If I could have a new episode of my favorite tv show every night for 4-5 months and then have a new one come along I would be so happy. The whole season thing really kills it. I hate waiting several months for the show to come back on, and I have seen too many shows just fizzle out and not be contracted for another season. I wish all shows were like telenovelas!<br />I also came in with a lot of preconceptions about telenovelas being like soap operas. I know a few people who watch telenovelas regularly but the shows always seemed to be so melodramatic and just plain ridiculous. But "La Reina del Sur" wasn't like that at all! It was nice to have a great example of what we were learning in class to show us how different the two types of television truly were.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754113337288699674noreply@blogger.com
