Bobino is a French language children's television show made in Quebec. It played from 1957 to 1985. Its stories revolved around Bobino (a kind hobo played by Guy Sanche) and his sister Bobinette (a puppet voiced by Paule Bayard and later by Christine Lamer). Many other characters were mentioned but never appeared although their presence was identified by certain cues, a partial list follows: French (français, langue française) is one of the most important Romance languages, outnumbered in speakers only by Spanish and Portuguese. ... The first European explorer of what is now Quebec was Jacques Cartier, who planted a cross either in the Gaspé in 1534 or at Old Fort Bay on the Lower North Shore and sailed into the St. ... 1957 (MCMLVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... This article is about the year. ...

  • Général Garde-à-vous: nonsensical yelling
  • Tapageur (the sound man): a bicycle horn
  • Camerio (the cameraman): the entire image would go up and down for yes and sideways for no.
  • Télécino (the editor or producer): was invoked to start a cartoon.

Typical plots for the show usually consisted in Bobinette coming up with pranks to play on her brother, often involving costumes and "flour firecrackers", though Bobino would often come up with a costume of his own and get the last laugh.


Short cartoons played between the show’s various segments.


All scores (more than 5,000 of them) were written by Michel Cailloux.

Bobino (1266 words)
Bobino remains a favorite, even as the restaurant scene in the Twin Cities has blossomed in all directions.
Bobino’s kitchen may not compare favorably with some other restaurants in the area, notably Restaurant Alma just down the road, but it more than makes up by its ambiance, service and general sense of bohemian well being.
Bobino’s is twinned (across the patio) with the Starlite lounge, a Euro style bar with eclectic art on the walls and a continuos projection of slides.
