What happens

In de Gloria (English: "In the Glory") is a Belgian TV sketch comedy show, directed by Jan Eelen and produced by the company Woestijnvis that lasted from 11 February 2000 to 28 April 2001. It is a mockumentary series which satirizes reality television and human interest shows, especially targeting the way regular people are exploited by media. The show ran on the Belgian public TV channel Canvas for two seasons of 10 episodes each. In Flanders itself, the series received critical acclaim and continues to enjoy significant popularity, with several sketches having gained classic status. Despite the local popularity, the show has never been exported outside of Belgium. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
