Como dice el dicho (translation: As the saying goes)[1] is a Mexican anthology drama series produced by Genovena Martínez for Televisa. The series premiered on February 1, 2011 on Las Estrellas, and is currently airing its eighth season.[2]
The series covers many stories where a proverb (usually of Mexican origin) is selected for each episode and applied to real-life situations such as family violence, economic crisis, personal growth, the dignity of women, homosexuality, and drug addiction, among others.[3]
Plot
The series is set in modern Mexico City, mostly at a café named "El Dicho Cafe" owned by Don Tomás, where he is helped by his granddaughter Isabel and his employees.[4] Episodes usually center around the customers who, most of the time, are dealing with a problem.[4] Throughout the episode a proverb is written in one of the white walls of the café, either by Don Tomás, one of his employees, or by a customer.[5] The saying that is written usually describes the situation of what is happening in the particular moment it is written.[5]
Production
Filming
Unlike many Televisa productions, Como dice el dicho is filmed on location in various parts of Mexico City. Six episodes are shot per week; two episodes are filmed simultaneously.[6] The coffee shop scenes in Season 1 and the first episodes of Season 2 were filmed in the colonia Condesa in the borough of Cuauhtémoc.[7] Since Season 2 coffee shop scenes have been filmed in the colonia Anzures in the borough of Miguel Hidalgo.[8][9] The crew usually films at the coffee shop once or twice a week.[6] The first two episodes of the fourth season were filmed in Zacatlán, Puebla, which was the first time the series filmed episodes outside of Mexico City.[10] The first two episodes of the fifth season were filmed in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution.[11]
Music
The series' original theme song is called "Como dice el dicho". It is performed by Mexican singer Mané de la Parra in Seasons 1 and 3.[12] The same theme song is used for Season 2 but is performed by singer Jass Reyes. For season 4 a new song performed by Marco Di Mauro was used as the show's theme; this song is also called "Como dice el dicho".[13] For seasons 5 and 6 the original theme song returned and was performed by Mané de la Parra and Margarita Vargas.[14] For season 7, the song is performed by de la Parra and by Mexican band La Original Banda El Limón.[15]. In season 8 the song is performed by de la Parra and Mario Bautista.
