  Television of Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quebec television is an important part of the culture of the province of Quebec in Canada.
Quebec television and its evening soap operas that did and still do so much to define the province as a distinct francophone entity originated on the Société Radio-Canada (CBC) network funded by the Government of Canada.
The existence of Quebec consumer culture and a consumer society distinct from other similar societies in North America and Europe is a corollary of this common core of TV watching.

 Quebec French - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Although Quebec French is sometimes thought of as an almost exclusively non-standard variant, and certain aspects of it are sociolinguistically stigmatized, most aspects of Quebec French that distinguish it from the French of France are found throughout the different registers of speech and writing, including standard and formal usage.
Quebec French is substantially different in pronunciation and vocabulary from the other varieties of French spoken throughout the world, just as the Portuguese, Spanish, and English languages of the Americas differ from the corresponding European dialects.
Quebec French was once stigmatized, among Quebecers themselves as well as among Continental French and foreigners, as a low-class dialect, sometimes due to its use of anglicisms, sometimes simply due to its differences from "standard" European French.

 Television Drama, French-Language
The first televised serials were usually adapted from novels or radio serials, their success being guaranteed by previous popular acclaim and their quality by the calibre of their authors.
While situation comedies and televised novels were marked by stage conventions, the historical and biographical miniseries together with serialised short stories received filmic treatments which subordinated dialogue to setting and heightened the spatial and temporal aspects of action.
In his televised novel "Les Girouettes" (1980-83), Jean Daigle presents a rural environment on the Richelieu River where a handicapped widow encounters a daughter who tries to establish order in a family threatened by a father's impetuosity and the demands of her 4 brothers: the plot is thin, if it does have interesting twists.

 Television Programming
Television must provide information and entertainment suited to the tastes and needs of a very large public.
This cultural fact dictates that television programming will come in many different forms: newscasts and news magazines or documentaries, talk shows, sports broadcasts, games and quizzes, variety shows, and children's programs, as well as a range of dramatic entertainment.
Statistics show that even the viewers of French-language television watch a lot of dubbed Hollywood drama (up to 80% of all drama viewed in 1984 was foreign produced), which has raised fears that Québec will fall victim to the same ills that afflict English Canada.

 Quebec French profanity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
However, in Quebec it is the proper word for the form of profanity used in Quebec French/.
Quebec French uses a number of the same types of foul language as in standard French, dealing with sex and excrement (such as ''merde'', "shit" - in Quebec French sometimes pronounced ''marde'', quite like the Scots say "shite").
French-speaking visitors to Quebec should note that although these usages may seem comical to those who are used to other kinds of profanity, they are strong curse words and should only be used in a very familiar atmosphere or when one actually means to offend.
