiling even harder till it kills him anyhow. He rules his family expecting similar servitude, but cruel fate sees to it that his gentle son Desiré has a terrible, ill-compensated, never trialled life-long crippling rifle-accident, reducing the good, now unproductive boy to dreaming about emigration to America in never-ending pain, at the idle hands of the hunting party hosted by the baron who owns everything, and takes like his ruling class a very dim view at the demands, spearheaded by the young Socialist party, of the less docile new generation, whose protests are put down violently by gendarmes (paramiltary police)...

An exciting adventure starts for Paracelsus and his family. They get the help from Inspector Renneville from Interpol to hide from the bandits. At the end also the government asks Paracelsus to hand over his formula, after which he decides the world is better off without and destroys the formula.
