Don't speak Spanish, so no. Besides, most of the programs look very weird.

I did watch it one time. I watched a Mexican soap because I was board and thought what the heck. I didn't understand a thing they said.

i think they speak about as fast as we do, it just seems fast because we don't know many of the words and it isn't slow enough for us to distinguish them.

I read somewhere that a significant # of telenovela viewers don't understand Spanish. Producers are aware of this and make the soaps easy to follow without the use of verbal language.

Sabado Gigante is popular among non-Spanish speakers as well. Weird.

I love watching telemundo. I started watching it in high school for my spanih classes and have been hooked ever since. I especially enjoy the talk shows.

Yes ma'am.

They had to put that there because of those morons running out of the audience. Not that the fence has stopped them.

My daughter used to watch it (before she started working) and she would tell me, "Mom, come here and look at this." Oh God

I hate that damn show.
