Lance et Compte is a series of Quebec téléromans revolving around a Quebec City ice hockey team. The series aired from 1986 to 1989 on the Radio-Canada network, and revival series on TQS in 2001 and on TVA from 2004 to the present.
The first season was filmed in both French and English, the English version appearing on CBC Television as He Shoots, He Scores. It was the first television series to air simultaneously in English on CBC and in French on Radio-Canada.
The series was scripted by Réjean Tremblay and Louis Caron for the first season, and by Tremblay and Jacques Jacob after that. Following the end of the regular series, a number of television movies continued to air into the 1990s. A new generation of the series started to air in 2001 and a movie was made in 2010.
450 Chemin du Golf is a Quebec French language sitcom currently airing on TQS. The show revolves around how a suburban neighbourhood is turned upside-down when someone new moves into the area. The series stars François Massicotte, a well-known Québécois comedian. The title of the show refers to the 450 area code that is used for most of the suburbs off the island of Montreal. It has been met with negative reviews.
In 2003, the show was denied funding from the Canadian Television Fund.
Loft Story was a Quebec television series broadcast on the TQS television network, and was an adaptation of the show Loft Story in France, which itself was an adaptation of the Big Brother franchise. TQS became V and replaced Loft Story with a new Big Brother series for Quebec in 2010.
During the first season, the show had TVA's Occupation Double as its main competitor, and was a success in terms of viewership, but was not as financially successful as the French version. Therefore, the program was discontinued the following season, but was resurrected three years later in January 2006. In response to criticism of year 1, year 2 toned down the sexual content and replaced it with daily games and truth/dare events. The loft was also changed to include a "stunt room" the size of a basketball court, which serves for games and entertainment. A third season started in September 2006, a fourth on September 26, 2007, a fifth in Fall 2008 and an All-Star season subtitled La Revanche in Spring 2009.
3 x rien shows the lives of Alex, Louis and Jean-François who, as they enter their thirties, do everything they can to step up and be counted…and sometimes fall flat on their faces in the attempt. A well-dosed mixture of reality and fiction in which these three comedians known as Les Mecs comiques describe the little inconsequential events of everyday life with biting wit. A living comedy of life that is funny and surprising and that describes the everyday existence of young adults through their real concerns, whether futile or existential!
Bob Gratton : Ma Vie, My Life was a Québécois sitcom television series that aired on V from 2007 to 2009, revolving around the daily activities of a "larger-than-life character", Bob Gratton.
Bleu Nuit is a television series broadcast late at night on the V television network in Quebec. The content of the series is softcore adult films, mostly European. The series was popular with both francophones and anglophones living in Quebec, the greater Ottawa-Gatineau region and in Northern Ontario communities that receive the network. Bleu Nuit was considered a part of Quebec culture.
La Fin du monde est à 7 heures was a Quebec television comedy series, which aired on TQS from 1997 to 2000. As the title says, the show was traditionally broadcast daily at 7 PM, but was later moved to the 6 PM slot, at the same time as most other networks' news bulletins, with no name change.
Hosted by Marc Labrèche, the program was a satirical take on news and current affairs, somewhat similar in style to the English Canadian series This Hour Has 22 Minutes. In addition to Labrèche, other personalities associated with the show include Jean-René Dufort, Patrick Masbourian, Isabelle Maréchal, Paul Houde and Bruno Blanchet.
Jean-René Dufort now hosts a show on Radio-Canada called Infoman.
