Un gars, une fille ("A Guy, A Girl") was a French-Canadian television series created by Guy A. Lepage (of Rock et Belles Oreilles fame), spun off from a series of short sketches he'd done for his talk show Besoin d'amour, that ran on Radio-Canada from 1997 to 2003.It tells the story of Guy (Guy A. Lepage) and his longtime girlfriend Sylvie (Sylvie Léonard), a couple in their late 30s (and as the series progressed, early 40s) living together. Most episodes would feature three segments revolving around a specific location or activity (in bed, at the restaurant, having friends over, going on vacation, etc.), sometimes telling a linear story throughout the segment and sometimes having it being random skits revolving around the setup. The show is a comedy, based around the clashing personalities of Guy and Sylvie. Guy tends to be more rational and educated, but is prone to being callous and haughty while Sylvie tends to be more emphatic and social, but can also be naive (if not outright ditsy) and emotional. Adding to the show's humor and drama are that Guy can have a bit of a womanizing side, while Sylvie is extremely possessive and suspicious of any lack of faithfulness from her boyfriend. Alongside this, Sylvie's mother and Guy have a profound dislike for one another, with Guy unable to repress his dislike of Sylvie's mother to her face, while Sylvie's mother actively tries to turn her daughter against Guy. On the flip side, Sylvie equally hates Guy's co-worker Genevieve, constantly suspecting her of trying to seduce Guy. A big stylistic choice is that the camera focuses heavily on Guy and Sylvie, to the point where several key supporting characters' faces aren't seen, sometimes being the camera's point of view.The series was a huge success, spawning more than 30 adaptations for other markets, including an American adaptation, Lovebites and a French adaptation, also titled Un gars, une fille, starring Jean Dujardin and Alexandra Lamy. Some adaptations became quite popular in their own countries, the latter included.In 2023 the show had 4 new episodes, picking up 20 years later. | |

Mathematician's Answer: When Guy asks Sylvie which of two wines she wants for supper. She answers, "Yes." This prompts him to reply "When someone gives you a choice between two things, you can't answer with yes! If you're afraid of committing to a decision, do you want me to pick for you, or do you want me to leave choices up to you?" Her answer? "Yes! Yes Yes Yes!" | |
