This begs the question: What’s the Central American Spanish equivalent of Friends for Americans who want to learn Spanish?

El Chavo del Ocho.

I think it's popular in all of Latin America.

I don't know whether it's a better suggestion, but telenovelas (and there are plenty of those) will likely help one learn Spanish better, or better Spanish, while using more realistic intonations and voices, than El Chavo del Ocho with its adult actors making child-like voices and using many expressions you won't find in real-life conversations.

If there’s a particular show that you love, enjoy watching reruns of, and you know almost every line, then switch the language to Spanish!

Otherwise, telenovelas are good.
