What happens

Os Trapalhões (Portuguese pronunciation: [us tɾapaˈʎõjs]) was a Brazilian comedy group and a television series of the same name created by Wilton Franco. Its members Dedé Santana, Zacarias, Mussum and their leader Didi Mocó (Renato Aragão). The name Os Trapalhões (which can be translated as The Bumbling Ones or The Clumsy Ones) is derived from the Portuguese verb atrapalhar, which means the opposite of helping, to do something the wrong way or to Those that confuse. The name is translated "Tramps" in English DVD subtitles. It originally aired on Rede Tupi from 1975 to 1977 and the show later moved to Rede Globo and remained there from 1977 to 1993 (with new episodes), and from 1994 to 2000 (with reruns). On March 18, 1990, Zacarias died due to respiratory failure, but the group it has come to an end officially only on July 29, 1994, when Mussum died due to an unsuccessful heart transplant (after facing health problems since the end of 1993, when Globo stopped producing new episodes of the series).
