F.C. De Kampioenen

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 The humor hasn't changed a bit over the years and it was already outdated when it first aired in the first place.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.

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

F.C. De Kampioenen is the best Flemish sitcom ever!

It is not for nothing the longest (in years) comedy sitcom in Belgium!

Everyone knows the persons 'DDT', 'Markske', etc...

On the TV1-Day in Boom, F.C. De Kampioenen were the main attraction of the crowd, they got the most attention.

Marc Scheers (Ex Producer F.C. De Kampioenen, he died in May 2004) Quote1: Kampioenen anno 2003... in spite of who it envies... de kampioenen aren't finished yet.

Quote2: And must the question come how long de kampioenen still will continue, you also don't ask if there will be a news broadcast next year.

F.C. De Kampioenen exits already 15 years and still they are not stopping with it. At the end of this year the 16th season will be started.

This still with the very popular cast. Now that Bieke and Marc are married, we expect to have much more hilarious episode's.

FC de kampioenen is a Belgian sitcom about a couple of amateur soccer players who lose a lot because they suck.

FC de Kampioenen is truly a typical Belgian sitcom which really can't be compared with any American sitcoms. American sitcoms are mostly about speedy one-liners and well, humorous content, whereas the usually slow-paced Belgian sitcoms are mostly trying to give you that "you're always welcome"-feeling, using stereotype characters (dominant wives,the smart man, the drunk, the clumsy guy who breaks vases etc.) It does have one thing in common with most American sitcoms: it doesn't age very well, not only because of the poor jokes and story lines, but also because of the pathetic attempts to make the show "younger" by making the 50 year-old characters drink Red Bull and use cell phones and by bringing in a "rebellious" son (he grew to the age of 16 in 12 years), whose dialogues consist entirely of things along the lines of: "I don't want to visit grandma. I'm going to listen to rock music and share a beer with my equally rebellious girlfriend". Stereotypes indeed. I would still buy it if they showed more soccer, but they don't even do that anymore. Probably because the actors played like they had their shoes on backwards even when they were supposed to win.

But despite wretched, repetitive, and predictable, FC de Kampioenen is still a very popular sitcom that is being watched by 1,5 million people every week (even the countless reruns are still a success) and it will probably go on till the writers say it's enough. Like that will ever happen. FC de Kampioenen is a nice childhood memory that is being worn out way too long, but I can't blame them with the success they still have.
