Caray, Caray!

 ALOHA, Caraymates!!

I wish I could tell you I'm in Hawaii, but nopis! Still here at my ranchito tending to my animalitos...no leeway for vacations, weekends, days off, etc., etc., etc...

I've been asked about the "Coming Soon..." pages, so I want to address that here. I don't have much time to do more than an occasional recap, comments, or monitoring of the blog; so I will not be creating/posting summaries of the upcoming telenovelas. BUT I do want to encourage and welcome anyone who would like to take over that duty :-)

Ahoy there, Caraymates!!!

We’re on the heels of the end of the year…and what a year it was in telenoveland! During the 2022 year, we saw mucho backstabbing, intrigue, mystery, murder, and other not so nice stuff, but we also saw slap-stick, repeated reconciliations, forgiveness, love-lorn looks, weddings, all that delicious food and so many other good things! And I am sure the 2023 year will bring much of the same, but in different stories and in varied ways.

It’s taken me a while longer than I anticipated, but I finally have what so many have been waiting for…news on what’s coming!! I can tell you that there are some really good TNs coming our way! But as always, before I start, I must add my usual disclaimer:

The information you are about to read was gathered from a variety of sources including, “Univision,” “People en Español,” “La Opinion,” “Wikipedia,” “Forbes,” “Las Estrellas,” and "MediaVillage”.  The articles/webpages read are dated from as far back as Spring, 2022; so changes may have been made by the powers that be in the production companies (and I am not privy to the changes). As you will note, I have very little information about release dates, but this page will be updated periodically throughout the 2023 year with any additional information I come across. If you have current or more accurate information to share, please do so; it will be greatly appreciated and used to update the page. So onward we go---

You all haven’t “seen” me on the comments pages, but I’m still keeping an eye on everyone. I saw that Stevey posted some comments on the Primetime page about upcoming TNS, so I thought I’d copy and post them on a separate page so everyone can be in the know, especially since there is mention about FERNANDO COLUNGA!!  Here is what Stevey posted…

 SALUDOS, Caraymates!

Welcome to the third/Fall edition of the “Coming Soon” page! We’re in the last laps of the 2021 year and currently have some pretty darned good TNS airing; some have a ways to go while others have concluded or are in their last laps. HERCAI fans are biting their fingernails and scratching their heads waiting to see what Telemundo will do with the third season where bigger and better secrets are revealed…que angustia!!

While we enjoy the current TNs, we can also look forward to what’s coming. By the looks of what we are currently seeing, it seems that producers have heard the pleas for more traditional and/or family-oriented TNs, but there are still a few action-packed series out there. Below you will find some of the TNs that you can expect on one of your favorite networks.

In this third edition, you will also find a special section titled In the World of Dizi. Several are already familiar with this genre of series which has become very popular in recent years. Don’t know what a dizi is? Well, read on and you can find out about it…and a very intriguing dizi that is on the horizon…well at least it is to this viewer LOL

 SALUDOS, Caraymates!

Welcome to the second edition of the “Coming Soon” page! We’re well into the 2021 year and have some very interesting TNS airing; some have a ways to go while others have concluded or are in their last laps; “so what’s next?” you may ask. Well, we still haven’t seen many of the TNs discussed in the first edition of this page and some are on their way while others have been cancelled for airing in the US. You can forget about ¿Que Le Pasa a Mi Familia?..that’s the one that Univisión cancelled due to some unfortunate unforeseen circumstances that cannot be discussed here. Telemundo’s Café Con Aroma with heartthrob, William Levy, is “coming soon muy pronto” and some of us are excited about that! There has been no mention of Fuego Ardiente on Univisión, so we’ll just have to wait ‘n see what happens with that. In regards to Malverde: El Santo Patrón, well, we are disappointed that Fernando Colunga bowed out, but he will be replaced by Pedro Fernandez; the TN is still expected to air sometime in 2021.

So what else is on the horizon? Well, get your coffee/drink and let’s talk…

Greetings, Caraymates and Happy Holidays!

 

Another telenovela year comes to an end and I’m sure you are wondering what 2021 has in store for us. In last year’s “Coming Soon” pages, I listed some TNs that are yet to be seen, but have already aired in Mexico. These include: Soltero Con Hijas and La Mexicana y El Güero; so, we may see these some time next year. As for “new” TNs, grab a seat in the patio and let me tell you what I know (or have found). Before I start, I do want to put in some disclaimers—

The reason for this post is to announce my intention to create a website where my own recaps of Spanish telenovelas and possibly other shows, not available elsewhere, such as La Otra, can be ordered and purchased for a fair price.  I hold a B1 certificate in English, so translating from Spanish to English will be my primary focus.

I notice that many posts are being written in Microsoft Word or other word processing programs. This can break the blog. Below, see what you get when you don't use PLAIN TEXT - please compose in Notepad or equivalent, or type directly into the HTML tab at blogger (NOT the compose tab) or save your file as plain text if you use Microsoft etc. stuff like what you see below is NOT good for the blog.

I don't, as you know, make any money off this blog, but that doesn't mean I don't try to make money elsewhere! I'm interested in your opinions: could a character this obscure be popular today? Let me know what you think in the comments! Thanks!

I love old pop culture. I've been bringing back to life Samuel Zagat's early 20th century comic strip called "Gimpel Beynish the Matchmaker." Gimpel was wildly beloved by the people of New York City's Lower East Side. Gimpel, that shlemiel, seldom succeeded in anything he did, yet he never got discouraged and his self-esteem was unimpaired. That must have been very heartening for folks struggling to make a buck.

You can see the comics as I clean them up and translate them, here: GimpelBeynish.com and also see two books of his comics which I've published.

Wondering if Gimpel could be loved by the modern world too, I just make a couple Gimpel tshirts. They are only $14.99. Click on either picture to see more colors and styles...

1. An impoverished millionaire turns his pockets inside out



2. Gimpel visits the high seas during World War I, falls in the ocean and is rescued by a submarine. Here is is looking through the periscope!


Thanks!
