¿Qué pasa, U.S.A.?

Que Pasa USA one of the best shows I've ever seen. This show has been my favorite show since i was 7. I started to watched this show since i was like 6 or 7. No other show compares to this show. If they only put this show back on air man thats the best thing television people could do. If they were to put this show back on air i would watch it every day. I can only wish this show can come back on it would be the best thing that ever happened in my life. Another reason why i would like the show to come back is because of the cast. They were one of the best cast i have ever seen in television man. I think all of the cast from Que Pasa USA should come back and do one show for the old times. In conclusion i would like to add that if you guys would come back on air i would be so thank full with who ever would be responsible for putting you guys back on air. oh yeah don't forget I'm your guys number one fan

Actually, this show was intended to help newly-arrived Cubans learn how to speak English. The show was in Englsih and Spanish musch like Cuban-American households. The children on the show spoke mostly English and the parents mostly Spanish. The older characters spoke as much Enmglish as they could and _wanted_ to learn English, but as we all know it is easier to learn a language when you are younger than when you are older. The fun of the show was in the way the older characters tried to deal with the younger characters in a new land and everyone's attempts at becoming American while remaining Cuban.

I have to tell you that growing up in Miami when this show was new was kind of freaky as elements of character and certain episodes could have been plucked right out of my life or the life of those around me. Even being Puerto Rican (not Cuban), I felt such a kinship with the Peñas, I felt Cuban by osmosis. If it wasn't the drama of the kids' identity crisis of being American and Hispanic at the same time, it was the insane drama Papa Peña went through when they thought Joe might be gay mirrored my own coming out trauma. Still one of my favorite shows, holding its own alongside some all-time classics, despite its miniscule budget and supposedly limited appeal. I've turned on many a non-Spanish speaker onto the bilingual show and hope that more people outside of South Florida will learn about this show and it's surprisingly universal message.

This show was great, I watched the show only a few years ago, but I really enjoyed it! The grandparents were hilarious, especially Adela and her friends. Joe and Carmen were also hysterical, this show deserves 10 stars. Steven Bauer was SO young in this show but he's still gorgeous. lol Adela also had this very funny friend but I forgot her name......Carmen has a friend named Violeta that was funny too. I loved the show where they were at a funeral and Joe was picking up chicks. lol Overall it was a funny show, I wish I had began to watch it sooner. I hope they put it back on TV again.

I do not speak Spanish but I enjoyed watching this show about a close knit family living in Miami. The great thing, for me at least, is that half the language spoken here was English and Half Spanish. This meant a wider viewing audience, but it also was a lesson in learning. The young latin kids (who were born in America) who wanted to speak English. Their Parents had to speak both languages and their elders who only knew (and wanted to only speak) Spanish. Just by watching (with your eyes) and listening (with your head), you could understand what was going on, even if you could not understand what was being said.

The storylines were interesting and funny. The whole cast was great, especially the one who played the Grandmother! I was happy to see that Steven Bauer made it big time. I wish I could see these shows again. I use to watch them on the Public Television station from Orlando, back in the '70's. If TV could be as good as this now a days!
