Abstract: This article analyzes two TV series that achieved their peak viewership in the last third of the 20th Century on RTVE, the Spanish public broadcaster, which drew from the literary and theatrical traditions of the Golden Age: Elpicaro and Juncal. Regarding the analysis of Elpicaro and Juncal, attention will be paid to the linguistic aspects, including various forms of discourse such as monologues, dialogues, etc. The article will also address the translinguistic area, where verbal language is complemented in TV series by images to express gestural, facial expressions, body posture, proxemic, kinesic elements, and therefore achieve the integration of materials. The concept of televisuality designates a system of business conditions, styles, ideologies, cultural values, modes of production, programming and audience practices that make up television as a medium within a specific historical and geographical context (Caldwell, 1993: 26).
