Samson en Gert - Season 1

Samson and Gert move to their new house. Their neighbor Joop Mengelmoes stops by and offers some help. His first task is to fix the broken door bell.

Gert concentrates on an apples in the oven recipe, viewers drawings and the weekly anniversary kid cake draw. Samson has promised to help Joop Mengelmoes with his new scheme to earn money: Joop collects people's shoes, Samson cleans them. But Joop forgot to mark the shoes, so he can't work out which pair to deliver back to whom, while the mayor is among those needing theirs back urgently.

Gert is excited when Samson tells sports reporter Mark Uyterhoeven, their favorite cycling commentator, has dropped by to use their phone and will return for another call. Gert hopes to get admitted to follow a bike race in a press car, so he tries to present himself as an expert in the sport. Even in Samson hadn't digressed into absurd fairy tale references, Gert's ignorance would have been obvious.

Samson helps Gert trying to get an addition for Marlène's collection of chewing-gum used by famous people. After reading letters and showing pictures from fans, they target Flemish singer Helmut Lotti, who accepts an invitation.

Joop wants to pull a prank on Samson and Gert and makes a strange robot from outer space visit them. Samson has to sing, while Gert is ordered to do some annoying household tasks.

Gert promised Marlena a party with a real Christmas tree, but the mayor forgot his promise to bring one and the shop can't recollect his order, so they sold the last one. The shopkeeper boasts she can 'make one', but refuses to do so or help the mayor, so he converts a coat-rack on his own. Gert isn't amused, so the mayor steals the shop's own tree, but his contraption has a surprising fan.

Gert imagines it would be quite an honor to invent a new sport. Joop comes up with many ideas, however Gert does not want him to experiment with "boomerang-pie-throwing".

Samson had planned to go to the circus today, but he ended up ill and has to stay home. Out of pity clown Bassie and acrobat Adriaan decide to make a surprise visit.

Today is the day of Epiphany. Joop disguises himself as a king in order to earn some candy. He secretly gets recognized and Samson, Gert and the mayor decide pull a prank on him.

Alberto has a huge problem: there are not enough artists to play in his new opera piece. Samson immediately agrees to participate. Gert also wants to help, until he hears what part he will get.

Alberto has found a treasure map, with a cross located right on the spot of Samson's basket. Alberto starts digging and makes quite an unexpected discovery.

Samson is acting very strange, spending a lot of time in front of the mirror and asking to get combed and be put on dog perfume. Gert soon starts to suspect Samson to be in love.

Gert wants to become an art painter and makes a couple of rather worthless works. Right before an art expert arrives, Samson accidentally wrecks the top painting. Or didn't he screw it up at all?

When his phone call with Marlene is suddenly interrupted, Gert believes his girlfriend to be abducted. Meanwhile neighbor Joop is acting quite strange.

Samson and Gert want to go see today's important soccer match of F.C. De Kampioenen. They accidentally use the mayor's new coat to make their big banner.

Joop wants to become a magician and tries out his newest trick on Gert by sawing him in half. He succeeds, but soon finds out he isn't able to put both body parts back together again.

Gert is asked to play in a part about William Tell, the archer who had to shoot an arrow trough an apple on his son's head. Gert is enthusiastic, until he discovers he has to play the son.

The mayor lost a senseless bet against his Lenigem colleague Paaltjes about which village has more inhabitants for fears the agreed result, having to eat a bowl of Brussels sprouts, which all men abhor. Gert can think of one way to wriggle out: pretending he thinks he's an ape. The arrival of the ministerial delegate complicates matters, as he insists their must be an interim mayor, and Paaltjes invokes a clause that he must then eat the sprouts.

The mayor has to give an important speech today, but he has lost his voice. Samson and Gert try to help him with many tricks, but nothing seems to help.

After a fight, Gert has invited Marlène to his house to make it up again. He is busy baking a pie and asks Alberto to go find Marlène's favorite flowers, however a misunderstanding takes place.

Gert wants to participate in an animal photo contest, with a trip to Florida for two persons as the top price. Alberto offers his cat to join Samson on the photo, believing Gert will share the price.

A fearful and disguised Alberto flees into the house of Samson and Gert. They wonder what is going on and soon get a clue when the suddenly bold Willy Sommers shows up.
