The last broadcast of The TV family was as pathetic as the first. This brings to a close one of the most painful and grotesque episodes of Spanish public television. Its protagonists took it with a sense of humor, as had already happened with the rampoines of Save me when they were fired from Telecinco. They turned the dismissal into a journey to the afterlife: "Some of its members go on a journey towards immortality", they assured. And they announced sarcastically that they were leaving with a ritual never seen on television. "We go to the Egyptian style, one of the ancient civilizations, the basis of culture and knowledge". To the set they added some enormous papier-mâché sarcophagi and appealed to the protection of the gods and to a new death in order to be reborn. But the most vulgar set on television, which cost approximately 365,000 euros, has only been the temple of bad taste. And ignorance, mismanagement, mismanagement, mismanagement, mismanagement invoked. It has been the tomb of the vocation of service
The program was a rehash of the most painful moments with some of its collaborators. of choosing the topics or finding the dynamics. The lack of coordination has been absolute from the inauguration to the last day. The Wizard of Oz, attributed the television disaster to the yellow color of the cobblestones and the curse that weighed on the film, many of whose members ended up dying strangely. María Patiño compared the program to an expired yogurt, which can still be eaten past the expiration date. But The TV family It was already causing stomach flutters before it even blossomed. Because the recipe used spoiled ingredients.
Each program has cost an average of 75,000 euros. And it has meant a total cost for public television of more than five and a half million euros, according to some media reports. A shame covered up by the PSOE crisis, because they had more serious scandals to deal with.
The TV family It's not, however, the only bad apple in the basket. It's the spearhead of a decadent programming schedule that has degraded the medium in just a few months. A lineup that has prioritized vulgar entertainment, reduced news coverage, and turned current events into a spectacle. The program ends, but the ideologues of this nonsense, with no conscience for public service, remain inside.
The TV family It ended with María Patiño, Víctor Sandoval and Kiko Matamoros inside the sarcophagi, in a funeral procession through Prado del Rey with Belén Esteban and Lídia Lozano accompanying the mourners.
