El Chavo del 8 (TV Series)

TV Series. For over three generations, El Chavo del 8 has charmed Spanish-speaking audiences the world over with its wildly zany appeal. A Mexican television landmark still on syndication to this very day, the series was a winning formula of slapstick comedy and social commentary that is reminiscent of The Little Rascals. El Chavo was an eight-year-old (played by a full-grown adult male) who practically lives inside a barrel in the courtyard of a community filled with loony but memorable characters.
