- TriviaGuest actors Geert Loyens (Gino) and Kurt Loyens (Didier) are brothers. Geert is employed by art designer Kurt and works at his company Decosfeer as late as 2023.
- GoofsBoma's house is staged as half a castle by Boma himself, saying there are "rooms he has never been in". In later titles the exterior comes into view, showing the house's surface is rather small compared to half a castle. From Het huwelijk (2005), however, Boma's house does appear to have the size like mentioned here.
- Quotes
Carmen: Pascale, you have no idea how happy Bieke is. She claims she's never been happier.
Pascale: Really?
Carmen: You won't believe it but she loves to drink a glass of wine with dinner. She's so easy to be with.
Pascale: See? What did I tell you, Oscar?
Oscar: [keeps reading his newspaper near the counter] She must have changed.
Carmen: I don't mean to pry but I simply don't get why you're on completely different pages with her.
Pascale: We're not on different pages.
Oscar: She's on different pages with us.
Carmen: I'm not surprised.
Oscar: What's that supposed to mean?
Carmen: Yesterday, I've read there's no such thing as troubled kids, though there are troubled parents. Anyway, bye.
[she leaves]
Pascale: See? I always said you're too tough on her.
Oscar: You always said I wasn't strict enough. It's you and your whining.
Pascale: Oh, I've done it again! And you? You're always being angry over nothing!
[she storms off]
Oscar: [speaks up madly] I'm angry, you say? I'm the least angry person on this planet!
[to team mascot Jefke]
Oscar: And you have to shut up, alright?
- Crazy credits"THE ORIGINALS" message appears in a framework at the start of each intro with theme song from De nieuwe truitjes (1990) to Love Story (1993), to honor the titles with Carry Goossens (Oscar) in the lead and Walter Michiels (Pico) co-starring. This has been the case for all re-runs and DVD and Blue-ray releases since the 2010s.

[main theme season 1 to 10]
It couldn't last, which is more heartbreaking when they give you this ending. Absolutely loved that moment, really. Sadly, I wasn't born in the sixties, seventies or eighties and by that I didn't experience the show's first seasons when they first aired. Simply legendary, a unique feel. Well, the quality isn't to be sneezed at. Boy, did it turn awful and childish in the final years. They're two different shows.
Content-related I didn't have a hard time watching this. The character Bieke has a hard time carrying the weight, though. I just felt the other actors had to give a nudge. An Swartenbroekx is central as Bieke. The period here is "Bieke got older but her father and Pico are still there". Apart from the first episode "De motorfiets" that turned out to be enough for making good to very good episodes. None of them are great, though. It's the second half of the season that gets the job done. "Cinema, cinema" is the first great episode of the fourth season. This episode is less great, but the ending makes up for it. However, it needs Carry Goossens and Jacques Vermeire at the top of their game to be formidable.
Bieke struggled to carry the show, having slightly changed from her original character. In later seasons, Bieke serves as the counterweight for the mischief of other, more popular characters. It's not present here as of yet, but she isn't that promiscuous anymore either. She's starting to mature, but she's not quite there yet. The first two seasons Bieke was a teenager and rebellious. In most scenes, Bieke used to get under her parents' skin with her dissolute behaviour.
Feel free to compare Bieke's earlier situation to Kelly Bundy in her first seasons, only Bieke's smarter. But then, as she started working and no longer studied Bieke became so spry (she studied in the United States early in the second season but she came home fairly quick). In 1996 things got a lot worse as the characters became over-abundant stereotypes. Bieke was no longer a teenage girl which is kinda logical. People grow. Nonetheless, I thought they went fast on her. While An Swartenbroekx, the actress portraying her, has always been a good actress to me. She always did an excellent job playing the part. That's not the problem. She fitted perfectly. Enough about Bieke, though.
In this episode, they found room for another hilarious Carry Goossens-Marijn De Valck interaction (Oscar and Boma), further seasoned by Johny Voners and Walter Michiels (Xavier and Pico). It's as spicy as ever. They badly need it, too. It wouldn't have been wise to have everything revolve around the "Bieke" character, with some legendary characters completely in the background. The plot is what kept it going. Bieke leaves the parental home, more than tired of her parents. Carmen wants to help her but she clearly underrates parenthood. A classic case of the bird wanting to spread its wings. The final moment is really touching.
