fc De kampioenen

the very best TV-program in years!!! always a blink to the smile of the people who watch these series - may be added to "all times favorites" - a sort of 'evergreen 'to me - always enjoy when we watch them playing - my favorites in this series are, of course mark vertongen, Xavier waterslaeghers , and not to forget!!!! Carmen !! sometimes so wright in real live to, many people don't admitted it but she reflex sometimes many wife's who plays the boss - we are fans from the first time and have taped them all on cassette, we feel this program is a real friendly family-show, our children are very amused by the funny stories and so called mistakes,never seen another almost 'perfect' sitcom , keep up the very good work

Trivia
"Het Kampioenenlied", the show's first theme song, has a short version used in-series only and has a full length version of three minutes long with the characters singing as well. The song clearly samples the Libyan national anthem "Libya, Libya, Libya" and bears similarities with the 1990 song "Mondiale", released by Italo-Belgian singer-songwriter Rocco Granata on the occasion of the FIFA World Cup in Italy. The full length version was released as LP through Dutch label Philips Records.

Goofs
Dimitri is 58 years old in DDT ontsnapt (2010) whereas he was 40 years old in Blauwhelmen (1995). The time gap, however, is 15 years, so in 2010 he must be 55 years old or 43 years old in 1995 for 2010 to have his age correct.

Quotes
Dimitri De Tremmerie: Zal 't gaan, ja!
[repeated line, Dimitri's comment on eg. De Kampioenen kicking a soccer ball through one of his dealership's windows; along the lines of saying *Mind your language*, *Watch your tongue*, *Take it easy, a'ight?* and shouting *Are you out of your mind!*, the line is actually a combo of these situations, so depending on the context in which the line is uttered]

Crazy credits
"THE ORIGINALS" message appears in a framework at the start of each intro with theme song from De nieuwe truitjes (1990) to Love Story (1993), to honor the titles with Carry Goossens in the lead and Walter Michiels co-starring.

Connections
Edited into Morgen maandag (1993)
