Translate Part B into English:
1. What do you think of the comedies of Channel 5?
2. I love them! They are funny and comical. But sometimes news.
3. Which program is more touching?
4. I'm fascinated by the soap opera at 8:00.

Part B is OK. However, none of the translated sentences, except perhaps the last, is a true translation. Try not to translate word for word. For example, emocionante can mean touching, but there's another meaning that seems to work better.

Part A uses the verb interesar. I assume you've been taught that this verb works like gustar and that the sentence construction will seem backwards to us English speakers.
In your answers, using a singular subject (el programa ...) when expressing what type of shows are interesting to you doesn't sound right. All need changed. Some require different wording.
