Hello. I'd like to point out that I've got the impression that there are some mistakes in this article. By mistakes I mean language mistakes.

In the second sentence, we find the verb "to start" in "The series is started by Réal Bossé, Martin Drainville and Antoine Vézina.", where we'd expect "starred" instead of "started".

In the third sentence "And co-starter by Sylvie Moreau, Sharlene Royer and Julie Ménard and eventually for others actors.", we find the same mistake, and also the preposition "for" instead of "by", "others" instead of "other", and what I perceive as a French false friend: "eventually". If the text were written in French, I think it would make sense to make use of the adverb "éventuellement", but in English in this context I would rather say something like: "And co-starred by... and sometimes by other actors."

"Silent comedy"

[edit]

The article currently describes the show as a "silent comedy", which seems inaccurate. It is largely nonverbal, in the sense that it avoids actual French or English dialog as much as possible, but various utterances and other sounds are used quite a bit in most of the comedy. It particularly doesn't seem to fit the "silent comedy" genre described in the linked article. ~2026-17568-83 (talk) 00:47, 21 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
