Dominican Drama. A reflection of Latin Television or vice versa?
One early morning in Charimicos (around 4 am) I walked up on a small crowd in the street, two guys were facing off arguing and each had a machete. I didn't stick around but did look for blood the next morning. No blood. The machete slapping makes sense now.
Seeing that this thread is mostly about TV watched in the RD I'll add my twopenneth. Nearly all the women of child bearing age have their hair parted almost at the top of their heads, it is either shoulder or boob length, they wear make-up at least a yard thick, their lipstick is nearly always bright red, knowing the origin of lipstick do they really believe that their nether lips are ever that bright red when turned on? They look as if they had just escaped from a local circus. They never wash or clean their faces before going to bed. Their pillow cases must filthy, I note the camera never shows.
As for humour, take Miguel y Raimond for example. Their humour seems to consist of making distorted faces, wearing lopsided wigs, hiding behind the sofa and talking with "funny" voices. I haven't seen that kind of thing since I was at the circus 70 years ago.
Having got that off my chest there used to be a bloke who read the news on a show around midday Geraldo Something, he I admired and liked, he didn't gabble as if he had to get through 10 minutes news in 3 minutes and he articulated clearly.

people presenting news and shows in DR are so incompetent it makes you wonder how the hell they got their jobs. it cannot be they all sucked the dick to get themselves those hot positions because who on earth would trust their peen to venya carolina? she'll chomp it off, cook and then eat with habichuelas negras and some nice vinto tinto.
the newsreaders pronunciation can be only explained by the fact they hold a testicle in their mouth. they mumble and cannot produce a single clear sentence, every name is mispronounced, including some dominican ones. the suits on men are badly fitted and all women wear dresses from putaoutfits.com with makeup applied with a shovel. their weaves of cheap chinese plastic threads are so poorly attached and of such bad quality they may be jumping around and shaking the head and the hair stays unmovable, like an overgrown, blonde helmet.
i catch glimpses of this circus whenever i visit in laws, who always but ALWAYS have their tv on. i used to think it may be the tv itself at fault but they have this fancy shmancy huge sony thing. no, it's the quality of the recording. what the hell do they use in DR, second hand video cameras previously used to film weddings? the picture is distorted, colours are poor, the quality appalling.

dominican tv commercials is another product of a dim brain eaten by syphilis and years of consuming vitamina bruta. again, the same shabby hand held cameras with production skills of redneck wedding video editors. really? there are no smart and knowledgeable people here who can script, direct and produce something else than latinolovers.com introductory clips? truly tragic.
there is a reason why we quit the cable 7 or 8 months ago and that i have not seen any tv show ever since. my patience is already wearing thin at the creases, i could not bear any more.
as for american tv show, i agree some of them were good at the beginning but then they got f**ked up by greed. they are no different than telenovelas after passing 3rd season. whenever a show proved successful the producers want to milk it all the way to the bone, then crash this bone, suck it up dry and spit the rest in the faces of the general public. murica produced the best tv show ever, "the x files". and it rocked, neatly playing the concept of a case per episode with some mysterious background motives. but then we were introduced to the aliens walking the eatrth, conspiracy theories, the smoking man, the case of an abducted sister and the load of other crap that made the show unwatchable. seriously, there was nothing wrong with riding the same basic concept. there is no need to add any more drama. "house md" was only watchable for 3 seasons, the rest was just pure symphony of greed of the producers.
that reminds me when i was a child and i would discover a new writer, read everything published and then regret so much he/she died and did not write anything more. now i appreciate brevity. i appreciate uniqueness. limited editions of ideas. but today's public is like a spoiled child i once was: they always want more. they cannot be satiated. they have no concept of being left with blank patches to be filled with own imaginations. they probably have zero imagination to start from...

MANY years ago, I stopped responding to,or paying attention to, the "DRAMA", not only from my wife, but from ALL DOMINICANS.
It works quite well!
When they have no "Audience", or other "Actors", the "Novela Mentality" goes away.
This is not an "Over Night" strategy, but, over time, they loose interest.
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Now if I could just figure a way to keep them from having 3 tins of tomato paste, "Chewed Open" at the same time??????
ps, you can substitute any commodity you like,for "Tomato Paste",

Could be worse.
You could be living with Dominicans in Australia and find three jars of vegemite open...

People still eat vegemite? I've had it once, once!
You forgot The Walking Dead. Right up there with Sopranos and Dexter.
..and, hey, Big Brother is good TV!
..and, how can you not love Duck Dynasty?!?! Those guys are friggen hillbilly savants!
i only watch one show: top gear. we download it as soon as it comes out at watch at lunchtime. there is a new season out, i think one or two episodes left.
when we still had tv i used to watch, occasionally, other bbc productions: waking the dead, wallander and doctor who. brits know how to make good tv. they throw in great quality, fantastic editing, immaculate camera work and great script. add good actors and limited number of episodes and you get yourself a classic.
