Moi et l'autre was Radio-Canada's first program to be broadcast in colour, after colourcasting began in Canada in 1966; however, some episodes of this series exist today only as black and white recordings.[1]

From 1995 to 1997, a revival series was broadcast on Radio-Canada; the new series was written by Filiatrault and featured the same cast as the original series, except for Jean-Paul Dugas (who did not participate) and Réal Béland (who died in 1983; his role was played by Martin Drainville as Gustave Jr.).
