Trivia

 * The Italian intro tries to be like the original, being introduced by a voiceover. The difference is, that in Italian, each actor introduces his character with his voice.
 * Despite being a woman, Doña Clotilde is interpreted in Italian by a man.
 * This version has a series of modifications, compared to the original version, resorting mainly to the change of names, as in the Brazilian version.
 * Possibly, due to its age, much of this dubbing is lost media, and all that remains are individual scenes recorded from the last channel that broadcast it, the now-defunct Rete A.
 * The series had an acceptable reception in its time, and it is remembered mainly by children, young people or even adults, who saw it in its day in the 80s, but it is practically unknown to young Italians. In Italy, the series is considered cult, and it is the one that has made Roberto Gómez Bolaños recognized in the country, where he is known as one of the most important comedians in Mexico.
