Retain in Zenter (pronounced /ˈriː tɛn ɪn zɛn deəː/; lit. Return to Sender) is a Paltan-Italonan Jonish-language sitcom created by Klark Rosenfeld and produced as a co-production by Paltan television network P1 and Italonan film and television production company Janssen Filmkorp. It first aired on October 10, 1959, and concluded 43 years and 6 months later on May 16, 2003.
Retain in Zenter is based in a post office serving the fictional postcode PA4 81RZ, in the fictional suburb of Grenashijr, located in Marida, Palta, where the two main characters, Sven (Greg Maes) and Lilli (Reijke Autmaste), attempt to do their work while chaos and oddities ensue throughout the post office.
Retain in Zenter lasted 43 years, making it, as of 2022, the longest-running television sitcom in present-day Jonathia, the closest modern equivalent from the same area being the Lollese-produced sitcom People, which is in it's 40th year of production. The show often airs reruns on networks owned by UnitedMedia (P1 had been bought out by UnitedMedia's predecessor, TV5 Group, in 2021) as well as Gold.

The two main characters throughout the series' 43-year run were Sven, played by Greg Maes, and Lilli, played by Reijke Autmaste. Sven and Lilli were written similar to a double act. In early seasons, Sven was often a lazy, dim-witted individual who often left his work to others, while Lilli was quite standardized and had a sense of discipline. As the series went on, the characters began to change greatly, becoming closer together. A plot aired in the opening of the nineteenth season (22 June 1979) featured Sven witnessing a gunfight in a bar, greatly traumatizing him and kicking off a character plot that would roll on until the final episode of the show.
Other characters in the show included the following:
* Marco (played by Johan Smett), the head of the post office and subsequently Sven and Lilli's boss.

Retain in Zenter has become a pop culture icon not just in Palta and Italona, but around a large amount of Tapanthia. The show has been referenced not only in other sitcoms such as Just 4 Laughs and People, but also other shows like High Jubilee, where the show was referenced in a shirt one of the characters wore in several episodes.
