El Chapulín Colorado is a Mexican superhero television comedy series that aired from 1973 to 1979 and parodied superhero shows. It was created by actor and comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños, who also played the main character. It was first aired by Televisa in 1973 in Mexico, and then was aired across Hispanic American, Spain and Brazil until 1981, alongside El Chavo del Ocho, which shared the same cast of actors. Both shows have endured in re-runs and have won back some of their popularity in several countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Although the series has a regular cast, all actors but Gómez Bolaños play different characters each episode, and it is therefore described as an anthology series.
