' (Spanish for ''31 minutes'') is a Chilean television show which takes the form of a mock news broadcast, and is fronted by puppets who present various items. The program was devised by Álvaro Díaz and Pedro Peirano and is produced by their own company, APLAPLAC. It was first aired in March 2003 on the TVN channel in Chile. ''31 minutos'' has achieved considerable success in Chilean television, captivating adult viewers as well as children. The sarcastic and carefree humor along with the producers' reputation in Chile of being the essential part of the extinct cult show ''Plan Z'' (aired about a decade before) earned the series immediate acceptance among the public (specially among Plan Z's wide and loyal fan base) and helped boost its popularity, being considered a spiritual successor of sorts of that earlier show. When the first season had its debut, it occupied the morning time slot on Saturdays. But its orientation toward children was somewhat questioned because of the enthusiastic response from adult audiences; therefore the second season was moved to the time slot after the night time news at 10:00 pm on Fridays. Its almost explosive commercial success is reflected in the range and quantity of products spawned by the show, including an audio CD with the songs from its first season. In 2004, Nickelodeon started airing the first season across Latin America, being particularly popular in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, and a second CD was released with music from the second season. In 2005, a third album was released, with the third season's music and some extras. Part of the show's success with more adult audiences is due to its use of double entendres and parody. The puppets are ironic imitations of famous television personalities and there are many references to incidents or television events which characterized Chile in the 1980s and 90s. A movie version entitled ''31 minutos, la película'', that was shot in Santiago and Rio de Janeiro, premiered in Chilean theatres on March 27, 2008. On October 2, 2014 the first episode of the fourth season was aired on TVN (Chile), 8 years after their last episode featuring not only the same characters from the previous seasons, but also a 1080p HD image format. 12 episodes were part of this season which was mainly focused on the kids that grew up with the series, but still has the educative point for the newer generations. The sections like the "Green Note" by Juan Carlos Bodoque and the "TOP ranking" by Policarpo Avendaño are being kept on each episode, and included are new sections such as Patana's reality show "Patana's Fridge". == Characters == Many of the characters of the show are parodying (or are just inspired after) Chilean TV personalities or famous local journalists, especially those associated with the mainstream Chilean press, hence the 'news program' premise of the show. * Tulio Triviño (leader, parody of Bernardo de la Maza) * Juan Carlos Bodoque (journalist, probably a parody of both Rafael Cavada and Santiago Pavlović) * Juanín Juan Harry (producer) * Policarpo Avendaño (entertainment commentator, parody of Italo Passalacqua) * Patricia Ana ''Patana'' Tufillo (Tulio's niece; Reporter) * Mario Hugo (reporter) * Guaripolo (the ambiguously self-proclaimed "31 minutos's children's favourite character") * Mico el Micófono (reporter) * Huachimingo (reporter) * Balón von Bola (sports commentator, parody of Sergio Livingstone and Julio Martínez) * Raúl Guantecillo (sports commentator, parody of Pedro Carcuro) * Tenison Salinas (sports reporter) * Dante Torobolino (explosive magician, parody of ''El Mago Oli'', Gerardo Parra) * Jackson Aceituno (war correspondent, parody of Amaro Gómez-Pablos) * Calcetín con Rombos Man (Argyle Sock Man, superhero, parody of Gekko Kamen) * Eusebio Manguera (owner of the channel) * Cossimo Gianni (image consultant, parody of Jordi Castell) * Tío Pelado (fraudster) * Bongo Stingo (journalist, parody of Carlos Pinto) * Tío Horacio (elderly children's entertainer, parody of ''El Tío Memo'', Domingo Sandoval) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「31 Minutos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
