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.

I know—it just sounded really bad translated directly to English. I was hoping for a laugh!

[La Lydia]

I watch them all the time. Several years ago they did an excellent Zorro.

1) Thailand—oh, those half Thais

Eh... better watch it with those Thai "women of the second kind."

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.

No kidding... so tempting to just give them all "amnesty," personally!

Now that right there is a Tsunami survivor/Sarc off.

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)

If you get MHz network channels, they have French news on every hour. It is usually very good.

Yeah I remember remake of Zorro

I hear they try do another version of it

No word YET if coming into production they try get script together

That is because novelas feature some seriously hot women.

Exhibit A: Barbara Mori

Don’t forget the variety shows! Benny Hill would blush!

Although my Spanish is limited, I enjoy "Sabado Gigante", Don Francisco is a great guy, the son of German Jews who fled Nazi Germany for Chile.

[SevenofNine]

[GlockThe Vote]
