Papá soltero

Papá soltero (Single Father) was a Mexican sitcom series produced by Luis de Llano Macedo from 1987 to 1994. It starred singer César Costa as well as actors Gerardo Quiroz, Edith Márquez and Luis Mario Quiroz, Jorge Pablo Carrillo.

Synopsis

César Costa plays a fictionalized version of himself, the head of a middle-high class family who happens to be a single father, hence the name of the show. He has two sons and a daughter: Miguel (Gerardo Quiroz), the eldest, Alejandra (Edith Márquez) and Cesarín (Luis Mario Quiroz), the youngest. They have a strong relationship with their maid Gumara (Aurora Alonso). They live, in an apartment, where they befriend their apartment building's handyman known as "Pocholo" (José Luis Cordero) and Juan (Juan Peláez/Octavio Galindo), their womanizing neighbor who repeatedly gets others into trouble.
