Will NBC be 'Sin Tetas'?

Tags:

It seemed like such a provocative idea at the time: Not long after producer Ben Silverman was named cochairman of NBC Entertainment, he announced that he was developing the popular Colombian telenovela Sin Tetas No Hay Paraíso (Without T— There Is No Paradise) for primetime. Now, it appears that idea is on hold, maybe permanently. Just this week, NBC’s sister net Telemundo premiered the weekly serial Sin Senos No Hay Paraíso (Without Breasts There is No Paradise; they cleaned up the reference to mammary glands). The new drama, which is filmed in Mexico and Colombia, focuses on a gorgeous young woman named Catalina who makes a series of bad choices in an effort to escape her life of poverty. Could the answer be drug trafficking?

Oh, the possibilities lost for NBC! But have no fear, an NBC spokeswoman says that Sin Tetas remains in development for next season — or beyond.

    I am seeing the one from Telemundo … on it’s third night and already I am tired of it!! The idea that the girl is not happy because she can’t be a ‘call girl ‘ ( pre -pago ) because her breast are not HUGE … is stupid! Everytime a man is offer one of the girls they turn her down because ‘ her breast don’t carry enough meat ‘ … huh!

    I personally think that is necessary to show this novela in english. The novela could be an open discussion for parents and young women who do suffer self esteem issues, After all in the last few years the demand for plastic surgery have increse this is an issue that shoul be brought out.

    “Sin senos no hay paraiso” is good but not as good as the colombian or spaniard versions. I think the telemundo version is cheesy and poor acting. I read that somepeople do not like the plot of it, but you have to see that in parts of colombia is like that if not ask Gustavo Bolivar Moreno. Also in my opinion, girls with bigger boobs get their way more often than not.

    omggggggggggg i hope they do a english one! even though it will NEVER be better than sin senos on telemundo! its sooo good right now! and its almost over! :( :( :(

    For those of you that think this is an exaggeration it is not. It has nothing to with her being unhappy because she doesnt have big breasts, it has to do with poverty. These young women feel that this is their way out. “Narcos” give them money and help support them if they like what they see and so on. Maybe if you read the book and read how the author came to write this book you would better understand.
