Un Gars et Une Fille
(A Guy and A Girl)

My wife found my favorite French TV show on Youtube. I have to share it. It's just a few minutes long and is the French equivalent of Seinfeld, Friends, The New Adventures of Christine and Sex In the City all mixed together. It's the story of a typical French married couple in their daily life ranging form sollicitors knocking on the door, to life with in-laws, to shopping, eating, and to sex. It offers a thoughtful reflection on married life and culture as well as poked fun at the insane things that we all do and take for granted. Very funny. Totally French. Extremely Parisian. Excellent writing. Authentic. Real. Messy. HILARIOUS!!! We never missed one!

Here's the only episode that I could find with sub-titles in English.



Another great episode you don't have to understand French to get. Just imagine what you do when you rock out all by yourself at home.



Here's a funny episode about their wedding in church. The sermon is long. Too long. You can get it without getting the French. I've been long-winded at our church this past month....but not near as long as this.



Here's a LINK to more episodes on youtube.com.
