100 Limit

100 Limit (sometimes written 100 Limit ) was a humorous emission of Télévision Québécois, diffused 1988 with 1992, covering the topicality of the week using Sketch are and false Reportage S, followed by a part Talk show with an invited artist.

History

Beginnings

100 Limit makes its beginnings on the waves of Télévision Four Seasons, the September 5th 1988, in a quasi daily format; three 30 minutes emissions Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays with 22  h  30, like one 60 minutes Friday with 22  h. Animation is ensured by it by Richard Z. Sirois, JiCi Lauzon, Pierre Brassard and Dany Laferrière.

Each emission, after a warning can followed by the credits of opening, opens on a false bulletin: “NATM: The news after everyone”, where are presented different the topos from the day. Then the portion varieties comes, with interviews and services.

Starting from the October 31st, the emission becomes daily, and is moved towards the box-schedule of 17  H, for better joining its young public and raising of the catastrophic dimensions of listening. Thereafter, special one hour is presented to midnight on January 1st 1989.

Blue Powders

The following season, the formula is revised; exit services of invited artists. The emission becomes a 60 minute old weekly magazine, which allows the team of better being able to finick the contents of it, and finds place Friday evening with 19  H, making competition with Rock'n'roll and Belles Ears .

Several people unite with the trio of origin (Dany Laferrière not forming more part of the group), of which Anthony Kavanagh and Chantal Lamarre. Possibly, the team crystallizes around seven members: Pierre “E” Arm-band, Jacques Knight “Longueuil”, Ghislain “Boulevard” Taschereau, Richard Z. Sirois, Yvon Landry (“Jacques Saint-Jacob”), JiCi Lauzon (“Jean-Claude Peinard”), Andre Robitaille (“Michel Boudichon”) and of the sporadic appearances of Roger Moquin (" a grenadedede! "). It is the birth of the Bleu Powders, thus named according to the color of their dress.

Blue Powder hold the bar of the emission during two years, offering two reviews of the year the December 31st 1989 and 1990, with 22  h. Having the free field after the departure of the waves of RBO, the emission an appreciable share of the audience is cut.

The rout

In 1991, following budget cuts, TQS replaces Blue Powders by a new team, vêtue this time of jackets of yellow color. The concept remains identical, but without the characters who marked the first three years. It would seem that TQS had offered to Pierre Brassard to remain in his station of “anchorman” of the false televised bulletin, surrounded by new speakers, but Brassard, by solidarity, refused categorically. The version “Yellow banana” of the emission is badly received as much on behalf of the public as of criticism (“ 100 Limit at the speed of nothing”, signs the chronicler of the Journal of Montreal the shortly after the first), resulting in its death at the end of the season.

In 1993, one year after the end of 100 Limit , the ex- “Yellow banana” Denis Blaquière and Claude Paré take again their respective character of agent Brouillard and Pip with SQreté 5-0, a parody of detective series absurdity whose first episode, the packer of Boston , puts in scene “a maniac at the brain twisted by the Chinese Pâté which attacks women to pack them in paper gift”. The reception is even icier, and the emission lasts only 15 episodes.

Mea Culpa

In 1997, TQS presents 100 Limit - Mea Culpa , four one hour emissions offering a compilation of the best moments of 100 Limit , Bleu version Powders. It is now available under format DVD, with the title " 100 Limite".
