Plafond over de vloer

Plafond over de vloer was a Dutch sitcom created by and starring Wim T. Schippers as his character Jacques Plafond, from the radio series Ronflonflon and who had previously been a supporting character on other TV series. The series ran for nine episodes in 1986, and the title translates to "Ceiling over the floor," thus serving as a pun in Dutch.

* The titular song from the Sesamstraat Ernie and Bert album Maak Er Wat Van! is used in the sixth episode, "De verloren dochter" ("The lost daughter"). Plafond is alone in his radio studio, puts on the record, and dances wildly.
* The final episode of the series, "De zoon van Jacques Plafond" ("The son of Jacques Plafond"), centers on the aftermath of Plafond claiming his wife is having a baby to avoid arrest on traffic charges. Escorted by the police to the hospital, he picks Annemarie Bakker, a woman he hasn't met, as his wife, and she assumes he's the father of her child from a one-night stand. For a brief while, they form a family, with Plafond watching Sesamstraat with the baby boy (a sketch of Ernie, who Schippers dubbed on the series, buying a snowman from Lefty). A plush Ernie sits by the TV.
* A subsequent scene in the same episode depicts Jacques using the Ernie toy, and assuming Ernie's voice, to amuse the infant.
