Federrico, is a Venezuelan sitcom series, produced in 1982, starring Carlos Villagrán, Ramón Valdés, Simón García, Maribel Ponte and Nancy Soto. In many aspects, the series copied and parodied many of the characteristic characters of El Chavo del Ocho, specially Quico (now named 'Kiko' for legal issues), and Don Ramón, as well as alternative versions of other characters from the popular Mexican series. Was produced by now-defunt Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV) channel.
In 1978, when Carlos Villagrán resigned from El Chavo del Ocho due to irreconcilable differences that to this day are not known with certainty. Bolaños assured that Villagrán wanted to leave the team to seek new horizons while the interpreter of 'Quico' assured that professional 'envy', due to the fame of his character, had led him to resign. And the retaliation for his resignation, he sent faxes to channels in several Latin American countries only for them to deny him the opportunity to work in them, which would have caused him to spend two years without being able to carry out his projects.
The show failed to match the success of the Mexican program on which it was based, and was cancelled after 29 episodes.
