About La Carabina de Ambrosio
La Carabina de Ambrosio was a variety television program broadcast between 1978 and 1987 presented as a Comic-Magical-Musical Show. It was produced by Humberto Navarro. It was hosted by figures such as Gualberto Castro, César Costa, Fito Girón and Manolo Muñoz. Some of the sketches of the broadcast were Guillo and the altar boy (Chabelo and the host in turn), La escuelita (Gualberto Castro, La pájara Peggy, Guillo, el Vulgarcito), the ventriloquist and Pujitos (César Costa and Chabelo), La Palabra Canta (Alejandro Suárez) and Mercado de Lágrimas (parody of Valle de Lágrimas and soap operas of the time) and parodies of the musical hits of the moment.
Directed by Humberto Navarro, La Carabina de Ambrosio leans on a strong ensemble — César Costa, Alejandro Suárez, Xavier López — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1978.

La que se avecina is a Spanish television comedy created by Alberto Caballero, Laura Caballero and Daniel Deorador. The TV-series focusing around the inhabitants of Mirador de Montepinar, a fictional building located on the outskirts of a big city. Both its storylines and cast are heavily based on Aquí no hay quien viva, which ended when Telecinco bought Miramón Mendi, the series production company.
The episodes debuted on the Telecinco network, and were later rerun by the same network as well as cable/satellite channels FactoríaDeFicción and Paramount Comedy. The series debuted in 22 April 2007 and became popular thanks to its funny characters, witty script, use of catchphrases and capacity to integrate and poke fun at contemporary issues; the program presents a caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society.
The name of the show involves wordplay, as "vecina" is the Spanish word for neighbour.
