El Chavo (English: The Kid or The Boy, but Spanish: chavo also meaning "cent"); — also known as El Chavo del Ocho (English: The Kid or The Boy from number Eight) during its earliest episodes – is a Mexican television sitcom series created by Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito), produced by Televisa. It premiered on February 26, 1973 and ended on January 7, 1980 after 7 seasons and 290 episodes and aired across Latin America and Spain.The series theme song is a rendition of Ludwig van Beethoven's Turkish March, rearranged by Jean-Jacques Perrey and retitled “The Elephant Never Forgets”. A poor orphan known as "El Chavo" (meaning "The Kid" or "The Boy"), played by the show's creator, Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito), is the main character of the series. It chronicles his adventures and tribulations, and those of his friends, frequently leading to comedic confrontations among the other residents of a fictional low-income housing complex, or "neighborhood," as it is known in Mexico. TV show Chespirito, created by Televisión Independiente de México (TIM), debuted El Chavo as a skit in 1971. Produced by Televisa, it began as a weekly half-hour series in 1973 after Telesistema Mexicano and TIM merged. The show continued until 1980.
