8.5The miniseries chronicles the history of Acre, the last region to be annexed into Brazilian territory. For many years, the state—formerly part of Bolivia—attracted people from Brazil's Northeast and from abroad who left their hometowns in search of a better life through latex extraction. The relentless pursuit of new extraction sites took a toll on the natural environment, which was increasingly exploited in a predatory manner, and brought poverty to the region. The miniseries depicts this entire process, spanning a century, through three central figures: Galvez, Plácido de Castro, and Chico Mendes.

8.0TV Pirata was a weekly Brazilian comedy show aired on Rede Globo between 1988 and 1990, being re-aired monthly in 1992. Some of the writers later went on to form the comedy troupe Casseta & Planeta. The show was first aired in April 1988 to fill a gap on Rede Globo's Tuesday night prime time line-up and its comedy was inspired by sketch comedy shows such as Saturday Night Live and Monty Python's Flying Circus with a no-nonsense approach to Brazilian comedy; however, it mixed a new style of comedy with elements of Brazilian culture such as football, politics, pop culture, telenovelas, economics and celebrities. No well-known figure or member of any economical or social class was spared from the show's cutting edge humor. The premise of the show was a TV studio being invaded by pirates who took over the programming department and put a tape on the air with some "unusual" programming. Another new element to Brazilian audiences was the performers, who weren't the usual comedic actors, but dramatic actors doing more comedic roles.
