This is an 1970s Latin American sitcom show that you can watch many times and it is still funny to watch even nowadays.

Has a soft, clean and direct humor, the actors don't need to do a lots to completely get into the hearts of the audience. It is recommended for children and for adults. Chespirito was a genious in how he represented mostly Mexico, but generally Latin America:
  • Chavo, a homeless boy, like many in the third world.
  • Don Ramon: a jobless person, one could call him a vagabond. The best actor in the show, by far.
  • Dona Florinda: a woman who once had a fortune, but now live on subsides of the government. She still thinks she is best than everybody. Kiko is her spoiled child.
  • Professor Jirafales: he a cult person, in love with Florinda, but never assumes the relationship because he also doesn't have money.
  • The villa: is a basic representation of a poor suburb in latin america. Everyone can relate to it.


This is why it is a spectacular show, it tells our everyday life in a comic way. Everyone can relate themselves to the show, see themselves in the characters. This is why a show from 1970s can still make a lot of audience even today.
