"THE ORIGINALS" message appears in a framework at the start of each intro with theme song from De nieuwe truitjes (1990) to Love Story (1993), to honor the titles with Carry Goossens in the lead and Walter Michiels co-starring.
From season 1 to season 4, Oscar falls during the opening credits. When the actors line-up as their character for the group photo to be taken, they constantly swap positions. Oscar is brought to a fall by Pascale and Bieke when they unintentionally step back. Oscar leaves in Love Story (1993) and his spot is taken by Xavier from De nieuwe start (1994). Xavier trips over a bicycle and lands on his back on the grass. These remained the opening credits until the episode Smakelijk! (1998) when a new intro featuring Bernard was introduced.
In the opening credits of season 9 and season 10, Carmen's dog Nero can be heard barking when Bernard holds the Yorkshire Terrier in his hands.
