- DirectorDavid JankowskiStarsStéphane BernPierre-Louis BlancChristine ClercStéphane Bern helps us discover Charles de Gaulle, a man of action as well as a devoted husband and father.

- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaFlirtatious Dutch charm singer Martin Morero enjoys his success, popularity and money, and moves to the fancy Holland suburban villa area the Gooik, with his (cheated on, so guilt-)spoiled wife Cheryl Morero, who is clearly out of her depth with both their paparazzi-attracting profile and the posh neighborhood's society expectations, so she's greatly relieved when friendly neighbor Willemijn Lodewijkx takes charge of organizing the megalomaniac housewarming party in a not even finished villa like a seasoned circuit semi-professional. Alas Willemyn only does this so well because their adolescent son Roderick and two younger daughters no longer really need mothering and her husband, stuffy good provider Evert Lodewijkx, is sexually disinterested (jerking off in the shower). Worse is neighbor Claire van Kampen, a ruthless divorce lawyer, who bitches even at her perfect husband Anton van Kampen and swears eternal revenge on the upstarts, starting with a ban on all social contacts, after an accidental delivery of soil damaged her garden fence. Free of frustrations is nymphomaniac neighbor Anouk Verschuur, a hedonistic sculptor who shamelessly jumps any hunky bones, from her studly young nude models to Claire's prospective client -hence 'ripe to pick'- freezer salesman Joost, and largely leaves caring for her daughter Vlinder to Thai au-pair Tippi Wan. The late-evening party is a success, but as Claire refuses to accompany Anton, even arranges Joost's two-faced ex-to-be to come round as solo-client just then, he goes alone and falls for Anouk's flirting, alas too literally: stripped to his boxers athletic Anton dives into the pool, which alas isn't illuminated, at Willemyn's suggestion to hide it's unfinished and empty...
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaNow Anton has sadly fallen to his accidental nearly naked death in the empty Moreno pool, Martin and Cheryl just worry how it looks to the press, and heartless new widow Claire shows no emotion for her late husband nor for her orphaned teenage daughter Merel who is quickly hooking up with boys, notably Roderik, soon caught by both mothers, while Claire bitches to the notary for taking some time to clear Anton's inheritance. When bombarded with questions at the funeral, where Evert holds a fine eulogy for Anton, Anouk can't wait to get her morning costume off- and the man's, yet even more eagerly throws him out realizing a flight has landed: it's her hunky ex, pilot Tom Blaauw, Merel's sweet, studly dad, who meets the stranger who now waves a police detective badge: inspector Debussy, investigating Anton's death, which Claire hopes to see the Morenos tried for. Martin would sever all contact, Cheryl won't give up her new friends, so she brings Willemyn to the recording studio anyhow, who runs off after noticing the backup singers shamelessly flirt with her fallen idol Martin and is disbelieved as 'prudish prune' when she tells Cheryl. Debussy finally reports to his disappointed employer, surprisingly Claire's notary, that Anton probably just had an accident, while the widow expects to find a fortune in the bank-safe she didn't tell him about, but it contains only junk and- nude pictures of Anton having gay sex....
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaClaire vandalizes Anton's grave, furious about his gay pictures. Martin's generosity sounds fake after Cheryl reads his saucy text messages, so she joins Dr. Rossi's therapy group. She explains how her lap-dog compensates for a miscarriage, and to investigate Matrin's suspected infidelity hires P.I. Holtrop, who soon brings pictures of him kissing someone. Then she starts tailing him, only to 'catch' him in a hotel with his new international, male producer Ewan; they make up in the bedroom. Holtrop is also hired by Claire, but says it's a deceased airline purser. Belinde, whose husband has left her, is consoled by her boss at his home but Willemijn mistakes this for an affair. Anouk's Thai maid Tipi Wan, who was scolded for her shopping, sulks trying on madam's cloths and perfume while putting the pampered dog outside. Claire's daughter calls Holtrop, she fears her mother took the gun to shoot her father's lover at the airport.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaP.I. Holstra rushes to purser Bootsma, in fact his own gay friend, and tells him to hide in Amsterdam for Anton's armed widow Claire. In fact she was accidentally diverted by Anouk's hunky ex Tom, long enough to come to her senses and focus on the financial pit he left by seducing Herbert van Bokwijk, the filthy rich husband of divorce client Nouche, an tennis fiend of hers which she even convinces to back down on having him cleaned out, but that will backfire. The same Herbert stands up his youth mate Willemijn, who hoped to make her Lodewijk jealous at the very same dinner at the Morenos' house. Meanwhile son Roderik, whom dear daddy gave extra pocket money to innocently bridge the gap between developing adolescent hormonal passion and getting it satisfied, finds what he really looked for when Tipi wanders in. Tom is pleasantly surprised when his libertine ex started a painting period devoted to female nudes, but disappointed she still values her 'freedom' while he hoped to get back together after dumping his stewardess.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaClaire camouflages her budget shopping, but must ask oldest friend Willemijn to help pay off fl. 100,000 on her late husband Anton's debt; she refuses on principle. Daughter Merel has no idea and keeps spending. Yet, just when Claire's desperate enough to sell her house. Flemish rep Sluyter makes Cheryl a generous offer to front the 'fast slim' product Hydroslank in Holland, but she hesitates as she wants a baby. Martin only worries about press speculation about their infertility. Willemijn hopes Anouk could talk to Lodewijk about their wilted sex-life, but he's rather too interested, while her own ex Tom.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaDr. Rossi now gives therapy to all the housewives: Willemyn, about her lack of love life; Anouck about her guilt for having neglected motherhood; Cheryl about her frustrated child-wish and even Claire, who came to hate/financially prey on all men. Anouck resolves to spend more time with Vlinder and her daddy Tom, but is tearfully shown the door when she tells Willemyn about Evert's crush on her. Evert actually convinced famous London gallery owner Norbert Lexington to come see her work, and he gives her an exposition there; she immediately neglects and looses Tom again. Cheryl is tested fertile, so she must convince Martin to have his sperm checked. Anouck shows Claire a gold-diggers pickup-bar where they meet men they know. Anouck finds herself locked in at Sybold's while Claire falls for the penniless hunky waiter Max.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaClaire freaks out when she finds daughter Merel's adolescent friend Amir, a refugee, in the bathroom. Robert Bovenlander is prepared to help her financially as a 'private investment', so she dumps sexy waiter Max. Perfect housewife Willemyn thought that Rodrick being kicked out off another school was her worst problem. However Evert asks for a divorce because she no longer interests him 'as a woman'. Anouk still puts her artistic ambitions above Tom, and wants to help hunky tennis instructor Manuel, now the club's secretary has absconded with the treasury. Willemyn thinks of a benefit auction, and insists even after the thief and money are apprehended. After a row with Anouk's hopeless Thai au-pair, a stone is thrown through the window; Tom suspects scorned Evert. Martin's backing vocal mistress, Wendy, still makes him take crazy risks and nags about a musical duet. Cheryl is worried about puppy Sinatra's hearing, but Martin's cellphone bills provide obvious proof and she is fired on the spot, although this is a problem for the recording studio; Martin is still thrown out of his own villa. Martin is desperate to win her back; even choosing a fat new vocal. When Tom drops by to pick up the cuddly toys Cheryl donates to his Bombay children charity, they make love; just then Martin drops 2000 red roses from a plane. Tom romantically outbids Anouk at Manuel's date auction. Dr. Rossi tells- Tippi Wan he gets depressed by listening to all the sob stories.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaNow Cheryl has taken Martin back, the doctor diagnoses his slow sperm is hopeless. He forgets about that when she happily reveals she is finally pregnant, and lies to Tom. They'll all realize what happened at the 'pregnancy party' she throws, when Anouk asks Tom to remarry. Meanwhile Willemyn had turned unreasonably aggressive towards Lodewijk after finding out their teenage son, Roderick, is using marijuana. A referral from Cheryl to a plastic surgeon reboots her marital love-life: the divorce seems canceled. Tipi Wan found the pregnancy test and tells Lodewijk she's expecting Roderik's baby, but for 100,000 Euro... Claire's waiter, Max, finds a way to become a financially acceptable alternative for her dirty old courter, Robert Bovenlander, by cheating with her at his new job as roulette croupier, but that has a nasty consequence.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaClaire has been knocked out with a bat and left in the pool, she's in a coma. Cheryl and Willemyn promise to take care of everything, especially for daughter Merel. Anouk grudgingly asks her former lover, police detective Debussy, to take a 'second pool case' after hours, but he only finds it couldn't be Max. As if Willemyn's divorce hysteria wasn't bad enough for Evert, whose hotel bill becomes excessive, son Roderick admits he had probably unsafe sex with Tippi Wan. She only got a tenth of the 100,00Euros she asked Evert so that she could return to Bangkok, but she stayed. Tippi is meanwhile engaged by Cheryl, mainly as companion now that Martin doesn't dare to get physical while she's pregnant. Cheryl refuses Tom's demands to leave Martin for the baby and marry, or even to get a DNA test; after talking to Evert, both fathers try again to rekindle their fertile marriages.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaClaire comes out of her coma and has a visit of a detective. Anouk makes plans for Vlinder's birthday, witch is coming soon. Martin has problems with the pregnant Tippi Wan.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaClaire is released from hospital, but home is a lonely place. She pretends her daughter Merel, in fact in jail for the murder attempt, is at boarding school, and gets Willemyn to foot a 6.000 Euro monthly 'board' bill. Willemyn is miserably lonely now Evert is sleeping with Diane in the garden shed. Willemyn fails to break up with him, then tries to dump the young daughters on him for an unexpected 'dad day'. They can go without her care better then she expected. Anouck admits after two weeks she won't make it being a real mother for Vlinder and forgo sex, so after the kids got up and made breakfast before going to school alone, Anouck starts interviewing for a live-in au-pair. Grudgingly she accepted an experienced woman the girl preferred, but left confirming too late, so she can hire the young, hunky Juriaan, from the very well-reputed van Landschot Troost family. Tippi Wan starts to milk her own pregnancy in order to be spoiled by (also expectant) Cheryl, who needs companionship as lingerie still fails to get husband Martin frisky.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaNow her ex Evert even makes a trip to Milan with his mistress Diana van der Kieft, housemother Willemijn decides to start living as a spoiled single, and expects her friends to help her get started, especially free spirit Anouk, who is however more interested in her daughter's new au-pair Jurriaan, who she wanted to get rid of till she believed him to be gay but turns out ideal and interested in-living lover-material for herself. Cheryl worries more about her philandering husband Martin who by buying a flashy new car attracts the undesirable attention of tax inspector Van Dijk, which problem is surprisingly removed by the sneaky, fake-pregnant thieving Thai maid Tippi-Wan they took in after Anouk threw her out. To face her bills, Claire takes in rich wheelchair patient Ernst.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaBecause his latest record release was slow, Martin has accepted to become the star in a reality soap. Cheryl worries about her privacy, but it's his adulterous affair they film. Tom has to sign a visits agreement for Vlinder with Anouk Verschuur, who is now 'doing' in-living Jurriaan and presents him to her parents as the love of her life. Claire delivers for Ernst's fat monthly contribution but is found having lied to be childless when she brushes off Willemyn for a visit to Merel, all the way in Zutfen; she goes with Anouck instead, and finds out it's no boarding 'finishing school' but a jail and what the minx did, yet takes her side and regrets paying Claire on false pretenses. Ernst's compassion gets him sexually rewarded.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaEvert finally realizes his girl friend Diane is just too young for him, so he's furious when Willemyn seems to fall for Louis, an elder gentleman who tried to intervene when her purse was snatched. Cherryl is at the end of her wits, suffering from pregnancy, almost knowing Martin is unfaithful again and his common mother moving in unannounced 'for a few weeks'; when Martin -who actually feels guilt- cancels their pregnancy yoga class, unable to shake off his floozy, Tom goes with her. Anouk turns 40, just after Jurriaan walked out on her, but tells everyone she's decided to stop celebrating ('36' for years), but when she meets Louis too finds back her taste for life, even when Willemyn suspects he's really just after their money. Claire gets a last hefty sum out of her wheelchair-lodger before he leaves to Switzerland for a new treatment.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaMerel has been released from juvenile prison and claims to be reformed. Mother Claire is in no way inclined to believe her or to take her back. Anouck supposedly takes the girl under her dubious wing but only has eyes and erogenous zones for hunky barman Jeffrey. Starved for male companionship and desperate to make Evert jealous, Wilemyn passes her common plumber Jan Jaap for a romantic lover. Cheryl is ever more frustrated with boorish Martin who can't understand she accepted writing a magazine column as a challenge, alas above her abilities.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaDr. Rossi tells Tipi Wan the Christmas season depresses him as his patients turn to the church rather than therapy. Cheryl has an early Christmas child, but with Tom acting as birth coach. Martin is doing his jealous floozy, who throws a dangerous tantrum in the car while the first-ever father (he thinks, at least) drives to hospital. Anouk's ex Hugo, now a married museum official, convinces her to make a replacement 'stat' for a vandalized sculpture, but she allows herself to be seduced by a well-endowed model, Roderick's mate Bart-Jan, who claims to be 22, but turns out to be Hugo's 17 year-old son. After Roderick is caught shoplifting, Willemyn comes down like a ton of bricks and blames Evert, the response helps her realize their divorce may be the root-cause.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaCheryl poses for the press with baby boy Remy, then throws Martin out (who survived the car accident with his floozy) to Willemyn's garden shed, now that Evert has his own home. She also moves to a smaller place but there is trauma for the kids who refuse to leave most of their belongings behind, yet she refuses to return Evert's family heirloom silver. Tom behaves fatherly, Anouck still shows no parental streak at all. The possible fathers roll about fighting about who is the rightful one. Now Ernst is back, he focuses frustrated on the still medically faulty mechanics of his love-life. The girls enjoy the spa, especially new Tantric massage to relieve various pains, or in Anouk's case the hunky new masseur Stag, who is however happily married and tells her he pities and scorns nymphos as the utter lack of self-respect.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaNow they have moved to the small house the kids hate, Roderick rebels against his mother's slave-driving and moves to dad's. Anouck has 'bought' studly masseur Steg Hartman's professional services full-time, but he retains his professional attitude- if he can hold out. The nonreligious Morenos decide to have Remy baptized, just for fun and publicity, but the curate drives a hard bargain to reserve the whole church for one child's media circus. Willemyn only accepts the role of godparent with Tom if Cheryl tells Anouck that he's the father. Anouck goes sanctimoniously ballistic, while the Morenos' mutual infidelity weighs heavily. Potency-frustrated Ernst makes Claire and Merel's life miserable.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaMerel's misbehavior now extends to staying out all night with Roderick. Ernst steps in to give her the firm hand she needs, insisting on study choice and a summer job, but Claire throws him out. Steg now enjoys 'athletic' Anouck physically. Cheryl learns that people consider the way the Moreros throw money around the opposite of class. She and Willemyn organize a benefit for a Thai orphanage and Martin's waning image, but get little volunteered support. Tom accepts the DNA test Cheryl shows to prove Martin is Remy's father. Her present demure works don't sell; a gift from an artist-'friend' proves worth a fortune, but she looses it, albeit to a better cause.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaWillemyn is moody, atypically unhelpful and critical. Tipi Wan refuses to switch her day off and babysit after being assigned a new designer room as her old one is turned into a play room for little Remy. Claire can only get her house rented if she vacates it stat, so she moves into Willemyn's garden shed with ingrate Merel but is seen dining with 'unfaithful' Evert to get his investment advice. Anouck fears well-behaved Vlinder is too 'tame' and takes Claire in for a while. Martin spoils his mother Greet Hogenbrink on her 65th birthday, Cheryl is rather jealous.
- DirectorWill KoopmanStarsLinda de MolAnnet MalherbeTjitske ReidingaThe other girls are tickled pink when Claire remarks their new neighbor, who rents her house, is francophone charm singer Jean-Louis Sarly, so they agree to help protect his privacy. Seeing him strip to work in the buff, Claire asks the real estate agent to throw the nudist out, yet he feels she's playing hard to get, but not for him. Anouck gets physical within the hour, but wakes up with an allergic rash- from Willemyn. Especially now her haughty, posh, never satisfied ma, Mrs. Verbrugge, visits, Willemyn turns to Dr. Rossi when her dumbest daughter, Annabel, is refused entry from the family's traditional Grotius gymnasium (Classical secondary school), but he is haunted by memories of maternal abuse himself. Cheryl eagerly offers Jean-Louis her pool, so he swims starkers, even with her; Tippi Wan secretly takes pictures. When this story hits the press, Martin moves out to his ma Greet, who insists on a divorce and custody of Remy, but the girls all plead nothing happened.
