It started as a sketch on another Televisa show, called La Parodia, that parodies political, social and cultural events happening in Mexico.
The show's title and theme song were inspired by the successful soap opera El Privilegio de Amar.
However, some of the actors who performed leading roles (such as Arath de la Torre, who played the role of presidential candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), Roberto Madrazo) stated that in a few years, when political events have advanced, they will make a return to see how things are.
Characters presented here first would later appear on El Privilegio de Mandar, like "Chente" and "Andrés Manuel".
In September of the same year, Alter Films released a DVD containing the first ten broadcast episodes of El Privilegio de Mandar.
The January 7, 2011 edition of NuestroDetroit.com, however, reported that a second season may soon be in production with Reynaldo Lopez taking over executive producing duties.
For example, in 2004, Andrés Manuel López Obrador had problems with the law, confronting a desafuero judge, so in the show all the trouble was parodied for months.
The real word is "relajo", but the "j" is changed to "x" like the one in "Mexico"), representing the bad organization of the political world in that country.
Soon the door rings: The day now changes to Thursday July 6, when the official counting was finished and declared Felipe winner of the election.
Jokes on this episode Andrés M. López Obrador criticised the show as making fun of him personally and as a strategy of the media to attack him because he felt that the amount of time dedicated to him was excessive in relation to other politicians.
After 2006 elections, changes to the laws were provided to warn any television propaganda in favor or against a candidate, preventing Televisa to do another season of El Privilegio de Mandar.
