Have you ever seen El Chavo del 8?

[gwolf666]

A super old Mexican TV series, but even as the years go by, it remains relevant and widely watched by millions of people. In Brazil, it's practically a super popular series. However, I'd like to know if you, who are from other parts of the world except Latin America, know this series, if you've seen it, and if you did, did you like it?

Maybe it's a show more popular in that region? I haven't seen or heard about this one before now though.

Yes, specifically in Mexico it is extremely well-known and in Latin America, but in the rest of the world, although it is not super well-known, it is also a little known since this series was dubbed into multiple languages, including Japanese, German, Russian, Portuguese, English, etc.

That's cool, then it must be really popular, what's the show about though?

It is a comedy show about an orphan boy who lives in a neighborhood and very funny situations happen between the characters of that neighborhood, generally very typical of Latin America in the 70s and 80s.
