Evli ve Çocuklu (Married with Children) was a Turkish adaptation of the American sitcom Married... with Children and ran for 8 episodes on the Turkish TV channel Kanal D in 2004. The series was a literal translation of the original series, only with Turkish actors. All dialogues, gags, and episode titles were taken from the original scripts, except for the names which were changed to Turkish ones. Al Bundy became Niyazi Tonguç, Peggy was named Jale, and the children's names were Efe and Tugba instead of Bud and Kelly.

Survivor Turkey is the Turkish version of the popular reality Survivor. This version of the show has aired on both Kanal D in 2005, and on Show TV in 2006, 2007, and 2010. From the beginning Survivor was a success in Turkey, however the cost of producing the show proved to be too much for Kanal D and even Show TV couldn't afford to produce the show on a yearly basis. Because of production costs the show was put on hiatus in 2007 and was brought back three years later. The prize for the first seasons of the show was 150,000 euros, for the second and third seasons 250,000 euros, and 500,000 dollars for the fourth season.
