Seasons
1. Op de planken
Kegelvereniging De Brulboeien zit krap bij kas. Deleden en hun aanhang voeren een toneelstuk op om geld binnen te krijgen. De regisseur biedt Jaap de hoofdrol aan. Jaap krijgt visioenen van een prachtige toneelcarrière, zeker als Willy van Hemert naar de première komt kijken.
2. De golfspeler
Jaap probeert met zijn baas, de heer Harmsen, aan te pappen door te beweren dat hij kan golfen, Harmsens favoriete sport. Harmsen nodigt Jaap uit voor een partijtje golf. Nu moet Jaap alleen nog leren golfen...
3. De hoge noot
Bij het opruimen wil Nel een trompet van Jaap weggooien. Hij realiseert zich weemoedig dat hij nooit de hoge noot heeft gehaald, nooit echt iets bereikt heeft in zijn leven. Dan krijgen ze bezoek van iemand die vroeger in dezelfde woning heeft gewoond: Simon de Wit, van de winkelketen. Meneer De Wit adviseert Jaap: onderken de goede en slechte punten en ga gewoon door. Jaap gaat gemotiveerd aan de slag...
4. De slaapwandelaar
Siem heeft last van slaapwandelen en Jaap heeft er last van dat hij hem steeds uit de dakgoot moet redden. Directeur Harmsen vraagt Jaap mee voor een werkbezoek in Groningen. De slaapwandelende Siem gaat mee.
5. Je neemt er wat van mee
Jaap doet mee aan een televisiekwis in de hoop duizend gulden te winnen. Zijn specialisatie is het Nederlandse lichte lied. Om te oefenen speelt Siem de wijsjes mee op een gehuurde piano.
6. Een hondenleven
Nel heeft stiekem een hondje in huis genomen, terwijl ze weet dat Jaap niet van honden houdt. Ze verbergt het hondenvoer onopvallend in de keukenkast. Jaap en Siem ontdekken het voer, maar denken dat het broodbeleg is...
7. Een zaak van leven en dood
Nel heeft de hond van haar moeder door de dierenarts laten onderzoeken. Jaap leest de dramatische uitslag en denkt het op hem slaat. Hij realiseert zich dat hij niets nalaat. Om aan geld te komen stelt Siem voor het verhaal aan de Wereldkroniek te verkopen.
8. De broer van Nellie
Door één van Jaaps "slimme" bezuinigingsplannen wordt hij zelf ontslagen. Nel heeft de oplossing: ze gaat solliciteren en vindt een baan als secretaresse. Maar om de baan te krijgen, moet ze liegen dat ze ongetrouwd is en dat ze samenwoont met haar "broer" Jaap.
9. De ring
De vriendschap tussen Jaap en Siem wordt zwaar op de proef gesteld als Siem een mooie ring koopt voor zijn collega Huub Scholten, die promotie heeft gemaakt. Des te pijnlijker is het als Jaap de ring past en hem niet meer af krijgt.
10. De dienstbode
Jaap klaagt over Nels huishoudelijke prestaties. Nel heeft zich echter de hele dag uitgesloofd en is het spuugzat. Ze neemt een baan en betaalt daarmee een dienstmeisje. Via het arbeidsbureau komen ze aan Sophie, maar dat is nou niet het type dienstmeisje dat Jaap zich had voorgesteld.
11. Vrouwelijk schoon
Jaap, Nel, Siem en Zus gaan op bezoek bij een collega van Jaap, Arnold Buisrogge. Jaap wil een wit voetje halen bij Arnold omdat hij bijna chef is. Hij vergeet dit echter aan Nel en Zus vertellen. In huize Buisrogge slijmt Jaap erop los over de inrichting en over Arnolds vrouw Karin. Dat schiet Nel en Zus in het verkeerde keelgat.
12. Huurverhoging
Jaap heeft een rijmpje van de dokter geleerd, om te kalmeren bij een woede-aanval. Hij wordt direct op de proef gesteld als de huisbaas met een huurverhoging komt. Jaap is woedend en weigert te betalen.
