Elle est issue au départ de scènes humoristiques sur la vie de couple de l'émission Besoin d'amour diffusée sur les ondes de TQS en 1996 animée par Guy A. Lepage. Le concept, simple, était de rassembler des scènes humoristiques de courte durée selon l'endroit où se trouve le couple (au cinéma, au lit, en voyage). Un épisode regroupait généralement trois endroits entrecoupés de pauses publicitaires pour un total de 22 minutes. Les épisodes étaient filmés presque toujours sous un seul angle de vue et on ne voyait à l'écran que le couple. Les personnages secondaires étaient souvent derrière la caméra et on n'entendait que leur voix ou on ne voyait que leurs mains. Certains personnages tertiaires qui apparaissaient à l'écran étaient joués de façon répétitive par les mêmes acteurs et actrices tels Norman Helms, France Parent, etc. qui incarnaient les serveurs de restaurant, les préposés à la clientèle, les clients de Guy, etc.
