Carrusel

Carrusel is one of the best TV shows for kids, and for sure the best Latin one! It is a funny, touching, educative Mexican telenovela which has kept me ,along with numerous other children, great company when we were younger(and it was on TV here in Greece).

It has nothing to do with todays kids shows that unfortunately have nothing to offer.

Carrusel entertained kids along with teaching them values and it's a pity it's not shown anymore.Every character was special and you couldn't help loving each and every one of them!(of course with exceptions!-to all Greek fans:do you remember Oraka , the headmistress that the kids called Koraka?)

Viva Carrusel!

Carrusel is timeless. The story of school children from various backgrounds, coming together and becoming friends. There's Cirilo, an African-Mexican, boy in love with Maria Joaquina, a selfcentered blond hair girl. David, a Jewish boy, in love with Valeria, Catholic girl. Carmen, a lonely girl, whose parents are breaking up, trying to keep her family together. Bibi, and American girl growing up in Mexico, trying to learn a different way of life. Jaime, the son of humble car mechanic, to big for his age. Jaime tries very hard to learn at school but is easily distructed. Miss Ximena, the teacher. She loves all the children and treats them as individuals.

I've seen Carrusel when it was broadcasted in Brazil, in 1991, I was 6 years old by that time and I really loved it. It was very touching the childrens' love for their teacher, and me and all my friends wanted a teacher like that. It was a soap opera that will be always remembered by the childrens who watched it.

I grew up on this novella. I wish I could buy the season. Or do they even still play it? I would love for my children to see it.

Carrusel is the history of a class in the Escuela Mundial school. The children of this class have many adventures and life troubles. Miss Jimena is the teacher that guides the class teaching good things. Some of the students are: Cirilo a poor black boy who's in love with Maria Joaquina a blond and rich girl. Maria Joaquina doesn't love Cirilo and she is a very cruel girl. Jaime Palillo is a big fat boy son of a good and poor parents and he is not too smart, but have a good hart. Pablo is a menace, he's always doing jokes. Jorge Del Salto is another rich boy with very bad behavior except with Maria Joaquina, he is evil.

Don Fermin is another character, he is the old and friendly assistant of the school.

The series was very good and with a lot of crying scenes.
