De Kotmadam(1991)

De Kotmadam is a Flemish comedy series that ran for 33 years, from 1991 to 2024, making it Belgium's longest-running sitcom. Set in Leuven, the show centers on Jeanne Piens, who runs a small sweet shop and rents rooms in her house to students. Warm-hearted and devoted to her lodgers, Jeanne navigates daily life with her husband Jef, who works for the city's gardening department. Their circle expands to include Odilon Bonheur, a well-meaning but naive prison warden who regularly stops by for advice or assistance. Across its many seasons, De Kotmadam captures the humor and heart of small-town life through the interconnected lives of its characters, blending gentle comedy with genuine affection for its ensemble cast.
