Con Lo Que Cuenta Este País (in English, What The Country's Counting On) was a popular Puerto Rican comedy sitcom that capitalized on the popularity of its main character named Chevy (played by Melwin Cedeño).

The show began airing on February 2, 1991 on Telemundo of Puerto Rico, and lasted until 1993. It remained on the top spots during its run. Some of the characters gained so much popularity that they would reprise their roles on other shows.

Comedian Melwin Cedeño started playing his character Chevy in the late 80s. The character was so popular among teens that producers Hector Marcano, Jackie Torres, and Jose Vallenilla, presented a new sitcom to Telemundo of Puerto Rico. The show was added to Telemundo's programming in February 1991.

The show was quickly received and cherished by Puerto Rican audiences and occupied the top places in ratings. It remained very popular until its cancellation in 1993. Cedeño has continued to perform as Chevy on other programs and activities, and some of the actors involved have reprised their roles in other shows (see El Gran Bejuco).

Chevy was a Nuyorican teenager that upon returning to Puerto Rico started working at restaurants. He was hired by "Don Vale" (Pucho Fernández, son of the international star Tres Patines) at the restaurant "El Gandongo Express" as a waiter. "Don Vale" had a beautiful daughter named "Beba" (Felicidad Morales) who instantly fell in love with "Chevy" (Melwin Cedeño).

The restaurant was located in an alley corner, and Chevy would always arrive in his flamboyant Volkswagen Beetle listening to loud music. After getting down, he would perform some dance stunt, and then go to work.
