Can you believe it's been 35 years since Carrusel first aired?! (35 years, 10 months, 5 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Carrusel end?
When Carrusel came to an end after 2 years in May 1990, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Master Jimena (Gabriela Rivero) and Maria Joaquina Villaseñor (Ludwika Paleta). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Carrusel reunion disappoint people?
Carrusel aired from 1989-1990 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Rivero said she's not sure if Carrusel would work today. “I don't want to see old Master Jimena,” she told a journalist (Rivero turned 60 in September). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Carrusel movie?
In a recent interview, Gabriela Rivero said she can't imagine a Carrusel reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Ludwika Paleta has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Carrusel movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
What about a Carrusel reboot?
Recasting Carrusel for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Carrusel reunion, a Carrusel movie, or a Carrusel reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
