Trivia[]
- Carlos Villagrán departed the show after the 1978 season due to conflicts with Roberto Gómez Bolaños over his tenure. Bolaños accused Villagrán of "stealing the show" by exaggerating his performance as Quico, but Villagrán claimed that Bolaños was only jealous that the character was becoming popular among the fans. When Villagrán wanted to start his own show as Quico, Bolaños refused him permission and unsuccessfully tried to retain him since he owned the rights to the character.
- Despite this, Villagrán kept coming every day on set shooting his remaining episodes with apparent normalcy. His last appearance was in the 1978 finale "Todavía no es hora de clases". In the first 1979 episode, Doña Florinda mentions that Quico moved out to live with his wealthy aunt as he couldn't stand "the chusma" (in English "riff-raff"). He is never seen or mentioned again after this.
- Along with Don Ramón, Quico is one of the most beloved characters of the show due to his mischievous nature and flamboyant personality.
