El Chavo del Ocho (1972–1983)
9/10
Hilarious. Great for Beginning Spanish Learners, too.
15 July 2017
So far, my biggest reward in learning some more Spanish, at age 65, has been some of the great music I've discovered, and this fabulous comedy. Adults playing the roles of children is nothing new, but the actors in this show are so great in their portrayal that I easily accept that they are just kids and not their real ages. This is classic comedy, with slapstick, wordplay, and old vaudeville style routines. Spanish is not my native language, but the Netflix versions I'm watching let you add captions. The Spanish is usually basic and they often repeat gag lines. It's fun as a beginner Spanish student to watch El Chavo get words confused with similar words. I hit my language translator and I get an even bigger laugh. My advice is learn just a little bit of Spanish and watch this show. I'm glad I found it!
