La CQ

La CQ (English: The CQ) is a Mexican television series created by Pedro Ortiz de Pinedo. Recorded at RCTV Studios in Caracas, Venezuela, it is a co-production between Televisa and Cartoon Network, making it also the first local original live-action series. It follows a group of friends as they experience conflicts throughout their middle school years.

The series first premiered on 6 August 2012, and returned with season 2 exactly four months later in December. The show's series finale aired on 1 March 2014.

In June 2024, it was announced that a sequel series with a new group of students was in production. The series, titled La CQ: nuevo ingreso, premiered on 9 December 2024.

La CQ revolves around a group of eight friends who attend the middle school called Constantino Quijano. Each of the characters (Angel, Clara, Beto, Monche, Jenny, Danny, Adri, and Roque) often go through conflicts causing wild turns of events and misunderstandings, but more importantly always showing the value of friendship and being a team.

La CQ was first conceived in 2006, with Pedro Ortiz de Pinedo commencing writing on the show the following year. The show was announced to be in production in early 2012 after a co-production agreement was signed between Cartoon Network and Televisa. The show is considered to be the first live action series for Cartoon Network Latin America.

The show was cancelled by Televisa in 2014. After production ended, a movie and a Brazilian version of the show were announced by Pedro Ortiz de Pinedo, with negotiations in January 2014 to discuss the future for the series' branding. The show spawned a musical, an album of songs, and tours across theaters in Mexico.

La CQ received mixed reception and criticism since its premiere. Although the show was a critical success among Mexican audiences, who valued the family-oriented nature of the show, other viewers criticized the plot of the episodes, the poor performances, the visual effects, the humor (considered simple and boring), and the excessive use of a laugh track.

The show was also criticized by Mexican viewers due to Cartoon Network's partnership with Televisa, and the frowned upon nature of the organization.
