López contra López

I really like the show and George Lopez but after a few episodes the same stupid annoying music plays at the beginning and at every break and it makes me want to gouge out my ears! How is no one complaining about this??? If I want to watch I have to mute it at the first note every time. It drives me crazy. Otherwise, I think George is funny and I love his crazy hair. The kid is usually pretty funny and cute.

It's not the pinnacle of television excellence but it's amusing and fun. By the way, why do these reviews have character minimums!!?? Also obnoxious. Apujwbnfgpiwurfbpiubpiwubfweiujbefwiub.

This is a great show, and the only TV show I watch on broadcast television. It has excellent writing and you can tell that the writers are either really Cuban and/or Mexican, or have a deep understanding of the different latino cultures. The storylines are rich and the comedy writing is top notch. None of the great writing would be enough if it wasn't for the fantastic cast. There is wonderful chemistry between the cast members and they really seem like family, and even though George is the star, the strong performances by Mayan, Selenis, Brice and Al make the show fun to watch, and my favorite is Matt Shively who plays Quinten, what a funny dude!

Overall it's a great show with "real" characters. George's character is cringy at times, but a real person. I'm a little younger than George, but when I see him, he reminds me of my best friend, a total degenerate and terrible dad, but with redeeming qualities of deep down inside being a good person who has learned from his previous mistakes. Nobody's perfect. There shouldn't be criticism of the writing of his character, but of recognizing that this type of person is real. And there is something in every character that a viewer can find something to relate to.

Big thumbs up to the proper Latino representation. I love how Selenis' curves and big butt are proudly displayed. She's hot! I love that there are diverse actors and with every kind of look. These are your friends and family on this show, not the typical "model" look.

I hope there are many more seasons to come. Can't wait for season 2.

Why in the world do sitcom producers still insist on adding laugh tracks? Are they afraid their shows just aren't funny, that audiences can't judge for themselves? In the case of this particular show, yep. These producers need to check out Abbott Elementary and Young Sheldon, shows that are huge hits that don't need laugh tracks. (A big mystery there is why Chuck Lorre continues to produce other sitcoms that are still plastered with those dreaded tracks).

I tried to get my teenage granddaughters interested in Lopez vs Lopez. They watched about ten minutes of the pilot and said no way, we hate laugh tracks.

All that said, I still like this show, even though my husband doesn't for the reason I keep harping on.

I grew up with GL as a half Mexican kid growing up as a military brat. He was one of many comedians that gave me a harsher understanding of Mexicans. Honestly, comedy shows with laugh tracks just aren't IT anymore even with laughter recording or live show audience laughter. I also vibe with the idea that Tiktok is involved with it to make it modern.

I think people also dont understand that Mayan, George's daughter is also one of the creator's of this show as well. It's not bad for a first time creator. I don't know if it will make it past season 1 or 2 in this day and age but I personally am enjoying it. It won't be everyone's cup of tea.

I'd say give it a shot, if you don't like it, move on.

A lot of this was cringy (get rid of that canned laughter!), but there were some jokes that landed - the ones in the trailers and especially the Tiktok one with Lopez and his ex. I thought that was really funny.

I also laughed at the kid's face when Lopez asked if he had told him the story about the man born with the body of an owl.

Unlike what another commenter said, we old folks actually know what tiktok is and there are plenty of older people who have content and quite a few followers.

Maybe the person who thinks we don't know needs to get out more (🙄)

Will I stick with this show? Maybe. I have stuck with shows who's pilot wasn't the best and the actors and characters melded over time. Also I didn't find the acting poor.

Maybe I damn with faint praise...

Let's hope this one improves. BTW, I didn't like his original show which came across, to me, as just another generic sitcom in "brownface", instead of being a unique experience of Latino culture.

I'm not Hispanic, but I'm not white either and I've watched plenty of sitcoms with mostly white characters that I thought were really funny and I really thought his show would be unique and, to me, it just wasn't.

Maybe the second time will be the charm.
