Verschoten en Zoon
Season 1
Not Rated
This 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.

E5BezuinigingenStingy René is warned that his staff might strike, but seeing the appointment book about empty, decides to save on wages but provoking them with an absurd list of measly cuts and restrictions, cheap or no longer provided material, almost no breaks, even bring your own water to flush. He gets the strike, except Kristof, but then clients turn up in droves, so he begs his staff back, but spender-bug wife Martha spills the beans so now they strike with demands. Meanwhile the cue of clients gets restless, including one René better hadn't insulted: the tax inspector. Sven's plan to get secretary Babs to accept a ride home, evens sabotaging her car, yields nothing but a slap in the face.
