The Spanish-language soap topped Univision and English-language broadcast networks in the adults 18-34 demo in its time period Tuesday. It's not a good sign when a Spanish-language soap tops English-language broadcast networks. That's what happened Tuesday night at 10 p.m. with Telemundo's La Reina del Sur. The program was No. 1 in its time slot in the adults 18-49 and 18-34 demographics, according to Nielsen.
In the latter demo, La Reina topped CBS, ABC, NBC and Univision in the period.
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.
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.
Don’t forget the variety shows! Benny Hill would blush!
La Usurpadora was an incredibly risque program many years ago. But then the censors got it and ripped it to shreds.
If you like risque, watch them during the first run. If you don’t, watch the re-runs, which are heavily edited.
And don’t forget 300 channels of infomercials all night and most of the day. P.C. doesn’t allow many old shows and movies to be shown. Somebody somewhere in the P.C. wagon will be offended.
Check out the NEWS, too! Barbara Bermudo and Ilia Calderon, for example;))
By the way, TTIWWOP!!!;)
Smoking hot. And even better when the volume is turned off.
The Latino news channels cook too. None of this PC crap of keeping women news broadcasters on until they're collecting their social security checks.
Indeed. Kinda like French TV News (hot diggity damn!).
I loved La Usurpadora. I watched it first run and I don’t remember it being any more risque than the others at that time. They have gradually worked their way toward soft porn in some cases. El Cuerpo del Deseo was pretty hot stuff. Perro Amor and Sortilegio were definitely soft porn. Reina del Sur is farther out there than any I have seen.
I have been watch Spanish language TV as long as I can remember. Please see my comments on the porn elements above, post 13.
>>Smoking hot. And even better when the volume is turned off.<<
Isn’t that true in real time with women of all ethnicities in general?
(I am SOOOOOO gonna get it, ain’t I?)
I got question I saw preview I did see first episode it Narco Soap I hate those soaps
I been watching one at 9pm on Telumundo called La Hermando De Monte or something
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
Yeah you are right
Mexican soap only last like 3 or 6 month
My mom watch those soaps she understand Spanish she been watching Spanish soaps ever since Veronica Castro was on in late 1970s into early 1980s
I watch La Reina del Sur, and I don't speak any Spanish, and my ancestry is German, English, and Swedish.
The soft porn aspect doesn't appeal to me. It's seeing people smoking cigarettes. In bars, at restaurants, sitting on their stoop.
Also, they film at a lot of different scenic locations.
