I Married Dora is a sitcom that aired on ABC.
Los Angeles architect and single father Peter Farrell was dependent upon his housekeeper Dora Calderon. However, she was an illegal alien from El Salvador and the United States government's Immigration and Naturalization Service was about to deport her. To prevent her from being arrested upon her return home, and to be able to continue to employ her services as a housekeeper, the two married. As marriages under false pretenses were violations of federal law, the first episode included a disclaimer notifying viewers of this fact and adding, "You should not try this in your own home."
Two important aspects of the stories were the threat of their sham marriage being discovered by authorities and the possibility that they might fall in love, normalizing and legitimizing their marriage. Farrell's children were 13-year-old Kate and 11-year-old Will.
