 Around 1975 (before the death of Fofó on June 22, 1976), Emilio Aragón Álvarez, Miliki's son, became part of the group as Milikito&mdash;who was at the beginning a silent auguste who communicated with the help of a cowbell, like Harpo Marx with his horn. (Milikito quickly went on to speak, albeit sparsely!) Then in 1981, Miliki, the last auguste of the original trio and the most popular of the brothers, left the program; Rody (Rodolfo Aragón Sac), the youngest son of Fofó, joined the group in black face&mdash;as Emig, his grandfather, had done in the early days of the Pompoff Thedy Family.
-But with the disappearance of Fofó and the retirement of Miliki, the program quickly lost steam. Furthermore, Spain had changed drastically after the end of Francisco Franco’s dictatorship in 1975, and ''El Gran Circo de TVE'' had been a regular feature since 1972. It had indeed adapted to the times, but times were now changing faster. In 1982, it was revamped and renamed ''El loco Mondo de los Payasos'' ("The Crazy World of Clowns"); a change of identity that was perhaps a death warrant: It was eventually cancelled the following year.

-Gaby (Gabriel Aragón Bermudez, 1920-1995), Fofó (Alfonso Aragón Bermudez, 1923-1976), and Miliki (Emilio Aragón Bermúdez, 1929-2012) were Spanish television stars of first magnitude in the realm of children television from to 1972 to 1983, and are remembered by a whole generation as ''Los Payasos de la Tele'' ("The TV Clowns"). The group changed slightly over the years with the subsequent additions of Fofito (Alfonso Aragón Sac, born in 1949, son of Fofó), Milikito (Emilio Aragón Alvaréz, born in 1959, son of Miliki), and finally, Rody (Rodolfo Aragón Sac,  born in 1958, son of Fofó), the passing of Fofó in 1976 and the retirement of Miliki in 1981.
