This program was a remake inspired by the Colombian telenovela, Yo soy Betty, la fea, created in 2001 by the Radio Cadena Nacional network. This is because no country’s broadcasters can meet the demand for television programming with their own original productions alone (Mikos, 2015).Ī prime example of an American translation of a foreign television program can be found in ABC Studios’ and Reveille Productions’ dramatic comedy, Ugly Betty, which aired in 2006. For example, US networks and premium cable channels look to create exclusive content and distinctive branding, and to assist in this, they reiterate foreign content for American audiences (Middlemost, 2019). ‘For some critics, quality is a marker of value, and suggests that these programs are better than others, while for others, it serves as a construction of either a class of targeted viewers (the quality audience) or a set of textual attributes of high production values, serious themes, and connect to other more culturally legitimated, prestigious media such as literature and cinema’ (Mittell, 2015, 211-212).įor either of these two interpretations (a marker of value or the quality audience), quality dramas and comedies have emerged in recent years because of an increasing tendency of networks producing content as demand increases. The term ‘quality television’ denotes an idea that there is a measure of value that separates some television programs from others.
