defending the indefense
albers-230 May 2007
Manolo y Benito Corporeision hasn't been a success at all. That's obvious.

To a foreigner, even for people who speak fluent Spanish, this series will look bizarre and senseless.

But those producers you talked about before DO know who their targeting audience is: Spanish people, and among them, the 3/4 million people who used to watch in 2000 "Manos a la obra", the "prequel", which was, undoubtedly, one of the greatest achievements of the channel, Antena 3, by that time.

The problem is that the previous scriptwriter, Escrivá, died years ago. He was the only one who knew how to make fun of the Spanish cliché of the lazy worker and created new characters with stupid situations which were not important, neither were their jokes... their success consisted in being tuned with part of the audience.

Those ingredients got every thursday 30% of share.

This sencond part of the series hasn't been so good, even those who enjoyed the first part can recognize it. But...

I'd like to know which kind of computer technician's humor or more standard TV series like "friends" is objectively better and why.

-"Do you like "Friends"? - Oh my god! - as Janice would say - I love 'em!!

*Comments: This conversation may have been repeated along the globe billions of times. It's so boring to share such a common thing... "Are you from planet Earth? Are you kiddng me? What the hell! ME TOO!!! - you might be my better half...¿? In comparison to me, for example, I love it when 5 people out of 7 hate what Iike (Manolo y Benito) and then I can laugh with the rest of them with a strange and unexplicable complicity.

Manolo y Benito....as "Janice" ("Friends" TV-Series Character)would say...OH MY GOD!!!!!!.

Only people who watch Spanish TV would get the chance to see this (HORRIBLE-NONSENSE)TV series. AFTER I SAW THIS TV-SERIES I KEPT WONDERING IF, BY ANY CHANCE, THERE IS SOMETHING STRONGER THAN "PROZAC". FORTUNATELY NOW YOU ARE WARNED!!! Don't WATCH THIS TV-SERIES,,,,ITS JUS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!! People sometimes ask why others spend time writing about dreadful series or movies. Well, i have hope in Spanish Television, specially on new series and would be very VERY grateful if i got the chance to see a good TV-series,so really this is just a comment so that, if by any chance, Spanish TV-series producers get to know part of the audience opinion they would do something about it.

Man OH man...as i said before...¡¡LO PEOR DE LA TELEVISIÓN JAMÁS VISTO!!The characters are both boring and stupid indeed, nothing makes sense,,,the jokes are WELL I WONDER IF THEY CAN BE CALLED JOKES..the script...man..a 6-year old boy could write a script like that one (6-year-old and i'm being generous here!!!) EXAMPLE: Benito: mum...i did not know that we had so many PINK CLOTHES...Benitos Mum: "Benito don't you know there is a difference when it comes to cleaning white and color clothes".

And that example over there is like..."maximum laugh time". As i said before...don't watch this...you may kill yourself or someone next to you because of the depression you are bound to have after 10 minutes of this S***!!!
