What Season 1 of El Chavo del Ocho

An eight-year-old orphan known to everyone as El Chavo lives in a vecindad in Mexico City. His real name is never mentioned. Much of the action takes place in the shared courtyard, where he crosses paths with the other tenants every day. Don Ramón, out of work and months behind on rent, tries to avoid Mr. Barriga. Doña Florinda looks down on her neighbors, and Doña Clotilde, the single woman in apartment 71, sparks the curiosity of the children. Along with Quico and La Chilindrina, El Chavo gets into trouble through misunderstandings, distractions and mischief. Pranks, slapstick and laugh tracks accompany every comedic scene.
