Histori
Origins
In 1971, Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os was already known in Mexico for his self-titled sketch comedy show, produced by TelevisionÃÆ' Independn Independiente de MÃÆ'à © xico and aired on XHTIM-TV, channel 8 (now XEQ-TV channel 9, Gala TV). He has introduced El ChapulÃÆ'n Colorado and other characters.
Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os is the main creator and star of the event. He called Florinda Meza to act in the first show; Chespirito and Meza later married. ÃÆ' â ⬠° dgar Vivar is the second actor selected for the show. Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os recruiting RamÃÆ'ón ValdÃÆ'à © s because he has known ValdÃÆ'à © s for years and has seen several movies made Valdà ©. Then, RubÃÆ'à © n Aguirre was cast in the show as a "Professor Jirafales" character. Aguirre and Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os have been working on the script together for years, and Aguirre has played the character of Professor Jirafales at another Chespirito show, Supergenios de la Mesa Cuadrada , who forged the current show. discussion. Carlos VillagrÃÆ'án happened to be a friend of Aguirre who was a newspaper reporter, and he went to a party organized by Aguirre. VillagrÃÆ'án performs a comedy step where he blows his cheek out of proportion, and Aguirre tells Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os about his friend's hidden talent. VillagrÃÆ'án was soon hired for the show. MarÃÆ'a Antonieta de las Nieves is a voice actress who used to go to Televisa to make announcements. After hearing his voice, Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os thought he was perfect for the show (he first refused to tell him that he was not a comedy actress, but retort Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os challenged him: "Then you are not a good actress: no dramatic actor or comics - there are only actors. "). The last additions to the show were Angelines FernÃÆ'ández, former film actress and Horacio GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os, younger brother Roberto who had never considered acting before; he was originally to oversee the marketing of the event.
The first sketch of El Chavo was broadcast on June 20, 1971 and featured El Chavo, Chilindrina and Don RamÃÆ'ón. Some of the "Chavo" sketches produced before the start of the half-hour series are grouped into half-hour segments and displayed before the official "half hour" episode in syndication. Many of them were also rewritten and re-recorded as performances half an hour later in show life.
Broadcast history
Pada tahun 1973, Telesistema Mexicano give Independent Televisià ³ n de Mà © xico bergabung menjadi Televisa. Setelah merger, El Chavo del Eight menjadi serial TV setengah jam mingguan.
The initial show consists of sketches at the beginning, featuring Dr ChapatÃÆ'n, El ChÃÆ'ómiriras, or one of Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os' other characters, and two short episodes of the main character. The episode was actually a sketch filmed in 1971-72 that probably should have been featured on "Chespirito," which was canceled. After a few of the episodes that introduced the first years of the show, the show began to consist of nearly half an hour of episodes preceded by a sketch starring Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os himself and his character, as in the first performance structure.
At the end of the first season, MarÃÆ'a Antonieta de las Nieves left the show because of her pregnancy. During the 1973 season episode, including what might have been filmed in 1971-1972, recorded De Las Nieves generally plays a female cast and is the first actor to be credited after Chespirito. In his absence, Florinda Meza took over the role of women for a non-Chavo del 8 sketch, and El Chavo and Quico became a great comic couple.
The 1974 season began with El Chavo and Quico as children of comic characters, including Don RamÃÆ'ón as a charismatic adult character. During the season, class scenes begin to appear, alongside other child characters such as ÃÆ''oÃÆ' à ± o (son SeÃÆ' à ± or Barriga, both characters played by Edgar Vivar), Popis (one of Florinda Meza's other characters), and casual GodÃÆ'nez (played by Horacio GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os, brother of Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os).
De las Nieves was given the last "last billing" when he returned in 1975. After ValdÃÆ'à © s and VillagrÃÆ'án left in 1979, he transferred to top billing after Chespirito again. On the hour-long "Chespirito", De las Nieves is often given a third charge behind Chespirito and Florinda Meza if playing a character other than Chilindrina, otherwise he always gets a special final credit.
When Carlos VillagrÃÆ'án left the show, it was explained that Quico had lived with his rich grandmother. "He can not stand the riffraff anymore", DoÃÆ' à ± a Florinda explained. Not long after that, RamÃÆ'ón ValdÃÆ'à © s also left the series. Chilindrina explains that Don RamÃÆ'ón left his country to find a job and that he will not return until he becomes a millionaire. With the loss of the two main supporting characters, the ratings for the show slid and Televisa canceled El Chavo on January 6, 1980.
Chespirito
Then in 1980, Gomez Bolaón returned with a revived version of Chespirito featuring El Chavo, El ChapulÃÆ'n Colorado and other characters. El Chavo's debut in this program is luck, with many new episodes being produced. In addition, in 1981, ValdÃÆ' à © s joined with Chespirito after starring in several failed performances alongside VillagrÃÆ'án. However, he leaves again at the end of the year. The number of new episodes began to decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s, so again, many of the original episodes were re-created.
Eventually, Chespirito's age began to catch up and it became increasingly difficult for him to describe some of his characters, especially El Chavo and El Chapulin Colorado. In 1992, at the age of sixty-three, Chespirito retired El Chavo's character from his show (he did the same to El Chapulin Colorado one year later).
animated series
After several years of successful reruns, Televisa launched an animated spin off of the program in October 2006. El Chavo Animado is produced by ÃÆ' nima Estudios using 2D and 3D computer charts. They turn characters with Adobe Flash. Televisa distributes cartoons throughout Latin America.
Cartoons also allow to portray children to the right scale. Previously, since children were played by adults on the show, the nuances were given to the characters through their dress, speaking, and especially through giving them big toys. However, this is not the first attempt to bring it to life. Previous credit sequence displays claymation animation.
In this animated series, Chilindrina does not appear due to an ongoing dispute between MarÃÆ'a Antonieta de las Nieves and Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os about the right "La Chilindrina". De las Nieves feels that he should be entitled to compensation for money if "La Chilindrina", the character he brought to live in the television series, appeared in the animated series. Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os claims that since he created the character, only he has the right to such characters. The dispute is still unsolved and therefore, the Popis character has taken over the role that once belonged to La Chilindrina in the first session in which the chapters are basically an animated adaptation of the classical episode of Chavo.
The show is dubbed in English by Dubbing House, a Mexican post-production company. English soundtrack recorded at Henckahontas Studio in Burbank California.
Animated series have achieved enough fame to have their own videogames, such as self-described board/party games for Nintendo Wii, El Chavo Kart racing games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and social games that can be played through Facebook is called La Vecindad del Chavo.

Relationship with Walt Disney movie
Dozens of soundtracks from various Walt Disney movies (Dumbo, Peter Pan, Snow White, Pinocchio to name a few) are known to be frequently used during the event during the commercial break & amp; every time the program continues. They will also use it to provide an episode atmosphere, but the original subject of the music never really connected with the mood episode: The perfect example is when El Chavo feels lonely (this is during a special episode that all his players vacation in Acapulco) instrumental to the theme song Peter Pan, "The Second Star to the Right" is marked to display its loneliness even though the subject of the last song is very cheerful.

Production and settings
El Chavo is located in vecindad, a typical Mexican townhouse neighborhood owned by SeÃÆ' à ± or Barriga. Seà ± à ± ± or Barriga is almost always seen in the neighborhood and is usually there to collect monthly rent from its inhabitants. The best tenants are DoÃÆ' à ± a Florinda and DoÃÆ' à ± a Clotilde, who pay each month on time. The worst tenant is Don RamÃÆ'ón, who never pays rent and either hides from SeÃÆ' à ± or Barriga until he leaves or uses trickery to override payments for later.
This sitcom explores, in a funny way, the problems facing many homeless children every day, such as hunger, sadness, loneliness, and lack of adult supervision and attention. On one episode, for example, Chavo was sitting on the steps of the vecindad stairs at night, dreaming of all the toys he wanted and how he played with them. It ends with him back to the present, sighing sadly, then removing the balero (the only toy he once had on a regular basis) made of a cane, can, and a rope. He started playing with it as the camera slowly faded. Some episodes also have the end of education, teaching, for example, that it is good to bathe and not judge a book by its cover.
El Patio, the central courtyard, is the venue for most episodes. Surrounding the terrace, is Jaimito's "El Cartero" (from 1982 onwards), DoÃÆ'à à ± a Florinda, DoÃÆ'à ± a Clotilde, and Don RamÃÆ'ón. The hallway on the right leads to the "otro otro porch", another courtyard, which sometimes has a fountain in the middle. On the street facade on the left, la tienda de la esquina and a barber shop are displayed adjacent to the neighborhood entrance.
El Chavo was filmed in a fictitious environment in studios 2, 5 and 8 of Televisa San Angel in Mexico City. In the next season, sometimes there is an anonymous park that is displayed. Some episodes are arranged in Professor Jirafales's classroom, where he teaches, all the child characters in the sitcom attend the same class. Others are arranged inside DoÃÆ' à ± a Florinda restaurant. Three episodes were filmed in Acapulco, which is also a holiday for all players. In 1992, the last El Chavo sketch was filmed in Professor Jirafales's classroom. The final sketch for El Chavo is the 1992 remake of the Clases de InglÃÆ'à © s.
Episode
The first season (1971-1973) was made from sketches that lasted about 7-8 minutes, except "La Fiesta de la Buena Vecindad" which has a duration of 15 minutes. The first episode of the 1973 season, and the last of El Chavo in the updated "Chespirito" show, lasted 15-17 minutes (the rest of the run time is filled by sketches of other characters, mostly from "Los Caquitos"), the next episode takes about 23-25 âââ ⬠" ⬠<â â¬
Style humor
El Chavo is a ridiculous sitcom: he relies heavily on physical comedy, jokes, literal interpretations, multiple meanings, misinterpretations (and even, sometimes, elements of comedy mistakes) to entertain the audience, and the characters and situations are mostly persistent.
In series many objects are used as a good symbol of the character of the environment itself. The most iconic is the wooden barrel near the neighborhood entrance. This is El Chavo's "secret hideout", and most characters do not realize that he owns the apartment where he lives. A joke about this is that they believe this is the real residence of El Chavo, which El Chavo quickly clarified. Other symbols in the series include the Quico ball and other toys, lollipops and balloons representing the children, Don RamÃÆ'ón hat, DoÃÆ'à ± a curly hair of Florinda, Professor Jirafales cigars, novice flower buds of the last two, DoÃÆ' à ± a Clotilde brooms, etc.
Reception and inheritance

El Chavo del Ocho is also very popular in Brazil, where it has been dubbed into Portuguese under the name Chaves , broadcast by SBT; and since the early 1980s it was the largest audience at different times according to IBOPE.

"Chespirito" has been conducting a legal battle with former actor El Chavo del Ocho from a desire to prevent them from using the event characters in Mexico without his permission. VillagrÃÆ'án moved to Argentina to use his character's name on his show ( Chespirito not copyright protected in Argentina). MarÃÆ'a Antonieta de las Nieves, however, won a court battle against GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os for the right to perform in Mexico as la Chilindrina. Nevertheless, in 2012, after years of legal battles with GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os, he announced his resignation, complaining that his victory against GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ'à ± os ended his career, and nobody would hire him. Currently, the only member of the player who is not threatened by legal action is ÃÆ' â ⬠° dgar Vivar, who also postponed his character after gastric bypass surgery.
Rejected serial font
During a visit to Peru in 2008, Roberto GÃÆ'ómez BolaÃÆ' à ± os told the media that he originally planned to make the right end for El Chavo del Ocho: at the end of this season, El Chavo will be trampled down - stepped on by a car, trying to save another child. However, one of BolaÃÆ' à ± os' daughters, who was a psychologist, convinced his father to cancel the idea, because he thought it could suppress many children and even lead them to commit suicide.
