ABC Family Developing US Version Of Mexican Drama ‘Terminales’

• I don’t know about this one. It seems a little too depressing for ABC Family’s target audience, but maybe this is them trying something new.

  • They’re trying to target the illegal/anchor baby demographic.

    • Proud to be a racist? What’s your opinion of African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, non-submissive women, gays and lesbians–as if we didn’t already know? And how big is your shrine to your idol Adolf Hitler?

  • Have you seen “Switched at Birth” or Secret life? ABC Family knows nothing else but depressing.

• “What if Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw was dying of cancer?”

  You should have just ended the article there.

• Hmm…so it will be either an ABC Family-version of the remarkably good ‘The Big C’ OR a TV-show version of the remarkably mediocre ‘A Little Bit of Heaven’. Either way, doesn’t sound good.

  No – should have ended article after saying this misbegotten concept is being helmed by Del Shores.

• I watch their network but will definitely pass on this one too. Am curious which exec team bought this one so I can bring projects to the other team.

• The producer’s first official call:

  “Hello, Max Factor? Fire up a vat of “Pallor #9.”

• Love the Big C, but this sounds like a huge downer. I guess its not being written with a sense of humor

• clearly none of you have seen the original Terminales series which is really good. All thou it has it sad/depressing moments but the whole series is not about sadness and cancer. I can only hope that they will do justice to the series and are able to translate the Mexican type of sarcastic humor that made the series not all bleak and sad…. but actually entreating to watch
