Neither the collaborators of Save me could not aspire to more nor could public television aspire to less. The inaugural show of The TV family, with a gymkhana and a parade through the TVE studios, was so crazy it made you want to tear your eyes out. The farce had two stages. In the first part, during the afternoon, the main characters were put to the test. Some of the cast expelled from Telecinco – Belén Esteban, María Patiño, Lidia Lozano, Kiko Matamoros and Víctor Sandoval – starred in an initial parody of the Wizard of Oz. Disguised as characters from the novel, they began an aberrant journey. If Dorothy and her friends had to find the Emerald City by following the yellow bricks, here the Esteban-Patiño duo and company had to reach the lollipop From Torrespaña. A preliminary with the most genuine seal of the deceased Save me which would lead to a live obstacle course. Once they reached their destination, the program's crew, agitated and out of control, began a twenty-five-kilometer race to reach the Prado del Rey studios. The television chaos was absolute: the collaborators attacked private cars and network employees to take them to their destination. The sound failed, no one could hear anyone, the screams saturated the channel, and the cameramen couldn't keep up. The image went crazy. The only common thread was the delirious extravagance. show grotesque that Paloma del Río, the veteran sports journalist from TVE, and actress Cayetana Guillén Cuervo had to narrate. Once the competition was over, and with the protagonists in Prado del Rey, there was a respite from the horror. Channel 1 gave way to the two afternoon series, Wild Valley and The promise, because The TV family will act as a container for the two soap operas. Once the fiction ended, we returned to an unbridled reality. The second part began: an exorbitant and excessive parade of collaborators. A troupe of vans, trucks, buses, and carriages carrying the surprises. The narrative excuse was the history of the network itself. They paraded some of the collaborators and guests in historical costumes of the presenters. It had a symbolic character. Reappropriating the television identity was a way to justify that aberrant madness in that context. A tribute as a cover for an unthinkable conquest. From the programs of varieties José Luis Moreno, public television had not sunk so low. Flamenco processions to celebrate the presence of Isabel Pantoja's daughter, Lídia Lozano, adorned it with a version of her chuminero dance And, to top it all off, a choreography to the rhythm of Zumba, reminiscent of a Brazilian carnival. A low-level vulgarity with giants and big heads as filler. Amidst the frenetic spectacle, clips were introduced announcing future content and sections. The TV family It has begun with an upheaval that clearly affects the foundations of public service. We inaugurate the era of everything by the audience. The reanimation of a monster with taxpayers' money.

Televisión Española (TVE) wants to win the battle for afternoon viewership, and that's why it's going all out. The public broadcaster has signed a large part of the team from the now-defunct Save me from Telecinco, which later led to the program Even if we were from Ten, for a new space called The TV family which premieres this Monday after being postponed last week due to the death of Pope Francis. The magazine show will be hosted by María Patiño, Aitor Albizua, and Inés Hernand and will air in two time slots: from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. and from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. In between, TVE will broadcast two series: Wild Valley and The Promise. In addition to the broadcast on La 1, the digital platform RTVE Play will bring together parallel content that will complement the program.
