Noh Matta Wat! is a Belizean dramatic television series. It airs on Great Belize Television (Channel 5) ; Tropical Vision Limited (Channel 7) and Krem Television (cable).
It was created by the local advertising company 13 Productions, headed by businessman Denvor Fairweather, in conjunction with American film producer and Howard University professor Steve T. Berry. Fairweather is creator and executive producer; Berry is producer and director.
The Diego Family (comprising the grandmother Tomasa, Margaret, her "sister" Lisani, and her son Randy) is a seemingly normal Belizean family. But a chance meeting with a slick American stranger changes everything. The show chronicles their struggle to "live the Belizean life".

The score and theme to "Noh Matta Wat" reflects dramatic origins. The theme was written by Steve T. Berry, music by Oscar Herrera and performed by Dan Man and Dynamo. The score and music for both seasons of the show has been composed by artists including Berry and Adele Ramos, as well as Shawn Tewes, Soundtrack and Enigma.
Each episode opens with the character of Granny Tomasa (Carrie Fairweather) taking a walk with a young boy, presumably from the neighbourhood, where they discuss aspects of the country's history as it relates to the series. After the last scene, cut to Garifuna drums being played as the theme music begins. A series of clips is shown for each of the characters Tomasa, Margaret, Randy, Lisani, Rosanna and Dan Man (in that order) before the camera freezes one clip and reveals that particular character's name in white. Another sequence is shown featuring the credits for the writer, director, producer and executive producer (over other show clips in yellow) before fading to black as the theme song ends.
