The news shocked fans - and not so much - of Chespirito . It is that from July 31 neither the fun neighborhood of El Chavo del 8 , nor the (doubtful) courage of El Chapulín Colorado , nor any other creation of Roberto Gómez Bolaños , the legendary Mexican comedian and comedian, will be seen on screen again girl anywhere in the world.
It happens that the Televisa Group and the Chespirito Group failed to reach an agreement to continue the transmissions that started just over 47 years ago.
"Although sad about the decision, my family and I hope that Chespirito will soon be on the world screens. We will continue to insist, and I am sure we will succeed," his son, Roberto Gómez Fernández , published on Twitter. And so it announced the novelty that, immediately, generated a flurry of posts on the networks.

"What do I think that the Chespirito program is no longer broadcast ? Although I have nothing to do with it because I have inexplicably not been called to the negotiations, I think that right now, when the world needs more fun, doing that is an attack on people " , he wrote next to a photo in which you can see the gallery of characters that for almost five decades fascinated adults and children.

It is part of the DNA of Latinos, we carry it in genetic memory , " he said direct against Televisa . "It is sad to see how in your own house, to which you have given millions of dollars, they value you the least" and "Maybe some executives without vision want to erase it, but in the heart and memory of the good guys who always They have continued to be more alive than ever, "said the 71-year-old actress.
So far, and despite the stir caused by the news, the Mexican company has not issued a statement on the subject.
Although the life of El Chavo and its neighbors was filmed between 1973 and 1980 - El Chapulín Colorado ended a year earlier - the programs were aired not only in Mexico but throughout the Americas with continuity until now. In fact, until a few days ago they were part of the programming of the main channels on the continent.
When Roberto Gómez Bolaños died in 2014, at the age of 85, the entire legacy of Chespirito was left to his family. For its part, Televisa has the transmission rights of the original series.
An unforgettable program: the reaction in the networks
As soon as the news was known, the faithful followers of the artist and all his creations were quick to comment on the networks. So much so that Chespirito quickly positioned himself as the Trending Topic of the day on Twitter.
Memories of afternoons watching the program on TV, family experiences enjoying the confusions of El Doctor Chapatín , or memories of the eternally unpaid rent debt of the beloved Don Ramón filled the messages.
