Adios Sabado Gigante
Posted by SMAZ on Fri Apr 17 14:57:49 2015 fiogf49gjkf0d esta noticia me ha inducido in lagrimas ---------------------- “Sábado Gigante,” the longest-running TV variety show in history, is signing off WRITTEN BY Adam Epstein - Quartz Latinos in the United States are losing a cultural icon. Sábado Gigante, the wild and wacky Univision variety show that has endured for more than 53 years, will end in September (link in Spanish). Mario Kreutzberger, who has hosted the show from its beginning, decided it was time to take the show off the air, according to someone familiar with the network’s move. Kreutzberger, better known by his stage name Don Francisco, is 74 years old. Known for its singing, dancing, kooky games, animal tricks, and nearly naked women, Sábado Gigante became a staple of Univision’s programming in the US and was for a while its most popular show. It is the longest-running variety show in history. Ratings, however, have declined in recent years. Sábado Gigante began in Chile in 1962, before Kreutzberger brought the program to Miami, where it has filmed since. The show airs for three hours every Saturday night in the US and is syndicated in more than 40 countries. For those not familiar with the show, here’s a taste: The unabashed craziness of Sábado Gigante made it ripe for imitation, including parodies from Family Guy (video) and The Colbert Report (video), in which Stephen Colbert inhabits his Francisco-inspired alter ego “Esteban Colberto.” The finale episode will air September 19 on Univision. Kreutzberger will remain with the network to help it develop new projects.

But if you need to know why they won't find a replacement? Even though the show is based in Miami, and Smaz is using the usual amnesty doubletalk, I'd suggest spend some time in texas, check out how many "spanish" over the air channels there are, and see how offer and juvenile the shows and movies are. After 20 minutes the novelty goes when your realize you graduated from 5th grade. Unless you like a 7 year old's idea of a realistic shootout scene.

I was 15 when I discovered her. If you ever saw her show, you’d know why a 15 year old boy would watch it religiously.

It was a great show for families for years. Hosted and I think created by a Jewish guy. So of course Obama had to do away with it.

My mother used to yell down the stairs “why are you watching a Spanish show”? I said I was studying Spanish in school and needed the practice. LOL, it didn’t matter what language she sang in.
