Les Filles d'à côté note The Girls Next Door was a sitcom that screened on French television till January 1995. In its original format with its first cast it ran for a total of 170 episodes. The format was revived later in 1995 with a largely new cast under the title of Les Nouvelles Filles d'à Côté, and ran for a further 156 episodes. Re-runs still appear to be popular today on French TV channels.The show followed a tried and trusted TV sitcom formula, following the lives of two groups of unattached thirtysomethings who rent neighbouring apartments in a communal shared block. Daniel and Marc are already flat-sharing; they get as neighbours three old friends, all divorcées or separated from partners, who have decided to pool their resources and share a place together. The three "girls" (all look to be in or approaching their thirties) duly move in next door. They introduce themselves as Fanny, Magalie and Claire. Hilarity Ensues. Marc is immediately smitten and can't decide which of the three girls he wants to pursue (he finally settles on Magalie, who wants nothing to do with him). Meanwhile the girls (ignoring or avoiding Marc) are all taken with the debonair and sophisticated American photographer Daniel. Who politely turns down their interest as he has a girlfriend elsewhere. And downstairs in the basement is a gym and health club for which all residents are automatically members. A key person here is Gérard, who practically runs the place. A likeable Camp Gay, he becomes a sort of best friend and confidant to the girls. Secondary characters include Vincent (brattish teenage son of Claire) and Wendy (precocious six-year-old daughter of Fanny). And upstairs there is Georgette, who is in love with Marc. | |

Fat Slob: Charly, who for instance, when answering the door to Daniel's fastidious lady boss, is in his underwear and halfway through shaving. He apologises to her and wipes the shaving cream off his face - using a suit jacket which is hanging in the door. | |

Long-Runner Cast Turnover | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_240fd641 | comment |
Long-Runner Cast Turnover: This show only lasted three years in both its formats. But an insane production schedule meant this sitcom (which verged on a comic Soap Opera) meant 336 episodes were created. It kept its full original cast for the first 130 episodes. But Cécile Auclert (Fanny) dropped out first, exhausted by the workload, and was followed very quickly by Hélène le Moignic (Magalie) for broadly the same reason. Later in the series, Thierry Redler (Marc) dropped out of the show. With half the original core cast gone, the producers experimented with new Girls Next Door and a new flatmate for Daniel, but eventually conceded the best thing to do was to reboot it entirely with a pretty much brand new cast as Les Nouvelles Filles D'à Coté. In the second run, only Claire (Christianne Jean) and Gérard (Gérard Vives) remained from the original cast. note Thierry Redler eventually returned to reprise the fan favourite Marc. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: during a period where he believes Magalie has hooked up with somebody else, Marc retreats into himself and becomes subdued and preoccupied with her; a Running Gag here involves the sheer number of women, usually the attractive LivingProps normally in the background in the gym, who express their interest in him - which he simply does not notice, so hung up is he on Magalie... his friend Daniel despairs. | |

Les Filles d'à côté / int_2960ad68 | comment |
Microwave Misuse: After the girls get over their initial reactions concerning a brand new cooking device never before seen in a French kitchen, they plug in Fanny's new microwave and tentatively try it out with something that they think will not do any harm if it goes wrong. Claire suggests testing how quickly it can boil water. At this point her son Vincent cautions her against using a metal saucepan full of water inside a microwave oven. She shoos him out of the kitchen and puts the metal pan into the microwave anyway... | |

Les Filles d'à côté / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: In her final appearance on the show, housemate Magalie receives an unexpected bequest from a relative: Red Indian regalia. Apparently she is part-Apache and these belonged to an ancestor. She considers the abominable Marc whilst weighing the tomahawk thoughtfully. Just for a moment you wonder if Magalie is contemplating a crime passionelle with the axe. French courts tend to treat these things with sympathy, and her Abhorrent Admirer has been pursuing her for a year. And now she has an axe in her hand... | |

Fat Comic Relief | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_2ef89a18 | comment |
Fat Comic Relief: Georgette, middle-aged, obese, and resident Abhorrent Admirer to Marc, whose role is to be the Butt-Monkey for all the stereotypes associated with fat women: a deliberate foil to all the stylish and attractive characters around her. She is so fat the lift cannot cope with her weight, for instance, and this causes Elevator Failure. A Spear Counterpart called Charly is introduced from episode 150 onwards, a stereotypically fat, balding, jolly, middle-aged man: he remains an occassional character, however. Evidence exists that this is not accidental or merely playing to a trope for comic effect: a critical analysis quoting Dan Simkovich (Georgette) and Charly Chemouney (Charly) describes the "culture of thin-ness" in AB Productions, and describes the agressive way in which fat people were portrayed in AB's output as perverse, disgusting, diseased and something to be shunned, to be treated as a sort of social leper. | |

Elevator Failure | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_31033037 | comment |
Elevator Failure: Magalie would love to be stuck in the lift with her neighbour Daniel for an indefinite period before they are discovered and rescued. This is something of a fantasy for her. Unfortunately what has caused the lift to jam is the third person in there, the vastly obese Madame Georgette Bellefeuille. She is simply too fat for the lift. And makes it too small for three people to wait patiently. | |

Standardized Sitcom Housing | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_4413d368 | comment |
Standardized Sitcom Housing: The apartments inhabited by the "girls next door" and their male neighbours are a French version of standardized sitcom housing: stylish and visually attractive split-level spacious apartments reflecting a stylised version of French chic and impeccable interior design, or at least what was fashionable for the 1990's but looks vaguely out of date now. Of course, Everything Looks Sexier In France... | |

Butt-Monkey: Marc, whose immature and strident personality combined with Casanova Wannabe leads to frequent humiliation. Two Butt Monkeys collide when he interacts with Georgette, who is also Ground Zero for all the standard fat jokes. Georgette's pursuit of Marc is played heavily for laughs. | |

Les Filles d'à côté / int_4f62bde6 | comment |
Kavorka Man: Marc. His attempts to get off with one of the girls - beginning with Magalie, but he considers the other two to be acceptable back-up targets - drives a lot of the humour, especially when he fails miserably or gets put down. Incredibly, by the end of the show's run he has suceeded with both Magalie and Claire, although neither relationship lasts very long. Magalie, apparently, realises what a blunder she has made and apparently flees to Peru to get away from him. | |

Les Filles d'à côté / int_5f168ae3 | comment |
I Kiss Your Foot: Fan sites refer simply to Episode Twenty-Two, a strangely large proportion of which is taken up with the three girls sitting on the sofa and arguing, at length, as to which of the three has the sexiest feet. As always the camera angle is low, and the focus of attention is on their bare feet. For quite some time. Daniel and Marc are called in to arbitrate. Suggestions have been made that this focus on the female foot is a dictate on the part of the producer, and is not un-known in other AB productions. | |

Everyone Looks Sexier if French: The only regular character who is not a walking exemplar of The '90s French chic, style and attractiveness is Georgette. note towards the end of the first series run, a Spear Counterpart called Charly is introduced: an equally stereotypical fat jolly man.

Les Filles d'à côté / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Fanny's second child, eight-month-old baby David, who appears in exactly three out of 170 shows. He is occasionally referred to as an off-screen presence note the implication is that this happens when the scriptwriters belatedly remember Fanny has a baby son, as this is not consistently done and when it happens, it feels like an afterthought.. Otherwise, something the viewer might expect to be fairly near the centre of Fanny's life and a constant presence... isn't. | |

Les Filles d'à côté / int_880ce607 | comment |
Vanity Is Feminine: Gerard is distraught about a pimple that has erupted on his right cheek and considers this blemish has ruined his looks. After trying to conceal it from gym customers, he rummages in the first aid box and puts a very big stickling plaster over it, announcing "this will fix it!". Which of course only draws attention to what people might otherwise have not even noticed. A lot of concerned people either blink in astonishment or anxiously ask what happened. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Shamelessly played. Right from the opening credits where the girls smile and wave at the camera while in bathing costumes. The gym setting allows many further opportunities for the girls to wear skimpy workout clothing; and none of the troop of extras in the background are less than averagely good-looking either. One episode has the girls in lingerie. In the reboot show Les Nouvelles Filles d'à Côté, full-body massages are introduced in the Health Club and sure enough, there is at least one brief moment of toplessness involving one of the second-generation Girls Next Door. | |

Social Semi-Circle | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_c5606510 | comment |
Social Semi-Circle: The sofa is the indispensible prop in the girls' apartment. The three girls and others are often seen interacting or having in-depth conversation while sitting on the sofa, with the camera angle directly in front and shot from a suspiciously low angle. Of course, this is also an aspect of Ms. Fanservice, as The '90s fashions tended towards short skirts and bare legs. The occasional Panty Shot was not edited out of the final show. One wonders why this was not spotted in editing. Discussions in the boys' apartment tended to be around the dining table and shot from a higher angle - but also stuck to this principle. | |

Last-Minute Hookup | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_c9c317cd | comment |
Last-Minute Hookup: at the end of the show's first incarnation, before the reboot with a pretty much brand new cast, it is strongly hinted Marc gets off with Claire and they depart as a couple, possibly to Brussels. Apparently Claire was worn down and couldn't be bothered to say "non!" any more. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Georgette Bellefeuille, with her obsessions with strange animal welfare charities, such as a league for the protection of baby pigeons, and her eccentric Good Works. Also Marc, with his unrealistic desire to make his money as a writer and novellist - his novel hardly gets past the first chapter. He is frequently called out on this, even by the long-suffering Daniel. | |

Canada, Eh? | |
Les Filles d'à côté / int_d429d0f6 | comment |
Canada Eh: Cécile Auclert (Fanny) is a French-Canadian born in Montreal. Apparently her Quebecois accent isn't all that noticeable in-show and In-Universe she is French. | |

Jerkass: Marc. Even Daniel acknowledges his friend has socially undesirable qualities. There is his freeloading, and the fact that while he is pursuing Magalie, he isn't above chasing Fanny and Claire as well. During an electricity blackout, he "accidentally" grabs Fanny in the dark, for instance. | |

Put on a Bus to Hell: The vindictive way Magalie was written out of the show after her actress walked out on the series. To explain her dissappearance she is portrayed as a sneak thief with personality issues who robs the gym and goes on the run. | |

Girlfriend in Canada: Daniel's explanation about his American model girlfriend, who is never seen. Suspicion is raised by her being called Cindy. It is suggested that as Daniel is a model photographer, this could be a Line-of-Sight Name. | |
