El Chavo del Ocho is a Mexican television sitcom created by Roberto Gómez Bolaños, produced by Televisa.

The show follows the adventures and tribulations of the title character—a poor orphan nicknamed "El_Chavo" (which means "The Kid"), played by the show's creator, Roberto Gómez Bolaños "Chespirito"—and his friends, which often cause conflict, of a comedic nature, between the other inhabitants of a fictional low-income housing complex, or, as called in Mexico, vecindad.
