I’m watching and listening to an episode of El Chavo del Ocho as I write this….the voices and faces are such a part of my childhood, they are as familiar to me as members of my own family!! I’ve been trying to think of a show in English that I could compare this to…and I can’t. The show is the most translated Latin-American show in history. I mentioned that these programs hold the world record for 40 years of uninterrupted air time!! This Mexican phenomenon has circled the globe and become a part of Latin culture.
The other day I was posting about Chespirito, the famous Mexican actor, director and creator of El Chapulín Colorando and El Chavo del Ocho.
