Trivia / La familia P. Luche

Go To

  • Adored by the Network: The Latin American version of Comedy Central (sans the Brazilian and Southern fed) really, really loves showing reruns of this series on constant basis, to the point that this show and fellow Televisa sitcom Vecinos making almost the entirety of their daily schedule. This ended up infuriating South Park fans and other shows, as they were either dumped really late-at-night and/or being screwed over on bad time-slots and later removed from the schedule because they allegedly don't appease Latin-audiences for whatever reason. To make matters worse, many Televisa-owned networks rerun this series to death as well, despite the series lasting only 80 episodes, which is a laughable number for a sitcom that gets that many reruns.
  • Creator Backlash:
    • Eugenio Derbez's feelings for the shownote  are practically the same as Alan Moore feels about his works with DC.
    • While she doesn't regret the series as a whole, Consuelo Duval has recognized that the running gag of the family mistreating Bibi was cruel.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: During the 2010 World Cup, there was a three-parter known as "El Riñon de Bibi", in where the P.Luches want to go to South Africa to the World Cup and they decide that to buy the plane tickets, they should sell one of Bibi's kidneys. As mentioned on YMMV, many people hated that the family was starting to treat Bibi like a punching bag, so saying that many people were upset by the family's treatment of her is a very big misunderstatement. Since then, the episode hasn't been shown in reruns again or on streaming services and home media because of the negative response, though it might have also been because it was a one-off special. However, video recording of the episode have surfaced online, pretty much cementing this episode as one of the occasions where the P.Luche's abuse of Bibi has hit a new low.
