A spin-off of the series was produced in 1983 under the name Las nuevas aventuras de Federrico ("The new adventures of Federrico"). The Villagrán character was almost identical to Quico, which was his character on El Chavo series, the only change being the name, due to an ongoing dispute with Chespirito over the character, a pattern repeated with other former Chespirito cast members such as Rubén Aguirre and María Antonieta de las Nieves. Also, Valdéz's character Don Moncho is identical to El Chavo's Don Ramón, although he left the program after only one season.[1][3]
In 2009 Federrico was broadcast on RCTV Internacional on Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. Currently the series is available on the digital platform and YouTube channel.
