Season 1
Episode Number | Title | Original airdate | Production code |
---|---|---|---|
01 | "Alea jacta... et tout le reste" | February 14, 2008 | 1-01 |
News producer Bernard Vaillancourt, unemployed and newly divorced from his wife, arrives in Sudbury to begin a new job overseeing what he thinks is a regional television news channel — only to learn upon arriving that it's actually a weather channel. Intending to resign, he ultimately agrees to accept the job when owner Ted Guérin and politician Conny Fillion convince him to give the fledgling network a chance. | |||
02 | "Et pourtant on tourne" | February 21, 2008 | 1-02 |
The team frantically tries to iron out and improvise around the various hurdles and complications that are standing in the way of a successful launch. Still awaiting authorization to broadcast the satellite images that are de rigueur for a weather channel, Bernard sends Mario out to point a camera at the sky, and tells Gratien to improvise until he has actual weather reports to announce. Mario simultaneously films the network's launch for a documentary. | |||
03 | "Vox pop" | February 28, 2008 | 1-03 |
The network still hasn't received its authorization to broadcast satellite weather images, and Gratien's new coanchor from Cochrane still hasn't arrived. While Ted and Conny call CRTC bureaucrats in Ottawa to get the technical clearances, news arrives that the missing coanchor has died. Trying to fill the network's airtime with emergency guests, Bernard tries to track down "Le Gros Cinq Cennes" and "La Slague", which he assumes are local heavy metal bands. Gratien's increasing fatigue forces BM to send Mario out to conduct person-in-the-street interviews about the weather — each of which ends up trying the team's patience even further. | |||
04 | "Quo vadis BM?" | March 6, 2008 | 1-04 |
BM is offered a job with Télé-Canada, and the team tries to convince her to stay with Météo+. Conny, in fact, pulls strings behind BM's back to get the job offer rescinded. The network schedules auditions for a new co-anchor to relieve the pressure on Gratien — as BM was supposed to conduct the interviews, they are initially derailed by her impending departure, as well as by the seeming insanity of the applicants. However, a late arrival, Billie Jean, convinces Mario to interview her, and is hired. | |||
05 | "L'habit ne fait pas le Gratien" | March 13, 2008 | 1-05 |
Bernard tries to convince BM to sign an actual contract with the network, while Ted tries to convince somebody — anybody, even the most junior file clerk, as long as he doesn't have to do it himself — to break the news to BM that he's not taking her to the annual Northern Ontario media gala in North Bay, but is taking Bernard instead. Gratien tries to train Billie Jean to tone down her perkiness and act more professional and sedate on the air, which thoroughly depresses Billie Jean. | |||
06 | "Devine la comédie" | March 20, 2008 | 1-06 |
Aware of emerging morale problems at the station, Ted brings in a management consultant (Frank Chiesurin) to conduct a team-building seminar which involves having everybody symbolically deposit their personal frustrations in a suitcase. Bernard can't cope and instead sneaks out into the back alleyway to have his own alcohol-fueled therapy session with Spare Change. | |||
07 | "Le serment d'Hypocrite" | March 27, 2008 | 1-07 |
Embarrassed by his drunken behaviour at the team-building seminar, Bernard privately asks BM to put him in touch with a counsellor — but the entire office soon knows. Eventually the station's entire audience knows as well, after Gratien announces on the air that Bernard is in therapy in a misguided attempt to imitate Billie Jean's more gregarious presenting style. For his own part, Bernard gets his photo of Lara blown up to wall size after misunderstanding the therapist's advice to "get the big picture". | |||
08 | "De la télé poubelle (1ère partie)" | April 3, 2008 | 1-08 |
Gratien regrets publicizing Bernard's personal business on the air and decides to resign from the network, as the team tries to encourage him to change his mind. Meanwhile, Gisèle — already on edge due to a family rift that's led her mother to tell her that she can't attend her godson's high school graduation — is slowly being driven crazy by all the phonecalls she's getting inquiring about Bernard's health — and things only get worse when Billie Jean tries to cheer Gratien up with an on-air pep talk of her own. But when Gratien, having been convinced to stay, asks viewers to phone in their ideas for an apology gift he can buy Bernard, Gisèle finally blows her stack and charges into the studio to give the audience a piece of her mind. | |||
09 | "De la télé poubelle (2ième partie)" | April 10, 2008 | 1-09 |
Gisèle's on-air rant is turning into a call-in show, with viewers calling in just for the sake of getting on TV. The team is at a loss as to how to get her off the air. Asked to put footage of Bernard on the air so that viewers can get a sense of who he is, BM struggles with her conscience when all she can find is a tape Mario took of Bernard talking to himself in the bathroom mirror. Eventually Gisèle's mother and aunt both show up in the studio as well, and Bernard tries to mediate their feud — which was all over a family recipe — on the air. | |||
10 | "Lara-tu cru?" | April 17, 2008 | 1–10 |
Ted and Conny attempt to boost the team's morale by purchasing a mobile unit so that the station can air remote broadcasts — but this has the opposite effect, as Gratien and Billie Jean compete with each other to be Bernard's choice to go out on remotes. Gratien eventually tries to steal the truck, but he can't drive standard. Lara keeps calling the office, and the team tries to keep the knowledge away from Bernard so that he doesn't get depressed again. However, Lara is calling to tell Bernard that her father has died. Bernard leaves for Sherbrooke to attend the funeral — but will he come back? |
