Una familia de diez (A family of ten) is a Mexican family television sitcom that centers on the López household; a middle class Mexican family that constantly endures hilarious situations. They live in an apartment which barely holds living space for them. The series premiered on March 22, 2007 on the channel Canal de las Estrellas.[1][2] The sitcom was a success, running concurrently in 2007 with other comedy programs such as La familia P. Luche, La parodia, and Vecinos.

It was nominated for a TVyNovelas Award for "Best Comedy Program" in 2008, but lost to La familia P. Luche. Due to broadcasting issues, the pending second season hasn't been released yet, though Una familia de diez is planned to be renewed for 26 episodes.[3]

Plot

Placido Lopez is a middle-class accountant who is tiring of being the sole provider for his extended family. His dependents include his wife Renata, their son Plutarco, their daughter Martina, his father Don Arnoldo, his sister-in-law Licha, and Licha's daughter La Nena. Then Plutarco's new wife Gaby and Don Arnoldo's goddaughter Tecla move in and Gaby announces her pregnancy. This adds up to ten people--"a family of ten." In later episodes, La Nena's boyfriend Aldolfo also moves in. Plácido constantly complains about different mishaps and about each family member's lack of interest in helping with the expenses.

Episodes

Syndication

Una familia de diez has received various positive reviews and has constantly been appraised by Televisa, and its ratings are very high. The show has been re-transmitted several times in Galavisión. It has replaced the show ¡Qué madre, tan padre! which did not respond as favorably as the series. That series was also a Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo production; he is among the handful of Televisa producers who have had one series end one week and another series premiere the next week in the same time slot.
