Generally, <em>telenovela<\/em> fans only have access to gossip pieces on stars or news about forthcoming <em>telenovela<\/em> premieres or finales. A while back, I was fortunate enough to join <a href=\"http:\/\/www.todotnv.com\">Todotnv<\/a>, a website run by fans\/critics who wanted to fill this gap.<\/p>\n<p>At my personal blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/telenovelaphd.wordpress.com\">Telenovela PhD<\/a>, I keep an updated <a href=\"http:\/\/telenovelaphd.wordpress.com\/telenovela-reviews-in-spanish\/\">list<\/a> of links to all the reviews I have written on <em>telenovelas<\/em> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.todotnv.com\">Todotnv<\/a>. The reviews, which are all in Spanish, cover examples of the format from the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, or Venezuela; and from any time period from the 1970s to the present.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to go on write more &#8220;scholarly&#8221; reviews on <em>telenovelas<\/em> and Spanish-language television series for <em>Medi\u00e1tico<\/em> in the near future.
