TELEMUNDO Y MÁS (#1): Cennet, Enemigo Íntimo 2, y más: Week of August 17, 2020

Welcome to Page #1 (Monday edition) of the Telemundo y Más page, issued twice a week: Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00 PM.

Here are the current evening telenovelas (all times are Eastern Daylight Time):

• 9-10PM—Cennet**
• 10-11PM—Enemigo Íntimo 2**

**This is a heads-up about the schedule for this Thursday, August 20. Telemundo and Zap2It have conflicting information.  According to Telemundo, Cennet will start at 8:54 PM, and at 9:54 PM there will be a program entitled Decisión 2020: La Noche de Biden. I'm assuming this is when Biden will give his acceptance speech to the virtual convention. However, according to Zap2It, Decisión 2020 will run from 6:54-8 PM, Exatlón will run from 8-10 PM, and Cennet will run from 10-11 PM. The only thing they seem to agree on is that Enemigo Íntimo 2 will not be shown on Thursday. Everything returns to normal on Friday.  If there's any clarification by the time I put up the Thursday TyM page, I'll put it there.

Everyone is welcome to join in the conversation.  Since discussions of all the Telemundo novelas share the same page, please remember to put the name of the telenovela you're referring to at the top of your post, so readers can easily find the conversations they're looking for.

By common agreement, this group DOES NOT discuss previews, trailers, or any other plot information not found in a current or past episode of the current production. Spoilers WILL be removed by the admin. This includes reference to earlier productions of the story, and even the original novel. Thanks for your cooperation!

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 8/6/20: Hot, Smokin' Hot, Hotter Than a Stolen Tamale

This Weekend Discussion is brought to you by Adriana Noel, from a location far away, and yet so near and dear to our Caray hearts.

As you might have guessed, I'm not  talking about the weather...

There are many valid, commendable, inspiring reasons to watch telenovelas. Learn Spanish, bonding moment with a family member, be part of the wonderful Caray Caray community, get entertained by silly plots and spectacular drama. But let's not forget one important aspect of telenovela watching: the male eye candy.

(I apologize in advance for any men who might be reading this post)

I could never rank the galans, because beauty is so subjective, but I will mention my favorite ones, my telenovios, how we so tenderly call them around here.

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?

You may refer to Urban’s The Wedding Album, Volume 1 (http://caraycaray.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-wedding-album-volume-1.html)

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.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/25/20: "My amor, por favor" - the language of telenovelas

Hello, my lovely Caray mates!

In a previous Weekend Discussion, many of you mentioned as the main reason for starting to watch novelas the need to learn Spanish. For me it was the other way around, I only learned Spanish because I started watching novelas, as a ten year old.

I never really needed to use the language until a year or so ago, when I changed jobs. Working in a hotel you're in contact with all types of nationalities, but my hotel has A LOT of Spanish speaking clients.

One night I was tending to four lovely Mexican ladies, who had been taking a trip to Paris for the last couple of weeks. They were celebrating one of the ladies 60th birthday and I started chatting with them in my so and so Spanish. They thought I spoke rather well (they were being nice) and I explained the source of my Spanish skills. At one point I offered to bring them a bottle of wine and since they were reluctant to accept, I added: "solo un poquitito" (just a tiny bit). They started laughing and said/ "This is such a telenovela expression."

Because REAL PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY SPEAK LIKE TELENOVELA PEOPLE apparently!

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/18/20: Evils and Anvils…Too Much? Too Little?

Picture provided by Doris!

In 70 BC, when writing about law and crime, Marcus Tullius Cicero opined, “Let the punishment be proportionate to the offenses.”  And how many times has that happened (or not) in Telenovelalandia?  

We can identify villains from the inception of  the TNs and OH! how we tend to grit our teeth and throw nerfazos at them; though we know that their evil ways and crimes will only get worse as the story evolves. They plot, they lie, they prey on their victims mercilessly…and we hope that karmageddon comes sooner than later (sometimes to no avail).

For this week, we want you to delve into the villians of the past (or present) and the karmageddon which befell them. Who got what was coming to them and what did they get? Was it too much, too little, too quick?  

If you need a refresher about some of the villains and their karmageddon, take a look at the index posted early last week of Karmageddon pages posted by Urban Anthropologist (thank you, Urban!!).

In which we have another telenovelalandia discussion while we adapt to the outdoor climate.  Summer's heat and humidity have arrived  and  we give thanks for air-conditioning.     Walking out the front door, these past few days, are like being at the beach.  Warm, humid, breezy.  Thank you (not!) tropical depression Cristobal.  

List your answers to as many as you can and let's have fun with it.   Some of us might have to consult Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine for answering 'A'.     

This  includes Telemundo and Looneyvision Univision telenovelas.   


A.)  Which was the first telenovela you watched?  (and which year?)

B. )  Why did you start watching telenovelas?
  
C.)  Why do you continue watching?

D.)  Favorite telenovela(s)?

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/3/20: The Toddlers, Tots, Tweens & Teens of Telenovelalandia


(Sorry for the alliterative title.  Blame coffee... ☕  
And I hope I've posted this correctly.   
Disclaimer:  Patio team captains, please go in and change whatever needs to be changed, or let me know, so I can do it.)

While some telenovelas have children as the main trope/plot propeller of the series, other telenovelas have children as secondary characters.  Some of them stick in my head for-ever.  Some are great little actors, some are a bit … wooden, some are as annoying as chigger bites, and some don’t do much at all except act as a set prop or plot propeller by their sheer existence.   

So this week, please share with us the telenovela kids & kidlets that you remember fondly.  Or not-so-fondly.  👼👿   

Below are some I can think of , and there are probably more that I have blotted out of my memory for the sake of sanity.  

My picks, off the top of my head:
