The series consists of the comedic portrayal of the daily problems endured by a working-class family.[1] The family is formed by Pepa (Verónica Forqué), Pepe (Tito Valverde), María (María Adánez), Clarita (Silvia Abascal) and Jorge (Carlos Vilches). Besides the working-class background, it also differentiated from other popular Spanish sitcoms at the time such as Farmacia de guardia or Médico de familia due to its somewhat more irreverent sense of humour.[2][3]
Pepa y Pepe was loosely inspired by the American sitcom Roseanne.[5] Produced by Bombón Helado,[5] the series was directed by Manuel Iborra and Manuel Armán.[2] The opening credits featured a version of the popular pasodoble "Suspiros de España", by Antonio Álvarez Alonso.[2] The first episode premiered on 10 January 1995.[4] The broadcasting run consisted of two seasons, featuring, respectively, 20 and 14 episodes.[2] The last episode aired on 26 December 1995.[6]
The series obtained great audience ratings, breaking the 7 million viewer mark, and obtaining a peak share of 40.1%,[2] as well as it also brought forward the acting careers of María Adánez and Silvia Abascal.[3]
