Rede Globo

TV Globo is a Brazilian open commercial television network based in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is assisted by more than 200 million people daily, whether in Brazil or abroad. It is the second largest commercial television network in the world, behind only ABC, reaching 98.56% of the Brazilian territory, covering 5490 municipalities and about 99.55% of the total Brazilian population.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is currently the largest and biggest Brazilian network in Brazil, as the Brazilian counterpart to Disney's flagship TV network (as well as America's most iconic network), the ABC network, with a wide range of many programs that are very loved by the Brazilian public, such as journalistic programs (Jornal Nacional, Jornal Hoje, Globo Repórter, Linha Direta), sports programs (Globo Esporte, Esporte Espetacular), variety programs, children's programs (TV Globinho, TV Colosso, the Xuxa Meneghel programs, Angel Mix, Festival de Desenhos), comedy series (Sai de Baixo, Os Trapalhões, Casseta & Planeta, Urgente!, Zorra (pre-2011), A Grande Família (2001), Escolinha do Professor Raimundo), soap such as Ciranda de Pedra, Carinhoso, A Viagem (1994), Selva de Pedra, O Astro, Avenida Brasil, Mulheres de Areia and the list goes on.
 * 2) The current logo used since 1976 (sightly altered in 2008) looks very good.
 * 3) Their voice overs like Dirceu Rabelo (the channel's best-known voice over), Ricardo Juarez, Gutemberg Barros, Mabel Cezar, Mckeidy Lisita and others are very good.
 * 4) Unlike other Brazilian TV networks and its owners such as SBT and Silvio Santos, RecordTV and Edir Macedo and RedeTV! and Marcelo de Carvalho, TV Globo does not publicly support the controversial president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, mainly because of his controversies as president of Brazil and before becoming president of Brazil.
 * 5) Also unlike other Brazilian TV networks who make sensationalist gossip programs (like mh:terribletvshows:Triturando) and sensationalist journalistic programs (like the current Primeiro Impacto and the current Cidade Alerta), Globo does not do this kind of sensationalism in its journalistic programs and programs that speak about the world of celebrities.
 * 6) It is one of the few Brazilian open TV networks who has the decency not to sell hours to much-hated Brazilian churches like the Universal Church and the Mundial Church, where they instead show the religious program Santa Missa no Seu Lar on Sunday mornings, currently presented by the Priest Marcelo Rossi, despite its jump the shark monments since 2018.
 * 7) *This also applies to television slot machines and deceptive CallTVs, which fortunately Globo does not sell hours for these types of deceptive phone play TV programs.
 * 8) It was a good successor in some aspects of Rede Tupi and TV Excelsior, so much so that it was there where Walther Negrão, Teixeira Filho, Ivani Ribeiro and some of the network's authors went there before going to Globo, in addition to soap operas such as Mulheres de Areia and A Viagem and also many presenters and the list goes on.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The network is involved in a lot of controversies during its history, which is so hated by many people and is infamously called Globo Lixo because of that, with examples like:
 * 2) *They made a very big monopoly.
 * 3) *Manipulating broadcasts to ensure their favorite candidate, which was Fernando Collor to win the presidency.
 * 4) *The Papa Tudo scandal.
 * 5) *Trying to buy a documentary (Beyond Citizen Kane) that exposes many of its controversies to block it.
 * 6) *It took many of the styles that the extinct networks had, which is a pretty bland reason.
 * 7) *It is also infanically hated for the lies made by many, mainly conservatives like the infamous mh:terribletvshows:Canal Interessante who say that many famous people made a pact for fame, in which most of the time it is for reasons that are easily explained and the worst thing is that many believe, mainly religious fanatics.
 * 8) They also have some horrible shows, that some of them are on the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki.
 * 9) They have the habit of cutting scenes and shortening the openings and the final credits of films, series, animes and cartoons, which can be justified, since it's not to delay the network's programming.
 * 10) Some soap operas get remakes outside of Rede Globo, sometimes they are even horrible like the SBTist version of Os Ossos do Barão (depending on your point of view) and Uma Rosa Com Amor and the Record versions of "A Escrava Isaura" (depending on your point of view) and Dona Xepa, unfortunately, this happens because of the loss of rights to books and plays that inspired the novels or the original soap operas.
 * 11) *Many of the actors and actresses from Excelsior, Tupi, Manchete and SBT made few soap operas on the network, either for bad treatment and few roles that the actors and actresses of the network itself also suffer or for other reasons, although fortunately there were not many.
 * 12) Unfortunately, they didn't make many children's soap operas, even though almost all they made were good, but at least they didn't saturate, they didn't just make them and leave the adult plots discarded and they had many good authors and didn't use a family member as an author, which unfortunately SBT did.
