Pin-Pon is a French Canadian children's television series that aired on Canal Famille from 1996 to 1998.[1] It starred Yves Soutière and Thomas Graton as Pin-Pin and Pon-Pon, two firefighters who lead children in various songs, stories, and games in their fire station. The supporting cast included Philippe Lambert as Pin-Pin's brother Pouet-Pouet.

The series ended production in 1998 but aired in reruns until 2001 and was subsequently also rebroadcast on Télé-Québec.

In 2022, Soutière and Graton reunited to create a TikTok video in character as Pin-Pin and Pon-Pon, to promote the book Génération Canal Famille, a history of the channel.[2]
