El Cohete

Here’s my occasional post to say I’m still here, appearances to the contrary.

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.

Monday is Día de San Valentín, or Día de los Enamorados, or Día del Amor y de la Amistad, or Día de Comer Muchos Chocolates. Have a good one.

Presumably in honor of this day (?) Telemundo’s going to end their afternoon rerun of Pasión de Gavilanes and begin the new season at 10pm.

Also on Monday, UniMás is starting a rerun of Lo que la vida me robó at 9am.

Tuesday at 1pm, Telemundo begins a rerun of Bajo el mismo cielo at 1pm.

Well, we finally made it to February.

The only thing I’m watching on cable is 2-hour episodes of Hercai. I have to give this show props for reveals that raise more questions than they answer.

The funk continues.

Malverde ended Wednesday, pushing Hercai back to two hours a night until Pasión de Gavilanes 2 starts on 2/14.

I think they left the door open for a spinoff of Malverde, but if it never happens I’m sure not gonna mind.

It did leave me thinking I need to study Mexican history more, but the only thing harder lately than finding a show to really sink into is finding a book to read. Any recommendations?

Is it just me, or are we in a major telenovela rut? Or is it Covid blues?

If a look at the Proximas list has left you confused, it’s not you. Univision/Televisa and Netflix/Caracol really are producing dueling Vicente Fernandez bioseries.

Malverde’s in últimas semanas, finally.

Hercai is going back to 1 hour a day on Monday.

I’ll be giving Madre a watch over the weekend.

What are your viewing plans?

The blog’s birthday is tomorrow and I didn’t get it anything. Oops.

Another season of Exatlón starts Tuesday on Telemundo.

Madre takes over from La Desalmada on Tuesday as well.

Happy New Year! We can now begin accidentally writing “2021” for the next six months.

Merry Christmas if you celebrate and Happy Holidays in general. I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones have loaded up on vaccines for Covid, flu, pneumonia, and whatever other thing you definitely don’t want to catch from whoever you’re hanging out with. Fistbump of solidarity to everyone staying home for whatever reason.

I’ve made some updates to the comments section. Let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

Mi marido tiene familia is starting on Monday on UniMás afternoons.
