Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real Format Anthology series Country oforigin Mexico Production Running time 1 hour Broadcast Original channel (XEW-TV)Canal de Las Estrellas Original run October 1985–2007 November

Mujer, Casos de La Vida Realis a television show produced by Hispanic television giant Televisa. The show first aired after the Mexican earthquake of 1985 as a method to assist victims of the natural disaster. Though its execution was not exactly as conceived, Televisa continued the program after seeing the outpouring of response from the Mexican public. In its first few seasons, the show presented lighthearted themes, such as love stories and lost loves; during the 1980s, such topics as domestic violence had still not been accepted in Mexican society. In the 1990s, themes acquired a grittier look, including cases of rape, incest, child abuse, prostitution, homosexuality and domestic violence. The show became a stage for social reform in Mexico. With these changes, the show was usually first in line to discuss topics that were often kept out of the public eye.

Although Mujer underwent several metamorphoses in the first decade of the 21st century, and a spin-off show developed, the show stopped producing episodes in 2007, and in 2009 Silvia Pinal confirmed its cancellation.

Formats The original format of the show usually consisted of two cases per episode, though some one hour special cases were presented from time to time. At the beginning of each episode, Silvia Pinal would discuss the social aspect surrounding the case the audience was about to view. Afterward, she would return with comments on the featured characters as well as present her own personal view on what should be done to prevent such events from happening, or, in some cases, what should be done to allow them to happen. In other programs, an guest expert offered advice or interpretation.

By the mid 1990s, the show aired on Saturday nights on XEW-TV. In 2001, a weekday afternoon version was started, originally keeping the same style of cases as the Saturday version. The weekday format changed in May 2006 to a mini-series format. Instead of individual cases, various situations were presented in a continuous mini-series that ran throughout the weekdays (Monday–for one hour each Friday) day. This new format brought an end to the usually gritty and, at times, racy material and instead made way for more representation of the love stories and lost loves that characterized the show in its infancy (This was also partially due to being aired in a more family-oriented timeslot). Reaction to this new format was mixed. Some fans argued that it was not possible to understand the cases without watching every single episode, a problem for many viewers. Other fans argued that the mini-series format allowed for a more accurate representation of cases as opposed to the bare minimum used by the thirty-minute individual cases.
