For the first project I will make a website on my favorite Mexican TV show called “La familia Peluche”. I will focus on four of my favorite characters of the show. Each page will feature one of the characters along with information about them, who they are, what is their role in the show, what is their relationship to the other characters and so on. The show uses a lot of bright colors and it’s known for their “peluche” (fluffy?) clothing and for this I want to incorporate this aesthetic into my website. I want it to humorous, fluffy and colorful!
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.
Character 1
Ludovico P. Luche (portrayed and created by Eugenio Derbez) Is a forty something father of the family who has failed in everything he has tried, but in his innocence, lives happily with it. Is the patriarch of the P. Luche family. He tries unsuccessfully to manage his dysfunctonal family consisting of an aggressive wife, a dim-witted former police officer who was confused to be his son, a bright and just daughter, his son who steals, and his other precocious little son.He is not smart therefore he works for Don Camerino who owns a large company that is one of the most important in “Ciudad P. Luche”. (Characteristics)He is sympathetic, naive, silly, lazy. Nevertheless, Ludovico is a good person, in the way they see things, seeks the best for his family. He likes to play football, hang out with friends, flirt (unsuccessfully)
Character 2
Federica de P. Luche (portrayed by Consuelo Duval) is the aggressive, name-calling matriarch of the P. Luche clan. She is a materialistic and loose women. Lives concerned about appearances, she suffers too much because the economic level she wants to be in is not what her husband can give her. Federica, tries to keep her family afloat, although in most cases she doesn’t do it in the best possible way. She works as a housekeeper and does a horrible job at it. Federica topics are makeup, clothes, outings, friends. etc.
Character 3
Junior P. Luche, formerly Comandante Alighieri, (portrayed by Luis Manuel Ávila) was actually a policeman whom Federica ran over. However the family struck his head several times with a cooking pan which caused him to suffer amnesia. Federica and the P. Luches stopped hitting him until he developed a childish personality and decided to adopt him. His distinction between the other children is that he has a beard. He is the older brother. Junior is a man with beard and mustache, with the mentality of a child of eight. He is noble, good and silly. His subjects are children, toys, pets, entertainment.
Character 4
Exelsa, formerly Elsa, (portrayed by Barbara Torres) is the maid of the P. Luche clan. However, she is known for repelling to perform her labor chores and siting all day watching Telenovelas and being served food by Federica. She is given more privileges than the rest of the family.She is from Argentina. In the episode “Los padres de Exelsa” her parents travel from Argentina to visit her. However she lied about her occupation and status, telling her parents that she was the rich owner of the apartment and whose husband was Ludovico P. Luche. Excelsa is loose, cynical and irresponsible. She is like a daughter. Excelsa likes watching TV, lying on the living room couch.
Texture idea for background: The show is known for everything to be made of “peluche” or plush I want to incorporate this kind of texture in my website.
