What happens

Federrico is a Venezuelan sitcom produced in 1982, starring Carlos Villagrán, Ramón Valdés, Simón García, Maribel Ponte and Nancy Soto. Being carried out by RCTV. in many aspects, the series copied and parodied many of the characteristic characters of El Chavo del Ocho (except Godínez and Doña Clotilde), adapting them to another type of environment and changing their names. A second season of the series was produced in 1983 under the name Las nuevas aventuras de Federrico ("The new adventures of Federrico"). The Villagrán character was almost identical to Quico, which was his character on El Chavo series, the only change being the name, due to an ongoing dispute with Chespirito over the character, a pattern repeated with other former Chespirito cast members such as Rubén Aguirre and María Antonieta de las Nieves. Also, Valdéz's character Don Moncho is identical to El Chavo's Don Ramón, although he left the program halfway in season 1. In 2009 Federrico was broadcast on RCTV Internacional on Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. Currently the series is available on the digital platform and YouTube channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
