This attitude was embraced by the poor masses of Latin America, making the show a success. Part of its success was based on the social status of the characters: they were working poor who tried to make the best out of their lack of money and tried to lead decent, happy lives in spite of it. The show is considered to be quite possibly the most beloved and successful comedy show in Latin American history it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to go to any country in Latin America where this show was not shown. There's also an annual El Chavo Fans Meeting. In Brazil, it is so popular that when the channel that broadcasted it tried to cut it from their schedule after almost twenty years of uninterrupted transmission, the public reacted with such outrage that they had to restore it almost immediately. Many people watch it for the nostalgia factor, but others watch because of a deep identification with the struggle of the characters.

Sometimes, there are episodes where the kids are in school or some other location, like the often-mentioned but rarely-seen "other patio", or the small business some character owns.ĭespite its excessive regionalism, its lack of "sophistication" and its very dated appearance, the show is still very popular in syndication and has been a staple of TV channels not only in Mexico but also almost all Central and South American countries ( And Spain) note and in the U.S., for that matter for years. Most of them take place in the main courtyard or patio of the "vecindad" (community houses) where almost all of the characters live. The show relies mostly on Bottle Episodes. Chespirito is considered by many to tie Cantinflas as Mexico's greatest comedian, and his sketch comedy shows are beloved amongst the entire Latin American population.
The show was created by comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños (whose artistic name was Chespirito, "Little Shakespeare"), along with other classic sketch characters like El Chapulín Colorado.
This lets the show get away with having many rather awful things happen to the kids without it being too horrifying, since they're really adults and playing parodies of kids, anyway. Famous for casting adults as little children. Legendary Mexican Sitcom (and staple of popular culture) about a little orphan boy and his quirky neighborhood.
