Sprry but NO. Here only a TV channel pass those soap operas, but there were changes on the administration of the channel and not more soap operas.

Whoa, that soap operas are very, very old. Here they show lots of Mexican soap operas too. My nephews loved Rebeldes. It has finished last week. There was also one from Venezuela, I think. My mother watched that and it was called Betty, a feia here. Do you know that?

Rebeldes? Is that Rebelde Way or something like that?

And the second one is popular in Spain, too. It's called Betty la fea.

I have never watched any of those, thank dog.

As I've read, yes, that's a Mexican remake of the Argentinan version Rebeldes Way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebelde

But I didn't watched any of that either.

Oh Edumelo, as Dixie I didn´t like Rebelde. It hasn´t any value contest. And Bety la Fea is a soap opera from Colombia. A little funny. Now there is a mexican version: La fea más bella (The beaytifull more ugly).
The soap operas I mentioned had a historic or literary contest. Example Misses Flor and her two housband; August (this is about the died of Getulio Vargas, a president of Brasil).

Dear Dixie, not all the soap operas are bad. Some are like a movie in chapters with very good contest. This is the case of August and the another I mentioned.

I seldom watch TV, but I never liked soap operas, especially the Latin American ones :roll: They are the worst thing ever!!!! However, I still remember the first one that was broadcasted here: Cristal. I was very little by then. It was from Venezuela, I think. My mom used to watch it every day and I loved the theme song.

:arrow: :arrow: I can't believe I found it in Youtube!!!!! Cristal
