"Merry-Go-round": Popular Mexican [[Soap Opera]] airing during 1989-1990. Revolved around a teacher and her 2nd grade class. Remake of the Argentinian soap opera ''Senorita Maestra'' (Miss Teacher.)
{{Needs More Info}}
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Not inside the soap opera per se. But Carrusel is an remake of Senorita Maestra. The teacher in Senorita Maestra was named Jacinta Pichimahuida (very unusual surname), while the teacher in Carrusel is named Ximena Fernandez (very common surname).
** In-universe: The Guerra siblings are named Pablo (common name) and Marcelina (unusual name, though not tremendously so).
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]: Subverted by Maria Joaquina and Jorge, whose trouble making friends has nothing to do with IQ or grades, and mainly to do with snobbery. That, and Daniel always held the top spot in the class.
** Averted by Daniel and every other good student, since they were far friendlier.
* [[Jerk
* [[Kick the Dog]]: When the kids treat poor Susana like crap for ''daring'' to replace Ximena when she's hospitalized. Fermin promptly calls them out on their bullshit and they soften up to her.
** Maria Joaquina, in the beginning, when she tears apart the birthday card Cirilo gave her.
Line 73 ⟶ 74:
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Jorge del Salto. Possibly Maria Joaquina, since her wealthy parents are nice and reasonable and do not spoil her, but she acts snobbish at times.
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: David Robinovitch is wealthy, yet is very kind and respectful. He never brags about his family's money like Jorge and Maria Joaquina do.
* [[
* [[The Other Darrin]]: When the actor who played Fermin was no longer available, he was replaced by another one who was and looked 10 years younger. Also, the actress who played Maria Joaquina's mother was replaced- with a much more likable one.
* [[Token Minority]]: Cirilo is Black, David is Ashkenazi Jewish, Kokimoto is Japanese, Bibi is North American of English ancestry.
Line 87 ⟶ 88:
* [[Two-Teacher School]]: Averted. Ximena only teaches 2nd grade, Rene only teaches music, Susana only teaches her assigned grade except when she has to cover for Ximena. There is also an art teacher. And another teacher named Gloria. And of course, the principal, Sra. Orraca. And Fermin may count.
* [[Tsundere]]: Valeria was this to David sometimes. Maria Joaquina became one when she defrosted.
* [[What Happened to
* [[Wicked Stepmother]]: Mario's stepmother was like this at the beginning.
