The ParĂ© family has been charming audiences in Quebec since they moved into their TVs in 1993. A veritable television phenomenon, La Petite Vie will go down in history for having shattered viewership records and for sweeping the GĂ©maux and the ADISQ awards. But what really sets Claude Meunierâs singular opus apart is how it has made a place for itself in our collective imagination. Our daily lives are now overflowing with references to this showâs charming characters and their wacky comebacks, making La Petite Vie a veritable cult TV show.
The Quirky Family (La Petite Vie)
Producers
Jean Bissonnette, Jean-Claude Lespérance, Claude Maher and Luc Wiseman
