La familia P. Luche (English: The Plush Family) is a Mexican family sitcom created by Eugenio Derbez. The series aired from 2003 to 2012 on the channel Canal de las Estrellas, and was later syndicated on the American channel Univision. It is a spin-off of a regular sketch on the XHDRBZ comedy-sketch program.
In the series, the characters live in a fictional city called "Ciudad P. Luche" where clothes and other objects are wrapped in plush. The word P. Luche, is a pun to the word plush in Spanish: peluche. The show is similar in style to the American sitcom Married...With Children, in that it depicts a comically dysfunctional family. La familia P. Luche, however, plays more like a live-action cartoon, complete with colorful sets and comic sound effects. The sitcom won a TVyNovelas Award for "Best Comedy Program" in 2008.
Ludovico P. Luche (portrayed and created by Eugenio Derbez) is the father and leader of La Familia P.Luche. He is known for his laziness and low intelligence. He often shows that he is not happy with his life including his wife and kids; he is a terrible father and employee. He always wears blue clothes—mostly suits and ties—made of plush, and is a fan of Cruz Azul.
Federica de P. Luche (née Dávalos) (portrayed by Consuelo Duval) is the mother of La Familia P.Luche. She is known for being aggressive and overdramatic with her kids and husband. She's very promiscuous, frequently flirting with other men, and is described as "golosa" (literally "greedy," i.e. "slutty"). In one episode it is revealed that she cheated on her husband with the milkman and that he is the father of one of her kids. She always wears pink clothes made of plush, mostly very provocative tops and skirts. She is a fan of Club América. And She Has The Siliest Laugh On Earth.
Junior P. Luche, formerly Comandante Alighieri, (portrayed by Luis Manuel Ávila) was actually a policeman whom Federica ran over with her car; when he awoke with amnesia, they managed to keep Federica out of jail by convincing him that he was one of their kids. They went on to treat him like a 12-year-old until he developed a childish personality and they decided to adopt him. Although he is nearly middle-aged and has a beard, everybody treats him like a child; he even goes to school. He always wears orange and yellow clothes made of plush and is a fan of Cruz Azul.
