Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier's TV shows are easy to recognize by their unexpected duets of artists, by the actors singing and singers acting, by the creation of different sceneries each week, or even by the scripting of their shows. Also, Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier's TV shows were often broadcast live and did not include artists' promotional content. For most of them, since their beginnings in radio and until the 1980s, their shows were recorded in the mythic studio 17 of the Buttes-Chaumont Studios in Paris. Some of their shows, the "Top à..." and "Numéro 1" series in particular, had an audience of 15 million viewers each week, and were being shown in 20 French-speaking countries. Gilbert Carpentier was in charge of the technical part and the sceneries, while his wife Maritie Carpentier, sometimes nicknamed "la nounou des artistes" ("the artists' nanny"), was dealing with the artistic part. In 1980, Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier won an Emmy Award for the best foreign TV show.
