mun2 televisión Launches ‘Lugar Heights’.

mun2 television announced the release of its new, original and irreverent animated comedy Lugar Heights. The half-hour adult animated series reflects a unique mixture of Latino and pop culture experienced daily by the show’s six main characters. It is a Piragua Productions release and will air weekly, starting Saturday, October 18, at 10:30 PM.

“Lugar Heights is a caricature of the socio-cultural reality faced by young Latinos in the U.S. Combining satire, black humor and Spanglish in a new way, the series is directed toward an adult audience, and it stands out because of its carefree style, language and general subject matter,” said Yolanda Foster, Vice President of Programming, mun2

United by a solid (and sometimes dysfunctional) friendship, six completely different characters come to life in Lugar Heights -from Manos Méndez, a hyperactive Mexican boy who can make you jump out of your skin, to China López, a half-Colombian, half-Puerto Rican girl not to be messed around with. In short, according to the show’s creators, the characters have been influenced as much by Ozzy Osbourne and Kentucky Fried Chicken® as by Ozomatli and fried plantains.

Lugar Heights’ first episode makes fun of mass culture and two of its most representative manifestations today: soap operas and rap. The characters find themselves literally trapped in their television, and desperately try to run away from a shocking, nightmarish world, which they enjoyed only as distant television viewers.
