3. Based on the opera Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini.
4. The only telenovela that its writer is also featured as an actor ever aired. He portrayed the character "Pepe Le Coq".
5. The author was replaced by Janete Clair as a result of low viewership ratings.^[6]
6. It is the first 8 pm telenovelas that ran consecutively all created by Janete Clair at the timeslot till 1973.
7. Replaced Régis Cardoso, in the last weeks of the telenovela.^[8]
8. Véu de Noiva was originally scheduled to premiere on 15 October 1969, but production delays resulted in the show's premiere date being moved back by three weeks. The miniseries Rosa Rebelde would be broadcast during the hiatus.

10. The novela broke record of 100 points viewership ratings. The specific episode aired on 4 October 1972, episode 152
11. The only telenovela written by the author on this timeslot
12. A miniseries entitled Roque Santeiro was originally scheduled to premiere on 27 August 1975. However, the program was cancelled before it was scheduled to premiere since the Brazilian government deemed the program to have violated censorship laws. As a result, development of Pecado Capital began earlier than planned; an abridged reprise of Selva de Pedra began airing the day after the final episode of Escalada. Roque Santeiro would eventually premiere in 1985.
13. First telenovela to be produced in PAL-M.^[24]

20. Due to the death of Jardel Filho (who was on the show up to episode 120), director Manoel Carlos abandoned the program. Lauro César Muniz wrote the remaining 17 episodes in collaboration with Gianfrancesco Guarnieri.
21. With the sudden death of Jardel Filho, the novela Sol de Verão was abruptly ended, resulting in an emergency situation. Its replacement, Louco Amor, started production earlier than expected. As a result of Filho's death, Rede Globo aired an adaptation by Zélia Gattai, Anarquistas, Graças a Deus, in the interim.
22. Beginning with the episode aired on 30 June 1983, the Brazilian advisory rating system reclassified the telenovela as impropriate for minors under 14 years, due to scenes of violence (domestic violence) and its insinuations on sex. The show was later pushed to 9:00 pm as a result of this reclassification. Before the early 2000s, the advisory rating system was only used for internal purposes.
