Téléfrançais

Téléfrançais

"Téléfrançais" was a French language children's television show, produced by TVOntario in 1985 and 1986. The series of 30 episodes has become a popular teaching tool, and is used by many educators to teach French as a second language to elementary school children. The show's name is a portmanteau for "télévision" and "français".

The show follows the adventures of two children named Jacques (Jacques Dell) and Sophie (Colombe Demers), and "Ananas", a talking pineapple. Other recurring characters are Pilote, Ginette, the Annonceur, Monsieur Pourquoi (le Superdetective), Louis Questionneur, Brigitte Banane, and the musical group "Les Squelettes". The programs were produced by Jennifer Harvey and directed by David Moore. The catchy theme and all of Les Squelettes' songs were written by the team of Bruce Ley and Jed MacKay.

Trivia

In Ryan North's "Dinosaur Comics", the "Téléfrançais" theme song is God's ring tone.
