Cosita rica is a Venezuelan telenovela written by Leonardo Padrón and produced by Venevisión between 2003 and 2004.

History
On September 30, 2003, Venevisión started airing Cosita rica at 9:00 pm. The last episode was aired on August 30, 2004, with Sabor a ti replacing it.
During its broadcast, the telenovela became a hit among viewers due to its combination of humor, romance and drama with political and socio-cultural commentary. At the time the telenovela was on air, Venezuela was going through a presidential recall referendum, and the media was heavily polarized. The character of Olegario Pérez was seen as an alter-ego of then president Hugo Chávez, and events in the telenovela mirrored what was happening in the country.
After the end of the broadcast of Cosita rica, the Venezuelan government created the Law on Social Responsibility on Radio and Television which aimed as censuring writers and television content produced in the country. This affected subsequent telenovelas produced by RCTV (which was shut down in 2007 by the government of Chávez for its anti-government stand) and Venevisión, as writers became restrictive in terms of what content they could write and produce.
