Informe Semanal - hard hitting, informative TV programme on RTVE. I always fall back to watching this after trying
out all sorts of other stuff on Cuatro etc.

I find El Barco okay, but many young actors from the cast speak with a muffled accent (Móstoles accent?) and are difficult to understand. I wonder what happened to diction/accent coaches on Spanish Tv channels. Females and older people speak very clear though, with nice diction, comparable to newscasters on Canal 24 horas.

I liked the Antena3 comedy series "Aqui no hay quien viva".

I also liked "Aquí no hay quien viva", but I actually even prefer the spin-off/remake (I
don't quite no what to call it because I'd never seen such a thing happen before) "La que
se avecina". It makes me laugh more.
@ htdavidht: El Chavo del ocho would have to be my favourite program in Spanish (I know,
it's for kids, what can I say?) but I think the OP wanted programs from Spain.

It's funny that you pointed the Móstoles accent out. I thought all my hardwork learning Spanish was a waste of time when I couldn't even single out any words from this accent.
Boy you gave me a breath of fresh air!

Destino Espana is good. It
follows people from other countries who have moved to various parts of Spain. It's shot
in a very similar way to Espanoles en el Mundo. I often watch it to help me decide
where I would like to eventually live in Spain.
Buscamundos is a really good
travel show.
I have spoken to quite a few young Spanish people who seem to feel that there aren't
many good TV series in Spanish, and seem to watch dubbed versions of U.S and British
shows. I'm sure there must be a lot of good stuff out there though.
