FYI -- 30Rock does a telenovela
Labels: entertainment-news
Having TNs in shows is not new: Ugly Betty has TNs that the family watches (actually they might be one of the few shows that acknowledges the fact that they end because they keep changing the names as I recall - it's been a while since I've watched that one as well). House made fun of his friend Wilson who watched a TN called "El Fuego del Amor" to improve his Spanish and erased it from his Tivo (including the finale) as revenge for taking his guitar or something like that. In Psych, our fake detective went undercover as an actor for a TN for which a fan, much like the abuela in 30 Rock, had a hard time telling the plotline apart from reality. Actually a couple of folks started watching LT because that episode of Psych was re-broadcast in Spanish on Telemundo and they saw ads for LT. Guess our "prime time network" folks are starting to see the power of the TN ;)

We got caught up on "30 Rock" dvd's over the holiday. I don't like waiting week-to-week for shows, so I guess I'll have to wait until the dvd's for this season come out to see them together.
