The Peñas

There was never a show like before and there's never been a show like it since.

Que pasa, USA?

Our good friends at Generation ñ are hosting their first episode of that great show starting today.

Episode #9

Carmencita and her computer friend.

For those of you that grew up here duirng those days, it will bring very fond memories. For those who arrived after its run, it will give you an idea of what the typical exile home was like back then. For our non-Cuban friends, it will give you a glimpse into our souls.

And certainly, good laughs for all.

Enjoy.

One of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

One of my favorite momnents is the episode where Joe gives the TV interview to Spencer "Tracy" Sanchez. When Joe gives the first interview, at the school, and all his friends are around him, he says how the Cuban parents out down the US sometimes. There is a guy in the background who moves up and screams "La moral de este pais esta por el suelo!!" You can buy the whole series from PBS, my mom sent it to me here in Brazil.
