I’ll take that as a yes.

19 is Danish and Stephen King was involved in the remake.

I feel a bit ashamed, but I googled. Is #18 Misfits?

Never heard of it… Pan

That is correct. Must be reasonably popular given its 50k votes on IMDb, which is why I initially had it as “well-known” instead of obscure. It airs on Sunday morning here, right after Doctor Who. Caught an episode a few weeks ago (no Match of the Day that weekend), and it’s actually pretty good… Smile

19 must be The Kingdom then.

     

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Correct! Has anyone seen Riget / The Kingdom, btw? Saw the first series. 7 episodes of intriguing but excruciatingly slow build-up, finished by one episode of ABSOLUTE TERROR! Gasp
Von Trier’s comments during the end credits were often hilarious as well…


Anyway:


Here’s the link again.

I’m uploading now! I’ll just follow on TMM’s rules, two guesse per round and so forth. Let’s say, if it should happen I don’t post for a full day, you can do a new round (24 hours from any last post I have in the thread).

I have a feeling most of these are pretty well known (I’m not so well aversed in obscure TV) so it’s possible some have bigger points than they should Tongue But there’s your chance Wink
And… well actually, I’ll leave what I was about to say as a general hint for later.

Here it is! Hopefully it works Tongue

Oh, and sorry about the static at 1.48! The recorder I used did that when the recording went over a minute (unregistered version…). That’s also part of why I kept the themes quite short, even though some of them would have gone on for much longer (and would’ve been great!). Only the last one is full of those that are longer.

And hope the times are correct Grin

Both are correct! That’s 3 points Smile I’ll update the “scoreboard” later.

Any more takers? (Hope this won’t be Ein Fall Für Zwei Wink)

The two obvious ones to me were.

2. Angel

14. The Pretender (Just recently rewatched all 4 seasons - love that show)


I also know No 20, but only two at a time.

Ah, I recognized the Angel theme as well, Lucien.  The Pretender was a terrific series, but I didn’t remember that one because it’s been so long. I was given the DVDs for Christmas but haven’t had a chance to watch them yet.

7. A Touch of Frost
11. Morse (one of the most beautiful theme’s I’ve ver heard. By the same guy that did the music for the first two and fifth Broken Sword games)

Oh man! Someone revived my little game. That’s so awesome!

PS: Great medley! Brings back so many fond childhood memories. Especially 1, 21 and the two I already guessed I loved so much as a child.

Oh wow, people participated! Tongue Now where’s Sage?

Also: all correct!

Here’s the list again:
http://kiwi6.com/file/02yax5xdac

Guesses (or knows) so far:
(00.00) 1. Midsomer Murders (Lady Kestrel, 1pt)
(00.46) 2. Angel (Lucien21, 1pt)
(02.07) 3. (1pt)
(02.40) 4. (3pts)
(03.13) 5. (1pt)
(03.56) 6. (1pt)
(04.28) 7. A Touch of Frost (gray pierce, 2pts)
(05.49) 8. (1pt)
(06.52) 9. 30 Rock (TimovieMan, 1pt)
(07.12) 10. Lovejoy (Lady Kestrel, 2pts)
(08.09) 11. Inspector Morse (gray pierce, 2pts)
(09.13) 12. (2pts)
(10.12) 13. (1pt)
(10.31) 14. The Pretender (Lucien21, 3pts)
(11.01) 15. (1pt)
(11.14) 16. (2pts)
(12.02) 17. (1pt)
(12.53) 18. Smack the Pony (TimovieMan, 2pts)
(13.30) 19. (2pts)
(14.34) 20. (1pt)
(15.22) 21. (1pt)

Standings:
Lucien21 - 4 pts (I can’t believe someone just got The Pretender Tongue I thought it was so obscure… I understand there was another theme that ran longer, but to me that was the “right” theme. Also, it was difficult because there’s a long speak in the intro about Pretenders Grin)
gray pierce - 4 pts (the full A Touch of Frost theme is amazing, but I figured I shouldn’t put too much length on this… In fact, it seems almost all British police shows have just amazing themes!)
TimovieMan - 3 pts
Lady Kestrel - 3 pts (yay Lovejoy! Grin I wish they showed reruns…)

Round two! (but still time for anyone to jump in)

I can also already give small hints, if you want? If anyone says so, I’ll update with stuff along the lines of what TMM started with.
