F.C. De Kampioenen (1990–2020)
1/10
Another reason to avoid Flemish television
27 August 2006
FC De Kampioenen's only reason for existence is it's local popularity. It has caused this sitcom to run for over 15 years (and still counting).

It deals about an amateur soccer team with the emphasis "amateur". Every storyline deals with the same subject: some misunderstanding that takes ridiculous (and predictable) proportions, to get resolved in the end.

The show's been running for over 15 years now, and the production probably decided not to change a winning team. Which means that the show has had minor changes over the course of years (besides a couple of actors getting replaced (they nearly all left by themselves rather than being thrown of the show)). The humor hasn't changed a bit over the years and it was already outdated when it first aired in the first place.

I guess you have to be Flemish to get this, and over 60 years old, to enjoy such an old fashioned TV show as this.

In de Gloria (2000–2002)
10/10
Human's are interesting
28 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
'In De Gloria' is a satire that is shaped as a human interest-show that deals with the ordinary man that needs to be protected from himself as soon as a TV-camera is pointing his way.

'IDG' is at his best at it's most sarcastic: The grandfather that's being forced into a bunjee jump, the woman that gets a singing-prohibition in the local church, the middle aged couple that gets forced to answer questions about their last sexual experience ('In mijn poep!), the pretentious reporter that keeps invading people's private space without asking,... The list is endless.

Some details might get lost in translation because of all the Flemmish dialects in it, but don't let this hold you back. This is one of the best TV-shows to come out of Belgium ever.
