Impressively !

As for family listening, great! is a reference with 14 seasons under its belt. We inform as well as entertain. The team led by Martin Carli manages to answer scientific questions that may seem dry in an entertaining, surprising and sometimes even spectacular way! Stéphane Bellavance is a facilitator and every evening we discover concepts that have escaped us and others and for which we have to prove conclusions. Young people sometimes know more than we do.

This new game, led by Anaïs Favron with the help of DJ Mike Clay, highlights our language. Two multi-generational duos (parent-child) compete in games inspired by the applications on our smartphones. The Clay list focuses on French-language songs, we have fun with autocorrect, we pay attention to “Video Slice”. All means are good for speaking our language.

In each episode, three couples have to determine their child's behavior in the face of an unusual, skillfully provoked situation. The results are always fun. Some see their child in a new light. Pierre Hébert has an exceptional sense of repartee and knows how to be an accomplice with the little ones.

It is important to promote general culture and promote knowledge. Without exerting pressure. In pleasure. In this game, six young people between the ages of 14 and 17 compete with each other to provide correct answers to various topics. They come from a pool of 100 students ready to arrive on Pierre-Yves Lord's lively set. The atmosphere is electric. The level has been increased. It's hard not to be impressed. It can only be inspiring.

Being a teenager

This documentary series allows us to experience something rare and extraordinary, as a team followed around ten young people throughout their school years and provided evidence of their development. We must first highlight the generosity of these young people who have agreed to have their daily lives and state of mind documented, with all that this transition into adolescence entails. These young people are impressive. It's hard to be more authentic. Ideal for starting a conversation.

The fictions
The eye of the storm

To promote shared viewing, there is nothing more effective than fiction in which adults and children share the spotlight, depicting situations that are familiar to us. This is the case in this comedy that stars Christine Beaulieu. Her character Isabelle is a confident independent person who manages events with care. At home she practices guilt-free letting go, which doesn't happen unsupervised with her three children (including very different twins). This season she can finally say that she is no longer single. A household in which there is a clever mix of balance and chaos, but above all benevolence.

First trio

Although aimed at 9- to 12-year-olds, this well-crafted novel also appeals to parents. We follow Chloé, a young ice hockey player who plays on a men's team in the AAA league. If she sows a certain amount of jealousy and creates a lack of solidarity among some pranksters who are reluctant to have a girl among them, she will prove that she has the talent and is in her place. It is a story of perseverance. At the same time, there is school life, friends, first loves, family dynamics and all the challenges that adolescence brings.

This finely produced series from Marianne Farley offers an ultra-realistic tone and aesthetic that young people will appreciate. The topic is addressed with great sensitivity. Zav is 16 years old. He has a passion for music and is talented. But he was never completely comfortable in his boyish body, much to his father's dismay. Although he has long tried to suppress his true desires, music allows him to express his femininity.

Meetings that focus on talent bring joy to families. Attending a moving or spectacular performance at the same time, sharing the same enthusiasm, being enthusiastic about the same paintings, the same artists, that is precious. Dance has the power to overcome emotions through movement and tell stories through gestures. The competitors are nice to watch because they put themselves in danger, are creative and take us into universes. With Revolution you don't have to have all the codes, you just have to be transported.

For the same reasons, La Voix captivates so many people around the world in front of the television. To experience a moment of community with people who are passionate about talented songs, who have dreams and desires and want to be heard. Being blindly selected strengthens our connection. There are no age restrictions for participation. Another quality to bring young and old together in front of the screen.
