Debut On Chespirito
In 1980, a new show premiered called Chespirito which was an hour long and employed all of Chespirito's characters in sketches of varying lengths. On "Chespirito", El Chompiras and Los caquitos were revived. However, Ramón Valdéz had left Chespirito's troupe in 1979, so Peterete was forgotten and replaced with Botija (Edgar Vivar). Since most of the Caquitos sketches performed on the new show were simply remakes of the ones that had appeared years before on the older ones, Botija's character was extremely similar to Peterete's, except physically, since Botija was extremely fat, and Peterete was extremely thin.

Famous quotes containing the word debut:
“Had I been less resolved to work, I would perhaps had made an effort to begin immediately. But since my resolution was formal and before twenty four hours, in the empty slots of the next day where everything fit so nicely because I was not yet there, it was better not to choose a night at which I was not well-disposed for a debut to which the following days proved, alas, no more propitious.... Unfortunately, the following day was not the exterior and vast day which I had feverishly awaited.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
