WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/30/20: Who Can Resist a Wedding, Especially if it Goes Wrong - Bodas Interrupti
Urban Anthropologist (and I draw on her expertise again and
again) graced us with Weekend Discussions of Weddings and Bodas Interrupti.
Since I couldn’t find a Part II for the latter, I’ve elected to review and
update Bodas Interrupti for this weekend. There also seems to be a trend where
the HEA not always ends with a sumptuous wedding. Do Carayers miss those
gorgeous wedding scenes full of romance and commitment?

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/23/20: The Producers and Their Works
PRODUCERS TELENOVELOGRAPHIES
What do you think of the executive producers and their
works? Have they gotten better as their body of work grew? Have they faded or
taken an easier route (remakes) to the screen? What do you think of the Winners of the Best
Telenovelas for different years? Do you agree? I offered my own opinion in some
cases. Are the "less than best" attributed to them, the writers, directors or cast? There is no test next week, it’s for enjoyment only. You can skim
through your favorite and not so favorite executive producers to get a taste of
their taste in selecting stories to bring to the small pantalla. Maybe there is
a pattern to their choices, maybe not.
The listings are not purported to be exhaustive, or to name
every single producer who has ever made a telenovela we have enjoyed. For the purposes of this list, most of the producers
made telenovelas for Televisa and were shown on prime-time on Univision or made for Telemundo and recapped on CarayCaray. The Turkish offerings on Telemundo are
not covered here, although some were recapped on CarayCaray.
If anyone wants to add a producer, title, date, main stars,
please do so in your comments and I will gladly add them.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/9/20: Where Have All The Padres Gone?
It has been somewhat noticeable in the last few years—and dozens
of telenovelas— that the importance of religious guides as dispensers of spiritual
wisdom, salve and balm have largely disappeared from telenovela stories. If
they appear at all, they are rarely seen and often in lighter, shorter roles,
like presiding over a wedding. What could this mean?
Where is a Padre Hottie (Diego Olivera-pictured above) in Triumfo del Amor (2010) when we want to
fantasize about forbidden love? He seems to have been replaced by sterile consulting
offices and clinics administered by serious sounding practitioners of medicine
and mental health. They are the new dispensers of wisdom and offer a cure-all for
what ails the seeker. Currently, Te Doy
La Vida (2020) gives us a perfect example. Who now remembers that Nelson
consulted a padre to rid himself of those “impure” thoughts he had been having
about Ester? I don’t think we’ve seen any of the Villaseñor family members
consult a religious figure, but instead we get doctors and psychologists to
minister to Elena and Nico’s troubles. Granted, Nico did have a serious medical
problem that no padre could have cured with prayer alone.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/2/20: Telenovela Kitchens and Food
How important are kitchens and food in Caray’s favorite
Mexican telenovelas?
Are they really reflective of the current cuisine, or only
in the eyes of the writers and producers?
COCHINITA PIBIL WITH RED ONIONS
What about
telenovelas de época? Did anyone cook and serve meals in Amor Real, Pasion or Alborada? Ah, but then there is El Hotel de los Secretos, the Mexican
version of Upstairs/Downstairs, so of course the kitchen had to have a central
role, which included chopping onions, burning bloody clothes and poisoning tea.
Has street food played any importance? Think Un Refugio Para el Amor and Lorenzo’s bicycle Taco business, prepared in Estela’s kitchen; think Amores Verdaderos and Nikki eating an Elote from a street vendor for the first time.
