31 Minutos

 

A show that was important for me in my childhood was 31 Minutos, a Chilean puppet show that premiered in the 2000's. I remember watching it on Nickelodeon, I used to stop everything I was doing to watch it, I downloaded the songs and listened to them in my dad's car.

The theme of the show is that they are in a news program, where all the puppets work at. We have the main character: Tulio Triviño, who is the main host, he is very stupid and gullible, is the one who has more money, and is always screwing everything up, then we have Juan Carlos Bodoque, he is my favorite character, he is very sarcastic, loves gambling and he introduces the section "La Nota Verde" when he teaches about the planet and how we should take care of it; Juanin, he is the producer of the show and coordinates everything about it, he was unique in his species and was found by Tulio ans d Bodoque when they were kids; Patana who is Tulio's nephew and want to become a great reporter; Mario Hugo, a reporter who has tons of dogs and is hopelessly in love with Patana, and many others like Guachimingo, Calcetín con Rombos Man, Policarpo and Guaripolo.

The music of its show is great, especially on the Ranking Top of Policarpo, it is inspired by different genres of music. They have collaborated with a lot of musicians like Chancho en Piedra, Los Bunkers, Belanova, and many more. I'm glad to see that the show is still popular on the internet, I always see clips of the show on TikTok or YouTube, and also a lot of memes. One thing I really like about this show is that it doesn't treat the kids of his audience like stupid children who get entertained with stupid jokes, no, they treat the children for what they really are, adults in progress, they know that kids are smart, and they can understand complex subjects, and that's something that a lot of kids shows should have in consideration, shows like 31 Minutos and Bluey are great examples of this.

Thanks for reading my blog, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goos night.
