Brazilian television consists of seven main open networks; ([[Creator/TVGlobo Globo]], [=RecordTV=], Band, Cultura, SBT, [=RedeTV!=], Gazeta) one state-run public channel (TV Brasil) and many minor networks, cable TV is also available, for a fee, and lots of people pirate it. The most popular shows are daily {{telenovela}}s[[note]]''not'' {{soap opera}}s as many English-speaking Brazilians tend to translate; they don't quite have the same format[[/note]], news, variety shows (run non-stop at weekends, and very frequent in weekday afternoons), (previously) UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball (soccer) matches (twice a week at least, on Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon), [[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]] clones (which have become less common over the years), and the occasional reality show. Popular presenters will often get two, three or four-hour weekly shows. Weekly serials in the popular American format are rare. [[{{Animation}} Cartoons]] are seen as kid stuff, but were frequently aired in the mornings (sometimes being dubbed {{anime}}); by-and-large they had been phased out of open TV channels' programming, with only one channel, SBT (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão[[note]]Brazilian Television System[[/note]]), still broadcasting them with relative regularity.

Brazilian literature and cinema is practically devoid of the fantasy genre, and is mostly composed of dramas and comedies centered on one of Brazil's major cities (UsefulNotes/SaoPaulo, UsefulNotes/RioDeJaneiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador). MagicalRealism is common, and very popular in the local telenovelas. Also popular in telenovelas are stereotyped versions of foreign countries for some extra exoticism in the plot. This has began to change as Globo made fantasy-themed telenovelas that [[FollowTheLeader follow popular series]] such as ''Series/GameOfThrones'', while Evangelist-controlled network [=RecordTV=] has produced big-budget Biblical-themed shows to rival them.
