It was nostalgic last night on TF1! This Monday, August 28th, the channel indeed aired the first bonus (plural) of A guy, a girl to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the famous comedy pastille.
Two special evenings, which unfortunately took place without Alexandra Lam and Jean Dujardin, the two actresses refusing the production’s proposal to reprise, during several sketches, their roles of Chochuu and Lulou.
Therefore, there are no less than 36 actors, or 18 new couples, who are hard to forget the original boy-girl duo. Animators, actors and even singers have succeeded in bringing to life the most emblematic sketches of the series originally broadcast on France 2.
Therefore, Ines Reg, Stefan Bern, Virginie Ledoyen, Arie Elmale, Joystar, Julie de Bona and others became the iconic Chochu and Lulu for two evenings. These new artists unfortunately failed to convince TF1 viewers, who expressed their displeasure on social media.
“No one can dethrone Jean Dujardin and Alexandra Lam“, “A real disappointment“, “I lost the evening“, “What a shame this birthday isThis is what Internet users wrote on X (the new name of Twitter).
If the vast majority of viewers criticized this new version of boy, girl, some still had a good evening in front of the TV screen.
Submissive audience
If TF1 bet a lot on the return of boy, girl, the first night of the program unfortunately did not have the expected success. The channel was indeed second in the audience on Monday 28 August behind M6 and L’amour est dans le pré.
According to Médiamétrie, only 3.32 million viewers gathered in front of their TV screens to discover new versions of Chouchou and Loulou’s sketches. That’s 15.8% of the population four and older, and 26.9% of women under 50 are responsible for purchases.
Find the second bonus Boy, Girl (plural) on Monday 4 September from 9.10pm on TF1.
