Simply the best comic show ever made in Spanish language, 8 December 2002
Author: miguelangel-23 from fayetteville, North Carolina

Hard to believe how 40 years old actors can play 8 years old characters with a completely perfect performance. The casting during the years 1973 throughout 1978 was just perfect. Praises for Ramon Valdez, who was pretty far the best of them. This is a comedy that has became an instant classic of all times (specially all the seasons until 1982).At the same level of white humor comedies as "I love Lucy","Three is company" or "Alf" Most of the jokes are so clean, gorgeous, and incredibly smart. Too bad that some of them are untranslatable to any other language, because their nature. This is a recommended show for all audience, and trust me everyone will enjoy it. Great Talent displayed for all the casting including the show creator Roberto Gomez Bolanos (chespirito) I give the show 10 stars without any doubt.
