I Love George Lopez and if he'll come up with another show I'll definitely give it a chance. But this show is just awful and not remotely amusing! I LOATHE that mother character! Her lines are so badly written, she comes across as the most hateful person who is just violent and mean!! She is vile and I can not stomach watching her! None of the characters have ANY chemistry! And I agree with the previous comments, the content seems to be going for some kind of shock value; but they are not pulling it off! Don't try to "fix" this show; it's already left a bad impression. Rather be smart and know when to step away, find creative writers and a cast who has chemistry. For the love of George's reputation take this off the air and give him another show!!
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.
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 gave this show a chance but it just keeps disappointing me. I give George credit for representing the Hispanic community and trying to put a show together that shows the culture of how Hispanics live (sort of), but damn most of the jokes are not funny, and none of the supporting actors lines are funny at all, even the actor playing the kid sucks. Is as if no body gets what the show is supposed to be about and is having trouble making their characters believable. It's just not working. On the George Lopez Show George had some great supporting actors like Constance Marie would could deliver the lines and draw you into their character. Not on this show, it's like all the dialog is coming from the same person. I don't know if it's the writers or the actors that need to change, but something does. I really see no need for the ex wife or the kid, since the show really is not delivering any family oriented content, and why do some of the episodes remind me of a George Lopez Show episode, just remixed. I don't know if this show will make it, if next season is like this, I won't be watching it. I'll just watch my reruns of the George Lopez Show.
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.
