Unsurprisingly, many episodes from El Chavo del Ocho's sister series El ChapulГn Colorado suffered the same fate. It's impossible to pinpoint the exact moment when these episodes were shelved, but it's believed that some - if not all - were still distributed until the late 80's, as evidenced by a pack sent to Brazilian network SBT in 1987, which included several now discontinued episodes.

According to actor Edgar Vivar - best known for his role as vecindad owner SeГ±or Barriga - this was the result of failed negotiations regarding a deal in which the network was originally allowed to use the characters for 50 years. On July 31st 2020, Televisa's rights to explore and sell productions featuring Chespirito's characters were lifted due to legal issues between the Mexican company and the comedian's heir - Roberto GГіmez FernГЎndez. The show has experimented public acclaim in Latin America, with a notably large portion of its fanbase being comprised of viewers in Brazil. It focuses on the titular character 'El Chavo,' an orphan 8-year old child whose life is split between pestering his adult neighbors and getting in trouble with the other kids on the vecindad.
