 The children, having been exposed to American culture for years, spoke primarily in slightly accented colloquial English, but were able to converse relatively competently in Spanish as needed (such as when speaking to their grandparents), though one of the running gags of the show revolved around their occasional butchering of Spanish grammar or vocabulary.The series initially ran for four seasons from 1977-1980 (39 episodes were produced) and continues to run in syndication.As of 2016, a film adaptation is currently in development produced by Las Vegas Money Manager and film producer Dax Anthony Cata, a lifelong fan of the original show and its star Steven Bauer who subsequently would go on to play Manny Ribera in the wildly popular 1980s Cuban remake of "Scarface" starring Al Pacino which was a major inspiration for the screenplay of the ¿Qué Pasa, USA?
