ENTERTAINMENT.
Esprit Canal, are you there?
At 9:05 p.m. on Canal +.
Sometimes the best jokes are the shortest.
A formula that has been applied for years by Canal +, a channel fond of short formats, these humorous pastilles of a few minutes which have allowed the emergence of many artists, from Alex Lutz and Bruno Sanches in "Catherine and Liliane" to Kyan Khojandi in "Brief", through Omar and Fred in "the after-sales service of emissions", or more recently Bertrand Usclat and his tasty "Broute".
In “Replay”, around the tutelary figure of Antoine de Caunes, Canal + reshuffles the cards: what if we entrusted “Catherine and Liliane” to actresses Camille Chamoux and Laurence Arné?
What if it was Kyan Khojandi who hosted "Jamel's Cinema"?
And why not Stéphane de Groodt in “Les Deschiens”?
Short formats change faces ... but no state of mind.
“Serge le mytho” reinvented by Roman Frayssinet is pure pleasure.
Louise Bourgoin, Minister of Culture followed by the cameras of “Broute”, is irresistible.
And the revamped "after-sales service", in which parade Guillaume Gallienne, Bérengère Krief, Fadily Camara, Bruno Sanches or Artus, a real fireworks display.
In short, we really had a good evening.
And it continues, in the wake, with the "making of" of this XXL casting program which also brings together Camille Cottin, Eric Judor, Dora Tillier ...
In the end, “Replay” will also have the merit of reminding us of what the Canal spirit looks like.
A concept abused in recent years with the disappearance of historical broadcasts, controversies and ousting troublemakers daring jokes about Vincent Bolloré's group.
EDITOR'S RATING: 4/5

THEATER.
Neighbors for the best and the worst
At 8:55 p.m., on France 5.
On the top floor of a Parisian building live three fanatics, each in their adjoining maid's room: a tall, bearded and cracra stalker, a more corpulent, maniacal and high-tech one, and a pretty blonde in his "girly" and pretty interior.
One woman, two men, a multitude of possibilities of agreements and disagreements, catastrophes and disasters in cascade.
These three are neighbors for better or for worse, miss everything, chaining the blunders in a great burlesque happiness, without words but so speaking.
Impressive in their precision in their reading of a funny and sensitive visual writing, the actors skillfully rely on a setting full of pranks and surprises.
Pif, paf, badaboum… on stage it farts, it slams, it shatters.
A thousand and one blunders that we laugh at to break the jaw.
Hip, hip, hip hurray for “Bigre”!

ANIMATION.
Mune objective
A captivating animated film for the whole family.
2015 ONYX FILMS / ORANGE STUDIO / KINOLOGY
At 9 p.m., on Gulli.
In an imaginary world, Mune, a perky and optimistic young faun, finds himself in charge of watching over the moon.
But when he lets it escape, day and night are out of order.
Helped by Sohone, the Guardian of the Sun, Mune sets out in search of the star and discovers that the Guardian of Darkness seeks to seize power by destroying the Moon and the Sun ...
This is a captivating animated film for the whole family.
Splendid metaphor on the struggle between good and evil, "Mune, the Guardian of the Moon" constantly balances us between laughter and emotion.
Above all, the film asserts itself by its successful mix between two traditions of animation, with very effective American action scenes and poetry à la Paul Grimault ("The King and the Bird").
With its sumptuous graphics, its spectacular sequences and its messages skilfully distilled over an intelligent and daring scenario, this is a pretty nugget of French animation.
EDITOR'S RATING: 4/5

HUMOR.
Coluche, Devos, Bedos and the others
At 9:05 pm, on France 3.
1959. Fernand Raynaud, alone on the stage of the Théâtre des Variétés, has been on the bill for over a year… Extract from the music hall and cabarets, humor is sufficient in itself .
The one-man-show was born and will only develop.
Sixty years retraced by this copious documentary by Christophe David.
Through large extracts and interviews, he intends to leaf through the album of the profession in the company of twenty comedians who have come to confide on the sofa.
So there are the pioneers, tasty.
Raynaud, but also the poet Raymond Devos or Robert Lamoureux.
The first women, too, Anne-Marie Carrière and her texts in Alexandrines, Sylvie Joly.
The provocateurs, again - Coluche, Le Luron or Bedos - who come into direct contact with power.
The next generation becomes known in a few clicks, rubs - and sometimes gets burned - on stage, with, for all, the same reward for success, the laughter of the public.
"A hard drug", breathes Chantal Ladesou.
Classically speaking, this film takes its time to try to encompass the French history of the genre.
And do not demerit.

COMEDY.
All beautiful, all organic
We are won over by Virginie Efira's very natural game.
Pulsar productions / David Koskas
At 9:05 pm, on Chérie 25.
Louise, a young and pretty widow, fights to keep her organic farm afloat in Drôme Provençale, while raising her two children on her own.
One evening, in the car, she runs over Pierre, a young man with unusual behavior.
A sort of Rain Man capable of counting as fast as a computer, obsessed with storage, to which she will end up becoming attached, and vice versa.
The capacity for wonder of this being different from others - he is autistic - will turn his life upside down… This pretty film in the form of a modern tale on the virtues of difference smells of lavender, organic jam and authentic local products.
He also exhales a cloud of good feelings.
Too much, no doubt.
The country of Pagnol is not that of Care Bears.
But we were won over by the delicate performance of Benjamin Lavernhe, resident at the Comédie-Française, and by the very natural play of Virginie Efira.
