Lopez vs. Lopez

It's really a remake of one of Lopez's older shows, but modernized in a way that doesn't feel like it was dumbed down and/or condescending. It's not gonna be anyone's favorite show, but it's worth watching for a good laugh here and there.

The main things I think they do really well with are references to his old shows, and the fact that George really let's the other cast members shine. It's definitely still a George Lopez show, but the side characters are fleshed out pretty well and tend to be the real highlights.

Bonus points for any show that has Rita Moreno guest star in am episode, that woman looks INCREDIBLE.(the last bit was admittedly just to hit the minimim character requirement)

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.

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 pretty much the EXACT same show George Lopez keeps doing over and over and over and over. How does he get away with having essentially the SAME sitcom produced under different names??

This appears to be more nepotism than anything... G. Lopez trying to buy a career boost for his daughter. Too bad she can't really act if this show is any indication. And G Lopez can't act either, he never has. He's the same exact character in everything - even his standup - which is why he's always called by his real name in all his (repetitious) sitcoms. I imagine he gets confused if he has to actually use a character name.

Anyway.. a canned laugh track for an unfunny show with pretty poor acting all around and repeating the same jokes G Lopez has used for decades.

Hard pass - even on free tv.

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.
