Launch Pad February 19, 2022

Mi fortuna es amarte starts on Monday at 9pm on Univision. I keep thinking I’ll give some of these new shows a try, but once they come around I’m just…meh.

I take back everything I’ve said about David Zepeda. He’s doing a great job in this latest role.

Or I should see that since I’m also watching LFDD at the same time I can compare the two performances and I feel like he’s improved.

I hear that PrendeTV is going to become ViX in late March. I wonder what the recent Televisa-Univision merger will mean for the offerings and how long it will be a free app.

I mean it’s not like there’s anything new happening in the networks in regards to shows.

It’s Alma de Hierro right? I think the only way I can get that channel is to get fubotv and the base price for that is too high not to mention I have to pay for an add on to get tlnovelas. So not really worth it to me because while I appreciate the older offerings of that channel I can only think of two shows I watched all the way through: Cuna de lobos and La verdad oculta.

I just saw this in my twitter feed-
https://www.produ.com/noticias/telemundo-estrena-su-nuevo-formato-lamesa-caliente-con-cuatro-conductoras-destacadas-el-lunes-7-de-marzo?mc=true

Is this supposed to be the replacement for SLS? It doesn’t strike me as being necessarily about la farándula.

Right? That’s exactly what I thought!

Thanks so much for the heads up, Sara! Since I’m not watching anything on Telemundo at the moment, I hadn’t heard a thing about this. It’s a good cast, but it does sound more like The View, rather than the kind of dish-the-dirt show I’m looking for, LOL!

(Kat), I’m not getting notifications about new posts, even though I’m subscribing to Launch Pad comments. Is it just me?

My thoughts on the first episode of Mi fortuna-
I liked the cast.
Some good music.
For me it was a lot to take in.
I will probably watch the next episode, but at the same time there wasn’t anything spectacular about the first episode (except for the mariachis).

I saw DZ and Susana Gonzalez in La Flaca Y el Gordo today to talk up Amarte es mi fortuna. . I actually found DZ sort of sweet and charming.

Amarte es mi fortuna seems to have a fairly good rating on IMDB. I think I’m looking forward to watching.

I’m going to end up disappointed aren’t I?

One thing I always found interesting about DZ: he has a law degree!

Oh yeah. I had forgotten about that! You know, he did seem a little nervous in the interview. I wonder if he still isn’t used to that aspect of the business.

He’s still not my favorite, but I am really liking him in Mi Fortuna.
