Chespirito (Brazilian Portuguese, CNT)

It's the first dub of the full series produced in Brazil, two years after the end of original broadcast of the program in Mexico. Unlike the later dub, produced by Gota Mágica studios, this one did not turn out to be so loved by the public, due to the various differences that existed between it and the classic Brazilian dub of the Chespirito's comedy series (mainly Chaves), to which the public he had gotten used to it. It only aired for a year, and today, it's largely considered lost media.

Dubbing history
In 1997, the Brazilian network CNT reached an agreement with the Mexican company Televisa to acquire its select programming, made up mainly of telenovelas. Within the programming package acquired, CNT was offered to acquire the Chespirito series, completely unprecedented for the Brazilian public. The Brazilian audience at first saw this series as strange, since, despite dealing with such famous characters that they had already seen (especially Chaves and Chapolin), they were older and fatter than in the episodes they were used to seeing. see in the SBT programming, which is explained by the difference in production years (more than 14 years), added to the fact that CNT decided to acquire more recent episodes, to the detriment of the oldest ones. The series broadcast in 1997 only, since the agreement between CNT and Televisa lasted only 1 year.

The dub was highly criticized, because, unlike the classic dub by Chaves and Chapolin, there was no major adaptation work for the characters that were newly known by the Brazilian audience, to the point that many kept their original name in Spanish. In addition, the dub received criticism for its disorganization, since when the studio changed, from BKS to Parisi Video, a fixed cast could not be maintained, and many times the voices had to be changed. In addition, only three actors from the original cast of Chaves and Chapolin participate in this dub, and only two returned to play his characters.
