Sua Vida Me Pertence was the first in a tradition of telenovelas in Brazil. Broadcast by TV Tupi in São Paulo in black and white in 1951, it pioneered the genre worldwide, and featured Brazil's first on-screen kiss.

Second Brazilian TV show hosted by Coffin Joe. Produced by TV Tupi and directed by Antônio Abujamra, this TV show has a better production quality than the "Além, Muito além do Além" (1967-68) and a more dreamlike and surreal tone, but unfortunately not the same audience, which expect something more realist like the previous TV show. A lot of stories from this TV show was used later on the Coffin Joe's Horror Comic Books.
