Papá soltero (Single Father) is a Mexican television comedy series produced by Luis de Llano Macedo from 1987 to 1994.
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.
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.
In 1989 Costa won the TVyNovelas Award for Best Comedic Performance for Papá soltero; the show was also nominated twice for Best Comedy Program but did not win.
[citation needed] In 2018 Costa told El Universal that he planned to revive the series in movie theaters and on stage.
