Love that gif James. Sorry mate, but I need the money assuming this result even earned me any. GG and thanks for simming as always Z.
WOW! Big season Evilo with two titles! Congrats mate. Your dedication has paid off. Enjoy!
I’ll go with Foyle’s War next. I quite like the series and I’m a big fan of the theme, especially at the beginning.
I have a lot of memories about True Detective. I remember the trailer before season one came out. I remember traveling with my father to Portland. OR and watching the episode that premiered that week while we were on vacation. I’ve see the show a few times now as well and as it’s been at least 12 months since I’ve last seen it I’m do for another viewing.
For this one is one of those “cheats” to some degree as it’s a song that I asssume was already out and the show just used it. And when I think about it lyrically, it doesn’t seem to fit as it sounds like it’s setting is out West somewhere. Still for me it works. And as I noted with other themes I mentioned, this is another one where the video adds to it (at least for me if you’ve seen the show).
Great track! Great television sequence.
I’ll assume you’ve seen it, but if you haven’t I definitely recommend it. I think it’s 8 episodes and done. Series 2 I liked as well (more than most) and Series 3 is also good. Series 4 didn’t do it for me though, but I may need to revisit it.
Another one!
Nice. Love the visual art and not a bad track. I have to watch this. Completely forgot about it even though the company I work for did a collab with the show.
Ripper Street isn’t the best show ever, but it’s still pretty good. Plenty of talented actors and if you like the Jack the Ripper era you might well like it.
This one is very reminiscent of the opening theme to the Guy Ritchie film Sherlock Holmes which is another theme I really like. I like this one comes to a quick end and it’s definitely one of those themes I don’t hit “skip intro” on.

Since I’ve been going back by decade I guess I’ll go back one more to the 70s. This is one that will probably be unexpected. The Rockford Files came out the month I was born and while it lasted 6 seasons I never saw it. It was on Netflix a few years ago and I started it, but got only a few episodes in before it was pulled. Not as hard to watch as Miami Vice (which I’d love to watch again), but I’ll still have to pay for the privilege. Anyway, it wasn’t half bad and I learned a bit more about James Garner (the actor, not the midfielder).
As for the theme, definitely a 70s sound if you ask me which I like. It seems to capture even the humorous elements of the show and I love the phone call/answering machine bit it would have at the beginning.
I remember watching Miami Vice as a kid. I liked the show, but initially I thought “is this place in the United States?” A big part of that thought came from the show’s opening. And let me be clear, some of these TV themes are down to their visual as much as the audio. Still, a big part of the show was music and it started with the show’s opening theme. This one is pretty basic with seemingly just a guitar and the percussion, but it sounds like more. I also like that abrupt ending.
Extra time, I’d like to watch the series front to back again, but it’s streaming nowhere. It was on Netflix some years ago and I should have prioritized it then, but for now I’ve missed my chance. Also, this is Michael Mann. He’s not my favorite writer/director/content creator, but I like a lot of Mann’s work. Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice, The Last of the Mohicans, etc. His work was very stylized, especially the crime dramas, and Miami Vice was no exception.
That last one from James reminded me of something I’ve been thinking about for this thread but keep forgetting. It’s a week-long theme of posting theme music from television series. Might be a show you love, or you just love the theme.
I’ll go with Twin Peaks first. I was in High School when the show came out. The first season was quite intriguing to me for many reasons. The setting, the music, some of the characters (especially the girls)…. It was my first introduction to David Lynch. The show was the most popular show in the country as well, though they didn’t reveal Laura Palmer’s killer until well into the second season which killed their ratings and ultimately the show. Still the show evntually came back about 25 years later.
The show’s theme was by Angelo Badalamenti who worked with U2 and a few others around the time. For me it’s a great atmospheric track and really became a part of the show. I love the introduction as well as I was always a bit enthralled with the Pacific Northwest.
A few things:
—This season will have been essentially two seasons/two years in length.
—Today’s date is January 20th, 2006 and all 03s are literally 22 years old now.
—We all lose something/gain something from either scenario.FM25 didn’t happen and we only have FM to blame. Looking at the FM26 player ratings and knowing what I personally missed out on with no FM25 pisses me off. On top of that, I probably stand to gain more by not promoting 03s. That said, I think it only makes sense. If it’s not done now it’ll have to be done eventually.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who had planned to go into the “next” season with 2003 players still being eligible for U21 and not having to make so many changes.
even though there was no fm25, we did promote the players born in 2001. so there’s no reason to promote 2002 and 2003 for the next season.
It’s obviously Zizou’s decision, but I would imagine if 03s are promoted we’d get compensation from the league’s coffers 😉 for each player, say 500k each. I would just take this opportunity to add/note that if it pleases the powers that be we would get compensation based on the following:
—500k for all 03s promoted regardless of reason
-additionally, 500k for all players who are 04s or younger (05s, 06s, etc) who will be forced to be promoted due to their CAs being too highWhy that second point? In most cases GMs with those players missed out on a whole season of having them at U21 level. Only way they didn’t was if FM25 would have upped their CAs, which of course we’ll never know, but I think it’s probably pretty safe to say few would have seen such an upgrade based on their respective FM26 CAs such that we’d have been forced to promote them.
At the end of the day it’ll be one or the other with regards to 03s. Either way I trust Zizou’s judgement and I’m just happy we have FM26.
GG mate and congrats on your win!
Congrats Evilo! Too bad he doesn’t care. 😉 Seriously though, congrats mate, I know you’ve been working for this!
TF is up with that peace prize bullshit?
GG mate and thanks yet again Z.
GG mate and thanks again for the sim Z.
