- After mysterious things happen in the boarding school Haus Anubis, eight teenagers, who live there, get to the bottom of things and over time they solve the dark secret behind the wall of this house.
- A group of comedy actors imitates both local and international celebrities and television programs, often ridiculing them.
- This Flemish comical format has a title which in Dutch differs only one (phonetically close) consonant from the African country-name Uganda (actually totally irrelevant), but in dialect can be read -broken down in three words- to mean 'How is that possible?'. It has no permanent cast, rather a pool of actors (sometimes in recurring, often anonymous parts and/or as stock characters), nor a continuous script. It consists of a quick succession of short, often not or only loosely related sketches, the humor of which often has an absurdist streak.
- VTM claims that clip from its early programs show it was 'the' Flemish TV channel for the whole family. Its first, still running soap is called Familie (family). Lots of shows, such as quizzes, certainly aim(ed) for low-threshold humor, whether labeled youthful or general audience. Family is also crucial in most sitcoms and various quiz, dating or wedding formats, ultimately the Pfaff 'family reality soap'. The reality show on twins was presented by the celebrity Coppens brothers. Band brothers Koen and Kris Wauters often present together.
- VTM started a trend in Flemish TV, casting beauty queens in various programs, although most proved too dumb, only a few became genuine presenters, like Lyn Wesenbeek and sexologist Goedele Liekens who even hosts talk-shows, like aristocratic non-miss with the look Marlène de Wauters. Others are recruited from showbiz, like singer-sex symbol Wendy van Wanten.
- VTM claims to have promoted humor on TV significantly. Many established comedians as Urbanus, Peter and Stanny or Gaston and Leo got new opportunities to launch their own formats, from theater shows to imitation and sketch programs, or be part of comic panels, actors and others were discovered as comedians. Completely new for Flanders was home-video format 'Videodinges', besides candid camera.
- VTM claims these fragments show it discovered and launched lots of talented people. Certain formats are just about scouting, such as Nu of Nooit, (music) Soundmixshow or (for children) Kinderacademie and Mini Playback-show, precursors of present hits such as Idool and X-factor. Also some backup musicians achieved fame, such as pianist Tars Lootens and pop band Plaza. Some were launched in different show segments, such as acting / music, even jury members suddenly achieved wide fame.
- VTM shows recordings of its programs featuring Flemish politicians document a transition for many of them from dull professionals to celebrities. So their personal life, emotions and sense of humor became important for their electoral popularity. Many entered entertainment formats, either in quiz panels or as celebrity candidates, not to mention a fiction cameo. Some even accepted doing stunts or complete reality programs. Even those who chose to stay out of entertainment became prey of candid camera.
- VTM claims its archive show it brought the world closer to Flanders, including international stars such as actors and musicians in talk-shows, award ceremonies and various formats. Other formats, notably reality TV, presented utterly unknown foreigners or ordinary and/or famous Flemings abroad. Even soaps 'visited' countries overseas.
