Better than some sitcoms.....

Grade: 9.5/10

This "sketch-based" comedy, is better than some recent sitcoms, and why is that?, because "Chespirito" show, "white" comedy, is for kids, but mature kids, because has some political jokes.

Roberto Gomez Bolaños, is one of the most important comedians in Mexican history, in my opinion is in the Top-10 of Mexican comedians.

His sketches are based on their most known characters, El Chavo (the kid), El Chapulin Colorado (the red cricket), Chompiras(this is not a word). These characters are really funny and make a good physical comedy.

This successful show was seen around the world and translated to Chinese, Russian, french, English and Italian. If you have a chance to see it in TV, please don't touch your remote, I know you will enjoy it.
