I missed the first 5 of the series at present showing on the French Pacific satellite network.Am up to number 101 and looking forward to the finish in around 120. Some scenes were included to make the series to reach the 120 . The main problem I have with Frijolito X 45 minute X 5 day per week is that it seems that it is sent to Tahiti from France and every day the last 4 to 8 minutes is chopped off. In 2010, one would think that this type of annoyance could be omitted. All in all though I love this series and will look forward when the whole can be bought as a boxed DVD to be watched without interruptions.
