TV: The longest-running variety show on TV, Sabado Gigante, is ending after a 53-year run! Cuco: Uh, that show with the sexist skits and scantily clad girls wasn't the most politically correct program. Sabado is like that immigrant uncle you love but you just don't discuss feminism, civil rights or race with.

Tradition has its place, but after a while not adapting to the times leaves a show behind.

You cannot argue with numbers. Sabado Gigante is Univision’s longest running show, and was very successful. To complain about the skits and pretty girls is just more PC crap. This show is dying due to lack of ratings, not PC idiots complaining to the network. The audience just has more choices and their tastes has evolved.

The majority of the folks where I work are Hispanic, so they watch Spanish TV in the break room. I’ve developed a considerable interest in the scantily clad women aspect of their programming.

53 years must be some kind of record. Ahh, That was implied, I feel silly.

At least there is a lot of agreement about the scantily clad women. Hint to Lalo.
