Man this show actually hilarious. I was raised with slang spanish in LA and this was a staple in my home
Is that the show that had the bumblebee?
Fantastic claymation opening credits
yeah this def. a staple in spanish households
Funny, wholesome and with good life advice. Recuerden “la venganza nunca es buena, mata el alma y la envenena”.
Lots of great memories of watching these with my grandparents growing up in Puerto Rico
Intro song still a banger.
Not to be that guy but couldn’t you have just said that it was a hit in the Hispanic world? Spain and Brazil are Hispanic, this also makes Portugal Hispanic.
Is there anywhere to stream this in US?
So many generations have grown up with this show, gave good life advice on numerous occasions
mane i love this show
I love that someone said “let’s make a show about a young, orphan boy that’s homeless, lives in a barrel, and it mistreated by his neighbors, but we’ll make it a comedy.”
And it worked.
Oh shit I’d completely forgotten about la chilindrina, so that’s why I have a certain type…
Crazy how my parents grew up watching it and as a result so did I.
Thanks to this show Mexico is the way it is . DISABLE
It’s the guy from fortnite!
Insanely legendary. I was born in the late ‘90s, every kid of my generation watched El Chavo on weekdays afternoons despite it being from the ‘70s. I’m from Uruguay yet this show was always on public television because its popularity was (is?) never ending. It was just so funny.

Trivia tidbit: Chespirito is meant to sound like “little Shakespeare” in Spanish: Shakespearito
You seen one episode, you’ve seen them all.
An absolute treasure 💗
I just got introduced to this series last week actually!! I’m looking forward to watching more!
That being said, it premiered in 1971, so today is not the 50th anniversary. You’re off by a few hundred days.
I can still hear the theme song.
I can still hear the theme song.
Wonderful show. I’m 36, Argentinian, and this is still quoted all the time and you can spot people with Don Ramón t-shirts everywhere lol.
I watched this as a kid in PR.
Oh jeez, we watched this in high school Spanish class.
I hope the creator is burning in hell. What a fucked up show
I remember this as a kid. Fuck I’m old. Being late 30s suucks.
I love this show!!
eso eso eso! 🤏🏽
El Chavo! Love this show, used to watch it all the time. The comedy’s timeless, to the point it seems prescient today still.
My god, this unlocked some memories.
I used to watch this when I was a little kid with my grandmother.
Does this show have that dude in the bee outfit?
I literally never watch Spanish things because I can’t understand them completely and most of them my family watched I didn’t really care about but I was fine with this one and “la familia peluche”
