Chespirito: Not Really on Purpose

In 1951, Roberto pursues his dream of a career in television, defying his mothers orders, to try his hand at both comedy...and love.

Doctor Chapatíns resignation puts Robertos career at risk, so he must create a new character before the executives give his place to another comedian. But its his cunning and an old idea that will save the day.

As El Chavo gains popularity and Roberto is given more creative freedom, Channel 8s competitors vie to bring Chespirito on board. Meanwhile, success and fame cause trouble for Roberto, his team and his family, leading to the comics most prolific -- and devastating -- era.

As Chespiritos characters reach the height of their popularity across Latin America, Roberto relishes in his newfound level of fame -- while growing more distant from his family back home. In Acapulco, Roberto finds himself struggling with what he feels and what he thinks is right.
