- Pop Citrouille est une série d'émissions de télévision de variétés produite et diffusée par la Société Radio-Canada et destinée aux jeunes préadolescents mais qui a réussi à attirer aussi les adolescents et les adultes grâce à une série de sketchs absurdes. La popularité de cette émission se justifie par l'absurdité des sketchs. Au cours des années 60 et 70, la SRC (Société radio-Canada) avait produit de nombreuses émissions de télévision pour enfants qui avaient connu de grands succès. Or, sur cette même période, le public cible desdites émissions (les jeunes francophones de 6-10 ans) constituaient, en tous cas au Québec, une part phénoménalement importante de la population. Le traitement scénaristique qui résulte de ces intentions est pour le moins inégal. Toutefois, l'absurde peut ouvrir sur l'imaginaire et sur la subversion, et certains concepteurs scénaristiques popcitrouillards, parmi lesquels Jacques Grisé, Robert Gravel et André Cartier, en ont assurément une certaine perception. Quelques exemples : Michèle Deslauriers passant une audition de chant devant des juges et qui interprète le classique de Jean Feggat,"Que seggais-je sans toi" (sic). Ghislain Tremblay, détenu en cellule par le maire-policier-pompier en chef-journaliste de la ville et qui exprime sa révolte par le biais du chant. Le vieillard obsédé à l'idée de se remémorer le nom de son laitier d'autrefois et qui en fait une quête mystique. Le compositeur cherchant une ritournelle-thème pour l'émission Pop Citrouille, et qui doit se résoudre à trouver l'inspiration auprès d'un livreur de pizza. Dans ces exemples, la fuite dans l'absurde est toujours l'unique issue possible face aux contraintes de production et de conformisme, et cette fuite, dans les numéros mentionnés, est soulignée sur le mode de la victoire et du soulagement. Plusieurs des meilleurs numéros de la série ont été publiés sur des DVD de la Société Radio Canada en 2007.
- -A comedy series set in Quebec (Canada) that follows a group of people, all of whom experience their own zany events, and who are all working in a restaurant that is operated by the titular character, Denise.
- The success of a local Saturday morning TV show titled "You Can't Do That On Television"--which only aired in Ottawa on CJOH-TV in early 1979 and had a cast of kids acting in comedy skits and adult actor Les Lye playing the adult roles--prompted creators Roger Price and Geoffrey Darby to air a prime-time TV series shown all across Canada. First a pilot episode aired on Saturday morning, May 12, 1979 with Ruth Buzzi as the female adult roles and Vancouver rock band Trooper as the musical guest. The pilot was successful, so in the fall starting on September 18, 1979 the series aired every Tuesday night at 7:30 on CTV as 16 episodes were purchased. The skits had certain topics like Union Fees, Fan Letters/Summer Camp, Superstitions, and Educational Programming, and like its sister show it was about kids being kids. There were also musical guests like Ian Thomas, Max Webster, Cooper Brothers, and Alma Faye. Because the series appealed to kids 11 and under, it was an odd combination as kids couldn't related to rock bands and didn't know who Ruth Buzzi was. Not only that, a prime-time slot wasn't right for such a series. After the 12th episode in December 1979 the series was canceled, but its sister show You Can't Do That On Television re-aired in early 1981 on Saturday mornings nationwide, using some of the characters fresh off the other series. Whatever Turns You On reruns aired when Canadian station YTV was created in 1988, but it only aired for one season.
