Casados con Hijos: Difference between revisions

'''[[Casados con hijos'Hijos]]'' is the Argentine edition of the American series ''[[Married... With Children (TV)|Married Withwith Children]]''. It is about the misfortunes of Pepe Argento, a former player of Racing Club who now sells women shoes,. heHe is married withto Moni (who always wantwants to have sex), and has two kids, Paola (who dates every man that walks) and Coqui (a loser even worse than him). And to complete it all, his neighbour is María Elena Fuseneco, who always try to defeat and humilliatehumiliate him.

The adaption run for two seasons, and it was played by the most important comedy actors of Argentina, [[Guillermo Francella]] and [[Florencia Peña]]. The writers made an important work in removing all American stuff from the series and fill it with Argentine culture, from the names of the characters to their backgrounds and several plots. Thus, it is not seen in Argentina as the local version of a foreign series, but as a series of its own right.

* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Paola is the most decided, as she's young, pretty and without a stable boyfriend. But Moni and María Elena are not exactly proudsprudes, either... in fact, they love to have sex with their husbands, or to see handsome males when they are not around.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Played for laughs. Pepe Argento is visited by [[The Grim Reaper]], who wants to take him. First, they try to settle things playing Truco (an argentineArgentine card game), and get to a tie. Then, they improvise a net and decide things by soccer penalty kicks. The Grim Reaper is about to win... and then Coki gets into the house, confuses him with a common burglar, and attacks him. The Grim Reaper missed the penalty kick, so he lost.

* [[Perpetual Poverty]]: The Argento are always lacking, but they have a nice house with two stories, basement and patio, and the TV is never cut .

* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen|She Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Coqui won a chance to meet [[Cristina Fernandez De Kirchner]], the current president of Argentina, but who was just the First Lady of president [[Nestor Kirchner]] (2003-2007) during the airing of the show (it may feel ackwardawkward to see the episode now, but all makes sense in context). Of course, he never got the chance, as his family wasted the money. Neither Cristina nor a parody of her actually appeared on screen, and it all stayed in a mere mention.

* [[You Fail History Forever]]: An archeologistarchaeologist appears at the Argento house, declaring that the lost treasure taken by Rafael de Sobremonte during the 1806 British invasion of Buenos Aires was buried in their patio. The fuseneco tried to take it for themselves, and it was finally all a scam. However, the fate of the treasure of Sobremonte is well known: he escaped from Buenos Aires during the invasion, taking all the money of the city with him to prevent it from being taken (no cowardice, it's what the laws instructed in the case of a foreign attack like that), but the British intercepted him at Luján, got the money, and sent it to London, where it was paraded and kept. Buenos Aires was liberated afterwards by Santiago de Liniers, but the money was already in London. There's no misterymystery, much less a chance of finding it anywhere in South America.
