Last of the AB series. This sitcom is intended as a French version of Friends. Program: saucy humor and cartoonish stereotypes. And yet this ephemeral series in only 22 episodes has two assets: the charm of the pretty Virginie Desarnauts, well known to the French public, and the talent of singer Christophe Rippert (whose songs were often present in the French top 50 in the early 90.) who turns out to be an excellent actor.

Stargate Base Gamma is released in the cinema, but only in a few cinemas in eastern France, and also in Blu-ray.
