Divertis had several tv shows over the years. The first one was on PRO tv from 1999 to 2001. The second one was on Antena 1 and had various names:

  • Divertis Show
  • Divertis Mall
  • Divertis Mall și Prietenii (Divertis Mall and Friends).

From 2001 to 20, they made 2 show Divertis - Land of Jokes (which was parodying the Romania tourism slogan at the time) (2009-2011) and Divertis - Serviciul Român de Comedie (Divertis - the Romanian Comedy Service (a pun on SRI)) (2009-2014). Later the Divertis members who did Land of Jokes moved to TVR 1 under the name distractis while the members who did SRC remained 3 more years on PRO Tv. Divertis moved from PRO tv to Antena 1 in 2015 were they would have a short lived show called SRC-Fun Factory. Finally, Divertis moved one last time to Digi 24 were they made a new show called Superjurnal which is a satirical show that deals with news (internal and external), Fashion, Lack of Culture in Romania, and Sports as well as politicians and celebrities.
