is always good for a chuckle, plus it is an old standard.

5. This is very true

[liberalpress]

7. IIRC

"Sabado" ain't the only thing that "Gigante" on that show!

[LynzM]

8. You're very right about that.....

There's some ( Y ) gigante going on, too :rofl:

9. I got hooked on Sabado Gigante while living in Panama.

To me it's kind of like a hybrid: Benny Hill joins Lawrence Welk.

4. S.O. watches Telemundo all the time - doesn't speak Spanish

I told my 83-year old puritanical dad that we call it The Mammary Channel, and he about fell out of his chair.

My mother asked what I meant, we switched to "Telemundo" to show her, and there was a girl with pneumatic breasts, wearing a skintight plunging top, delivering the "news". Didn't even have to wait 30 seconds to show my mom what we were talking about - there they were - instant boobs.

6. Telemundo likes its wimmin filled out, too

No skinny chix wanted.

10. Mundo de Fieras

It's a soap, but nevertheless very entertaining. Soaps on Univision/Telemundo never last for more than six months or so,therefore the plot moves along.

Really though any program will work. I have a small dictionary I keep handy to look up things I don't understand.

12. The chat/infotainment ones and (believe it or not) the news

* Gordo y la Flaca - an afternoon gossip/silliness deal.

* Primer Impacto - Starts off with seemingly series news, then does gossip/music/"shocking" (impactful) segments. Sports (mostly soccer). Horoscopes.

The signature here is that Univision finds NO problem with featuring voluptuous women in supposedly anchor positions. The concept is that don't-hate-me-because-I'm-beautiful types can READ copy as well as supposedly intellectual/HOMELY stereotypes. They have a see-through anchor desk (glass or plexiglass) and the camera angle is frequently, accidentally aimed at crotch level. The girls, besides being voluptuous, are very tall, with LONGGGG legs, and are atired in anything ranging from Xena straps to... O.K., I think I've rambled enough.

* Their news is sleek and professional and has more NEWS instead of medical and consumer segment junk. The co-anchor dude was pals with Peter JENNINGS and has that aura. The female co-anchor has been doing this for years, so what's the big woof with COURIC. There is the expected Hispanic angle--lots about immigration and border issues. But there is also the different prism, inclusiveness of items skipped by the U.S. networks.

* As for the aforementioned (above) Sabado Gigante, it is a marathon deal whose hook is to do segments of what actually are EVERY OTHER game show already on the air: That is, they do a few minutes of something like a singing contest, a competition of physical stuff, Card Sharks, car giveaways, Price is Right, EVERYTHING crammed into 3 hours. Comedy skits, heart-wrenching family reunions. Suspense: Will the wronged spouse take back the prodigal spouse? Maury POVICH DNA segments-------the WORKS!!!1

I can only take about one hour of it, the last one, ending with the big car giveaway.
