I am sorry I didn't saw this program before. The first time I saw it I was so amazed and excited I couldn't believe it. I found it very funny and sharp, full of disrespect and innuendo, making mock of everything and everyone! Nobody is safe... I highly recommend it. Horacio has said that he admires Saturday Night Live, and wanted to have something in that line, but for Mexico's standards, this is way too good. I wish someday someone in Telehit would launch the DVD collection. I would like to see how everything started, with comments from the cast. I also recommend the other Villalobos' program "Valvula de Escape" where he talks about show business, sex, movies, fashion, in his very personal style...

No Longer Being Produced

This was a great show with really funny skits. I enjoyed all of them and had my favorites. I really enjoyed Maniguis a queen who's over the top but yet claims it doesn't show. That his blonde hair is natural but then states it's a chamomile rinse. There's Las Chicas Vip's who are dead on to some people in that social class setting which reminded me of some prep classmates I had. Very hilarious since it mimics them to a tee. Friendships based on social standing and indirect insults and moronic and banal conversations. The Eccestical Chat is very funny with the parody of a high ranking bishop (corrupt both Financially & Morally) and a church lady who's name is a double meaning. Mama Mela which if you say it sounds like you're saying Blow Me. She's a total drunk which in one skit said she had to do some lines of coke to bring down her buzz in order to sober up enough to drive home since she has no chauffeur. This when the Bishop was trying to do a anti-drug promo. Horacio Villalobos who created the show had a financial disagreement with Televisa and ended up leaving Telehit and taking the show with him. Televisa didn't want to pay any of the production people or the actors. The reason was that they gave them free advertising for the cabaret version of the show they did live at clubs. It's a pity since I had looked forward to watching the show on Thursdays.

I love this show, even its independent, it's so funny and so good.

This doesn't have so much money, it's creative and critical. They make a social critic to Mexico. The best of all might be the characters. "La Maniguis" is a queer guy, "La Tesorito" a retired singer and "La Supermana" which is also funny.

And the sketches make critic of the social and political Mexico. Well this program i'ts very good. And don't forget see Desde Gayola and going to the show. Thanks Horacio :p
