Villa Alegre (1973–1977)
10/10
Takes me back to 1977 maybe 1978
19 October 2006
Wow, this show takes me all the way back to 1977 or maybe 1978. I used to watch this show in Headstart (Preschool)everyday. My parents were Mexican immigrants, so my brother and I were first generation here in Los Angeles, we only spoke Spanish at home. I did not understand English until I was like in first grade. So watching Villa Alegre in class was a total escape for me. I remember how I used to look forward to watching the show. It was probably the only time when I understood the dialogue. I used to watch other TV shows like Mork and Mindy. But I used to watch them for the physical comedy because I certainly couldn't understand a word of English. Unlike you guys I can't remember the theme song. But to this day I will never forget that heart-sinking feeling I would get at the end of the show. I remember that when the credits at the end of the show would start rolling, then the classroom lights would turn back on. Then I went back to my reality.
