53 years. 53 flipping years.
That’s how long “Sábado Gigante” has been on the air. Today, Univision announced that the show will see its last day on September 19.
As you might imagine, this is the PERFECT Friday afternoon topic to ask our community about the news. Here is a sampling of what people are saying:
Thank God! (24 likes)
Say what you will, but to many Hispanics in the USA Sabado Gigante is a cultural institution. It does not appeal as much to second generation bilingual Hispanics, who quickly say and write in their perfect English “THANK GOD” and who have been more aculturated to North American culture and television. But SG certaintly appeals to first generation Hispanics and new immigrants from Latin America. Don Francisco is their Ed Sullivan, but gringofied Hispanics wouldn’t understand this, they don’t feel it, you know what I mean? (14 likes)
Sábado gigante no es ninguna institución cultural para nadie con un poquito de educación o cultura. El programa es horrible, con sus juegos, concursos, con Don Francisco tratando mal a la gente o burlándose de ellos, la forma como usan a la mujer como un objeto sexual. Lo siento pero me alegro que ese programa lo saquen del aire y espero que el espacio lo llenen con algo más cultural o educativo para todos (11 likes)

53 Years That’s A Long Time. I Liked It At First But Then It Got To Sexual.. Not A Family Show At All!!
End of a sexist show. Good riddance!
Say what you will… it was part of most of our childhood years because even if we weren’t into the silliness, our parents, abuelos, Tios and Tias were. And, for that I bid the show a bittersweet adios.
Television chatarra! The only reason people watch is because they force it down their throats by giving them 4 hous of NOTHING else to watch on Sabados! LOL it’s 1950’s style garbage.
The convo is still going on, so you can catch more here. By the way, this one is our fave so far: “I liked Johnny Canales better. Take it away.”
Don Franciscon no es su nombre..su nombre es Erick Kreuztburger..y no es latino …es Aleman…el “viejo verde” es Judio
I concur with the above statements………..good riddance
The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H. Graetz, History of the Jews).
And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false. Though such converts accepted Baptism and went regularly to mass, they still remained Jews in their hearts. They http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/jadwal.html were called Marrano, ‘http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/promo.html Accursed Ones,’ and there http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/panduan.html were perhaps a hundred thousand of them. Often they possessed enormous wealth. Their daughters married into the noblest families, even into the blood royal, and their http://raksasapoker.com/ sons sometimes entered the Church and rose to the highest offices. It is said that even one of the popes was of this Marrano stock.
