Zappeur, in front of the record art.

Zappe! Zappeur is a rare French youth program. It was created by Christophe Izard and broadcast on TF1 from January 11, 1987, to August 30, 1987 on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.





The show

It was presented by Zappeur, a puppet in the shape of a dog. Sitting in an armchair in front of a television, a remote control in hand, he watched cartoons and columns at the same time as the viewers. Zapper zapped every five minutes, which corresponded to the duration of the cartoon or the section shown on the screen. Another puppet, Gripy, in the shape of a sewer rat, regularly disturbed Zappeur.
