Summer does not always rhyme with idleness and a glass of rosé, but also with good TV programs.
In
A summer in front of the TV
,
20 Minutes
uses its time-turner to tell you the story of the shows or series that marked the small screen during the summer period.
For this first episode, focus on TF1's summer sagas, from
the Harvest Wind
to
Dolmen
via
Zodiac
.
If you think about your past summers, what memories come back to you?
A delicious ice cream eaten in front of a sunset?
The satisfaction of a perfect tan?
At
20 Minutes
, we love lemon sorbets and tanned complexions, but what we love even more is television and all the good times that go with it.
During the summer, there is no doubt that you have turned on your station, whether it is to follow the Tour de France and the Olympics if it is your hobby, or to relax in front of one of the cult programs that the TV offers us every season.
The success of
the Harvest Wind
and company
For this first episode of
A Summer in Front of TV
, let's take a step back in time of thirty years. In 1988, TF1 launched the fashion for summer sagas with
Le vent des moissons
, its series worn by Annie Girardot and Jacques Dufilho. The two actors do not know it yet, but thanks to them, the small screen will offer a soap opera using the same codes every year, while the French are on vacation.
After the success
of The Harvest Wind
, other fictions manage to become just as cult:
The Burned Hearts
,
The Eyes of Helena
,
Indigo Earth
… But that is nothing compared to the impact of
Zodiac
and
Dolmen
, broadcast in 2004 and 2005 by TF1.
