Telenovelas...where can I get the series??

I was hoping Netflix would carry some Colombian TV series, but they don't. Any suggestions on which ones to buy and where I can find them in the states? I really want El Cartel de los sapos...is it released on DVD yet? What about Sin Tetas...?

Whould they be cheaper in Colombia? Maybe I should wait to get them there in December? Suggestions? Favorites (not necessarily colombian)??

Thanks!!

'El Cartel' is not a telenovela, it's a series. And I saw the complete DVD set at my local Colombian bakery.

El Cartel can be found on DVD, but can be rather expensive.

$69 on Amazon and that may even be pirated as it is from a third party seller.

I am not sure what they are in Colombia, but probably the only cheap way to get them would be pirated on the street.

I bought both in May in Medellin, Las Tetas en el Exito for $79.000COP, and El Cartel de los Sapos en el Hueco for like $30.000COP. Las Tetas is original, while El Cartel was (obviously) not. Both are good quality, and for the price, who can complain? The one I would love to get my hands on is CAFE!!!!!! Anyone have any ideas?

Betta La Fea, the original was actually pretty good.

Puerto Rico had a novella called La Otra, with a young Carlos Vives that was so bad it was funny.
