Personally, I liked this series and watched it for a little while, but also found it a little too basic for what I was looking for. It started teaching the Spanish number system so I fast-forwarded a little bit.

The following list is the top 5 Spanish created TV shows. Naturally, these were produced with the Spanish audience in mind. They were not specifically created for Spanish language learners like the 2 others listed above.
