 This absorption of a woman into the traditionally male world of political journalism and commentary was unusual, yet Sauvé managed to be taken seriously, even being given her own television show, "Opinions", which covered "such taboo subjects as teenage sex, parental authority, and student discipline".On air from 1956 to 1963, "it was the show that made Jeanne famous".However, Sauvé also attracted negative attention due to her husband's eventual elevation as a Crown minister; in a piece in "The Globe and Mail", Progressive Conservative MP Louis-Joseph Pigeon expressed concern over the wife of a minister being paid "fabulous sums by the CBC", calling the circumstances a "shame and a scandal".
