A guy, a girl, and shared viewers. There are those who come from Mars and say they are terribly disappointed by the resumption, on TF1, of the cult show and its sketches, but without the original Chouchou and Loulou, Jean Dujardin and Alexandra Lamy. And there are the others, who come from Venus, and who rather appreciated seeing these “classics” of television humor reinterpreted by new duos: actors and actresses, comedians, TV stars…
But among the opinions collected by 20 minutes among its Internet users, a third category emerges, probably the most numerous, the “àquoibonistes”. Like Sébastien: “I don’t see the point of this kind of programme. TF1 did the trick to us with Les Inconnus and with Muriel Robin, and it sucked each time. Why make people without talent replay sketches that we have already seen a thousand times on TV. “In the same vein, Nathalie “held five minutes before zapping. None, as expected. And finally, let’s quote Simon who preferred to boycott from the start: “This humor has aged badly. The sketches have been looping for twenty years on all channels. It sucks, and the misogynistic clichés, it passes when it’s Dujardin and Lamy but replayed today, it’s unease. »
Nostalgia or discovery
These criticisms explain the low score in audience of the special evening of TF1: 3.32 million viewers until 10:08 p.m. according to Médiamétrie, or 15.8% of the public. And in the second half of the evening, it was even worse. We find these disappointed in our call for contributions. Like Catherine: “Terribly disappointing this recovery! All the actors were disappointing, the lack of naturalness was felt…” Yvette also expected better from this return of A boy a girl “I didn’t like these new interpretations, the spiciness of the situations was not there. It was better before… ”We will put a modest veil on the harshest criticism of the new performers who, for some, concentrated the attacks…
If the fans of the original show all praise the talent of the original performers, there are still some people satisfied with the initiative of TF1 to replay these texts by a group of new actors. Dominique, for example, claims to have felt “no nostalgia. The new couples worked well and I had a lot of fun discovering the original and different screen stars. A good time of entertainment…”
Christine is also thrilled, except for one detail: “Great show! We laugh heartily. But as the show starts too late, when we get up at 5 am to go to work, we don’t watch the whole thing. »
