3''Premiers Baisers'' (French for ''First Kisses'') is a French series created by AB Productions that aired from 1991 to 1995 in the ''Series/ClubDorothee'' show on the [=TF1=] channel.
4
5A SpinOff of ''Salut les Musclés'', another AB sitcom, ''Premiers Baisers'' focuses on teenage girl Justine Girard, her boyfriend Jérôme, her friends, and family. With only one season of 318 episodes and a RevolvingDoorCasting, it's a cross between a sitcom and SoapOpera, like most series of the AB Productions universe. It has two sequels: ''Les Années fac'' (1995-1998) that continues the story of the protagonists in college, and later ''Les Années bleues'' (1998), a not very popular ShortRunner about the characters as adults.
6
7Justine's older sister Hélène only appears sporadically in the first 60 episodes, and then leaves the series to star in her own spin-off ''Series/HeleneEtLesGarcons'', which also has its own three sequels. The third sequel ''Les Mystères de l'amour'' (which started in 2011) features some ''Premiers Baisers'' characters coming back.
