Tre Vllaznit (Tosk Albanian: _Tre Vëllazëritë,_ eng: _The Three Brotherhoods)_ is ATV's first home-produced sitcom, and the Albanian adaptation of the Bosnian series _Lud, Zbunjen, Normalan (The Crazy, The Confused, The Normal)_ created by Feđa Isović and Elmir Jukić. The original series script and concept was purchased and is being adapted for the Albanian audience by producer Zijad Mehić and director Shkumbin Istrefi, with the intention of continuing the original's 309 episodes (production on which was halted after the death of the main actor Mustafa Nadarević in 2020) to completion.

The 2022 series airs on ATV in Kosovo, and on Alsat in North Macedonia. 

La Fazani's theme for the series is a mix of ska and traditional Albanian music on a çifteli, as well as including a leitmotif alluding to "The Final Countdown" by Europe. The opening visuals show brush strokes, ink blots and various patterns revealing clips of the show and cutouts of the characters, along with their credits. Each character has their own color combinations, but the show itself is a muted red, white and beige look. It is all in handwritten typefaces, under an aged film look. The show's title is represented by a logo with the number 3 forming a heart, and the word "VLLAZNIT" rendered in brush script.

Theme song by Arbër Salihu "La Fazani", mixed by Tomor Kuçi, with lyrics by Shkumbin Istrefi. Opening titles by Faton Hasani (prev: Kafeneja Jonë, O Sa Mirë, Zyrja për Gjithçka).

FULL DISCLOSURE
The first actor in this intro, Ilir Tafa, is the current director of ATV. He is the only actor in the series who was carried over from the original production of _Lud, Zbunjen, Normalan_ as he played the role of recurring character Mentor Kosova.

CONTENT NOTES
An episode count is added to the title card, so I removed it with video editing trickery to make the video evergreen. I also removed the cold open between "ATV prezanton" and the rest of the intro to retain the sense of continuity.
