* ''[[Tatort]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1970|11}}: Known as ''Scene of the Crime'' in the USA. A German-language detective series which began airing in November 1970 on Das Erste in [[West Germany]], in 1972 on ORF 2 in Austria, and from 1990-2001 and again starting in 2011 on SF1 in Switzerland. Over 800 episodes have been produced, although the regional ARD broadcasters, ORF, and SF all contribute locally-produced episodes to the series, so that rather than having one central cast and location, different episodes will feature different casts and settings. Its [[East Germany|East German]] counterpart ''Polizeiruf 110'' has aired over 320 episodes since June 1971, on Fernsehen der DDR until 1990 and on Das Erste following the re-unification. Both shows share a timeslot in [[The Berlin Republic]].
