About the film
El Chavo, originally and still often known as El Chavo del Ocho, is a Mexican television sitcom created by Roberto Gómez Bolaños and produced by Televisa. It premiered on February 26, 1973, and concluded on January 7, 1980, after 7 seasons and 312 episodes, and aired across Latin America and Spain. A poor orphan boy known as "El Chavo" played by the show's creator, Chespirito (i.e. Bolaños), chronicles his adventures and tribulations, and those of his friends, frequently leading to comedic confrontations among the other residents of a fictional low-income housing complex, or vecindad ("tenement"), as it is known in Mexico. The sitcom explores the problems that many impoverished children face daily, such as hunger, sadness, loneliness, and a lack of adult supervision and attention, in a comical manner.
