El Chavo

El Chavo is a famous Mexican TV series made by Televisa in 1972. It is a sitcom that narrates the history of an abandoned 8-year old boy nicknamed "El Chavo", who lives in a neighborhood. The show is famous in Hispanic countries and Brazil, with many episodes and sketches produced until 1992, and being internationally broadcast until July 2020, when Televisa stopped broadcasting it.

El Chavo was originally named "El Chavo del Ocho", because it was broadcast on Canal 8 (currently, Nu9ve). However, in 1973, El Chavo del Ocho became independent from the Chespirito program (the same with El Chapulín Colorado) and moved to Canal 2 (currently, Las Estrellas) although the name was retained (since it was already popular) and the famous excuse of El Chavo living on Apartment 8 was created.

During the Chespirito program era, the various sketches were represented by cartoon-ish illustrations. El Chavo is one of those cases. The final of these cartoons, used since 1982, was animated using classic animation principals. El Chavo ended its entire production on June 12, 1992, with his final sketch being a class about English.
