Do you (or did you) watch telenovelas?

[CassieFan]

Nope.

I don't agree with Sylph statements about telenovelas. I think it depends about the country. I mean, I love watching AMC, but I still think that novelas like O Clone have much more quality than AMC, GH ecc.

On the other hand, Mexico can't compare with USA. They keep producing telenovelas that are a disgrace to the genre.

[CassieFan]

That's true. American soaps have much more quality than Mexican porquerias.

Here is another of my favorite telenovelas

[Sylph]

Celebridade opening (oh, the eternal Love's Theme):

What's going on with Adela Noriega? Any recent telenovelas?

[dm.]

A good opening, I must say. Sylph, your HTML code still seems to be giving you hard time.

[Sylph]

Oh, don't ask! I don't know what's going on?

[dm.]

It works fine for me. You just turn on the "HTML On" and add the embeded lines.... I don't know what it doesn't work for ya.

Adela Noriega is currently the lead actress on Fuego En La Sangre.

[CassieFan]

Celebridade had an excellent opening. Adela is starring in "Fuego en la Sangre", a total bad rip off of "Pasion de Gavilanes".

[Sylph]

Well, Barry White's lush strings and horns defined the sound of a whole era! I never get tired of listening to Love's Theme.

Oh, good heavens... Remakes again.

[CassieFan]

Almost every Mexican telenovela these days is just a bad remake.

Why the heck would they already need to remake "Pasion de Gavilanes." It's a show from 2003. Soon we'll have Televisa ripping off their own show.

"If it airs in 2008, you can expect a ripoff in 2009." It's really lame.

[YRBB]

Wow, memories. All these have been very popular here (except, perhaps, Laberintos de Pasion).
