Reception
Filming began in January 2005, and on 12 April the show premiered on Telefe, with a measurement of 28.9 index points of television audience in Argentina in its first episode. However, the audience could not be maintained and the measurements remained at an average of 18 points, having reached a minimum figure of 7.7 points. After being moved to a different time, viewership of re-runs of the first season managed to surpass the original broadcasts, making it one of the most watched programs of 2005 and 2006.
The success of the episodes already broadcast forced the television station to carry out a second season. It premiered on 14 August 2006 at 9:30 p.m. (UTC-3), reaching an average of 33.3 audience index points, being one of the most-watched fictional series that year. In total, the series has 212 episodes, with 137 in its first season and 75 in the second.
The success of the series transcended the borders of Argentina, and it was also broadcast by local channels in Uruguay. It also managed to be one of the most viewed series in Paraguay, Peru and Romania, where it was broadcast under the name Familia Argento.
