Jean-Luc Azoulay is a French television producer. He was born in Algeria to a Sephardic Jewish family. In 1987, with the Club Doroth�e, he developed a new concept for a youth TV show which had great success beginning in the 1980s until 1997, on TF1, one of the most important French TV channels. In 1997 TF1 somewhat mysteriously cancelled all its contracts with Azoulay production company' "AB", even though AB content was, by far, the most popular on French TV at the time. In the 1990s he created an astonishing number of extreemly successful so-called "sitcoms", including Salut les Muscles", "Premiers Baisers", "H�l�ne et les Garcons", "Le Miel et les Abelles", "Le Philo selon Philippe", "Les Filles d'a cote". In addition to these he created many others which had lesser success, such as "Le College des Coeurs Brises", "Un homme a Domicile", "Talk Show", L'un Contre L'autre", "Les Garcons de la Plage" or "Else, un roman photo". "Premieres Baisers" and its spin-off, "H�l�ne et les Garcons", each of about 200 episodes, both had several sequels.
