Sábado Gigante is Ending and We’re Worried for Our Moms
Goodbye, Don Francisco. After more than five decades on the air, Sábado Gigante is ending its run. No more Chacal, no more La Cuatro and no more “¡Fuera! ¡Fuera! ¡Fuera!” What will Latina moms do with their Saturday nights? Twitter is worried:

Better not tell my mother the Sabado Gigante news until I think she's ready. Like telling a kid there won't be Christmas anymore.
