Does anyone have any good suggestions for easy French media? I want to get my French (back) to somewhat useful level. With regular content usually I get the gist, but I feel like I am missing too much to make tangible progress. However it can be a bit more advanced than that junkyard pineapple.

As a kid I read all the albums and watched all the movies that existed at the time. Perhaps it is time for the originals.

Note: you will not get all the jokes. Most Francophones reading them today wonât get many of the jokes either. Unless you are a historian specialising in French domestic politics in the 1960s and 1970s, there are jokes which will just go straight past you no matter how fluent you are.
Some of the translations turned some of those jokes into different jokes for foreign readers, who couldnât be expected to understand De Gaulleâs role in the budget crisis of 1960-mumble.
