Lopez

I am Canadian (obviously) and the Spanish culture so prevalent in the United States, is not so here in Canada. I am non Latino,and would say a middle class - white(tish) guy. So - does the demographic market for this show mean - me? I would say - NO. BUT This show is too, too funny! Admittedly the Spanish sometimes spoken (a very little)is lost on me, as is some of the cultural references,But - this is George Lopez at his best - and I think there is a goodly percentage of his real life portrayed here. This is the first of his shows I watch regularly. I have seen some of his stand up on YouTube before, I wouldn't say I was a huge fan, although this show may make me one. Try it - you may like it!

George Lopez is a comic genius. He can turn the weird that happens every day into a laughable moment. He reminds me of so many Mexicans in my life including my dad and is a perfect, comic blend of them all. I highly recommend. Hang in there on the "spanglish", play it back to catch some really funny one liners. :) Kudos George Lopez!

George Lopez has had several tv shows before this one. On his first attempt, he had a good run playing a family man in the George Lopez Show, but here Lopez plays himself. I was surprised to find a good written show and a fresh take on having George as the lead role. I wasn't too sure what I was getting into before the first episode, but I'm glad I watched. There is nothing overly innovative here that's for sure;it's just Lopez being Lopez. If that is bad or good is up to you to decide. As of me, I like it.

George Lopez as a stand-up comic has made me laugh harder than any other, ever. Mucus-expelling, gasping for breath stuff. His family sitcom "George Lopez" (2002-2007) was hilarious, terrifically written, had a great cast, and was largely ignored by Emmy.

Now we have "Lopez", a far superior and more snot-inducing successor, with no laugh track provided or needed. George is now looking for "relevance" as an older entertainer and Vegas escapee in a world of Los Angeles Twits. He's surrounded in his rented mansion by a new family of fringe-dwelling friends and ex-cons (led by Manolo, beautifully played by Anthony 'Citric' Campos), a creepy landlord, and George's manager, an earnest, WASPish woman-child (Hayley Huntley).

Quote of the series so far: "...there's no sliding scale of racism..."

Watch and repeat.

"Lopez" is definitely one of the funnier "new" shows out there. George is at his best when he is himself - and his low key, natural, smooth performance allows for his supporting cast to shine. Each episode has a cool vibe, is entertaining and unfortunately I have to wait a whole week before the next one - "must see (cable)TV"!
