Some kind of turning point? Death knell for the networks? It beat ALL the competition, English, Spanish or whatever.

Soon we will see prime-time TV programs on the main alphabet media networks in Spanish. It WILL happen.

When you allow the floodgates of immigration (including an insane illegal immigration number) to remain open, it is no surprise that Spanish anything continues to grow at an incredible rate.

Further - the lack of backbone to do what nearly every other civilized nation in the world has done - make a language the “official” language - is now paying dividends, but not the kind we want or need.

Have you ever seen Latino broadcasts?

The women are hotter than hot and USA censorship standards are ignored.

They usually skate on the edge of porn.

And that is just the News. The Telenovellas are even more risque.

That is because novelas feature some seriously hot women.

Network television is such crap. I would chuck my TV if I didn’t like sports so much.

Obama TV - All of it is including Fox Al Waleed and ABC Al Waleed and CNN Al Waleed and all the NBC/MSNBC/CNBC AL Waleed. All garbage, all pro Obama, all run “stupid white guy” TV commercials.

I know from watching a condensed version of a Mexican telenovela that the hot babe observation is true.

The other aspect is the format. The telenovela doesn’t go on for 30 years.

And this is how I rank Asian dramas/lakom/teleserye/etc for hot babes.

1) Thailand—oh, those half Thais
2) China—so many cute as a button
3) Philippines—oh, those half Pinays
4) Japan
5) Vietnam—I see hotter Vietnamese women wandering around this US town, though
6) Korea—a lot of homely types among the beauties

There is one thing to consider. There is only one network for our non-English speaking friends. The rest of us can scatter over 200+ channels and on demand and Netflix type endeavors. This may be like the old days for us over 30 people who only had four channels and usually gravitated to one. PBS obviously.

It’s been happening to LA radio for some time.

When the Treason Lobby is in charge of both parties you get an America swamped by colonists replacing the American people with their own people and language and culture. According to Clinton and Bush and Obama this is A Good Thing.

La Reina drew 2.9 million viewers and roughly 1.93 million were in the ad-favored 18-49 demo. For Monday and Tuesday’s telecasts, La Reina has averaged 1.89 million in the demo, up 7 percent from its premiere week. In adults 18-34, La Reina had its best ratings to date with 1.13 million.

I don’t quite understand this. The Good Wife had over 10 million viewers and 2.0 rating among 18-49 demo. I must not understand the way ratings are done.....obviously. lol.

Have you watched one of these? My wife watches or records them all the time. I actually like the period-dramas. American networks have such a stigma of bias and corruption to them. Many of the Spanish or Portuguese translated to Spanish soap operas are kind of there as well, but you still get caught up in them.

They used to be pretty cheesy, but they've come a long way.

The worst one I saw was in Brasil called "Deus Ajudanos". An wealthy old jerk was dying and his kin wanted to get rid of him. First, he died of a stroke. Then each family member sneaked into the room separately and killed him by one method or another, not leaving a mark so that the next person thought they were killing him. Pretty funny, but you could smell the cheese - lol!

"Betty La Fea" was popular enough to translate into English.

And the women...the women...SI! ; D

Based on a story by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, the melodrama focuses on the rise of a female drug lord. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Reina_del_Sur_(telenovela)
