Saint George

Saint George is amazing. Those who don't like it don't seem to realize that Saint George actually truly represents a Mexican family. It is not fake most Mexican families such as my own and many of my friends have a similar family member to each of the characters. This show and others are not the reason for the current generations problems it's the parents faults. The parents are the ones who allow them what they can or can't watch so why blame a show which you could easily block from the TV. And the show never said it was made for children, George Lopez's live comedy acts are more mature than the show it's not meant for children. Therefore it makes the perfect show for an older audience.

I'm not opposed to raunchy or edgy humor. I love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Archer," two shows which are proudly aggressive in their adult humor. The problem with "Saint George" is that it feels like a traditional 3-camera, live audience family sitcom where someone decided to graft on the most unfunny "adult" jokes into the script even though they just don't fit the style of the show. (Actually, they wouldn't fit ANY show because they are just so immature and lame.)

If George Lopez wanted to do something different than his previous show, he should have made this a single camera show like "Louie" and work with writers who know that style. Or he could have gone the "Modern Family" route, emphasizing the multicultural family. But if he wants to save his current show with the least amount of work, he would do well to ditch the childish "adult" humor and simply embrace the family-safe sitcom style that this show really wants to be. It also appears to be what Lopez's fans want.

I think they should have hired someone else to play the mother of George Lopez in this supposed to be funny comedy show. In actuality she comes across as a very hostile stranger. And it's not funny. It's actually a bit surprising that he chose this horrible actress who is given hostile racist comments throughout the whole series. Even to her own grandson. And then calling her ex-daughter-in-law a white w****. It just wasn't funny the whole thing. I think there could have been better choices. Also the character Junior comes across as extremely annoying and not funny at all. George Lopez should have looked a little bit beyond hiring his buddies or friends in real life and put in funnier characters. Also I would have gone lighter on the mother scene. The hostel rageful racist angry not funny stupid comments and actually very highly abusive comments to her own son George lopez.

Same thing just remove Carmen, have Angie and Max be acted by generic white people, add a gangster uncle and it feels similar. At the time, I thought it was good but after reflecting on the years, the show is boring and uninteresting. The humor isn't that great and is pretty dull, especially from the ex-wife and son. Plus I think the Mexican family view here is done more poorly with the fact half of the time I can't get or laugh at their antics unlike I did with George with Benny. Might as well give this one a pass.

The concept is a good one. The jokes could work, however.. it doesn't. George Lopez is actually really funny and real. However, the mother I HATE Her, she is not funny, just mean. She does not seam to care about George and I get it, she is suppose to be the mean mother/grandmother George grew up with. It just doesn't work. She should show her meanness should come out of love, instead it comes out as hate towards him and his son. I think if the concept was with Danny Trejo trying to help George raise his child after a divorce maybe. However, the chemistry of the actors with each other is not there. I am such a big fan I hate to give him 3 stars. If they get rid of the mother maybe it stands a chance.
