Nuevo Rico Nuevo Pobre

Nuevo Rico Nuevo Pobre is a Colombian comedy series produced and aired by Caracol TV that premiered on July 16, 2007. The show features Martín Karpan, Jhon Álex Toro, Carolina Acevedo, Andrés Toro and María Cecilia Botero among a large ensemble. It was made for mainstream prime time, and Caracol sold broadcasting rights beyond Colombia, allowing other networks to air it. By May 2008 it had become one of the country's top-rated programs. The listing of dual character names for the lead actors hints at swapped or doubled roles, while the overall tone stays comedic and centered on family and social situations.

Released in mid-2007, the series was produced and broadcast by Caracol TV and began its run on July 16, 2007. It was also picked up by Ecuador's Teleamazonas and had distribution deals with Telemundo and Fox.

The show didn't collect major international awards like Emmys or Golden Globes, at least not in widely reported coverage. Its recognition arrived mainly through audience numbers and syndication, and it helped raise the regional profiles of several cast members rather than generating a trophy case.

Nuevo Rico Nuevo Pobre had a visible cultural footprint in Colombia and neighboring markets thanks to high ratings and wide distribution. Lines, scenes or characters entered viewer conversation during its run, and its export to other networks helped reinforce Caracol TV's position as a producer of commercially viable telenovelas and comedies.

Audience response has been favorable, reflected in a 7.8 out of 10 user rating based on 369 votes, and critics tended to praise its humor and accessible storytelling. The series mixes situational comedy with family dynamics and class contrasts, leaning on strong ensemble chemistry and recurring comic setups to keep viewers engaged week to week.
