Lopez contre Lopez

I've been watching George Lopez show reruns and loved them. When I heard that he had a new show I thought great. Loved George. The plot sounded good. I've watched the first two episodes and I don't care for it. I love his daughter and the actor who plays her husband. Those are the only two likable characters. I don't like George and he was the reason I watched. The George that is portrayed is more like the George Lopez the tabloids used to talk about. Alcoholism, etc .Which is sad. They have included an annoying laughter track probably because the show isn't funny. Sadly to say I really don't see myself watching anymore episodes.

I was not going to say anything unless the show was going to get renewed. And found out NBC giving this show a 3rd season. And to be honest this show is really sweet, heartwarming and funny. I have not seen George Lopez on tv since his old show on ABC network tv back in 2007. Wow that was a really long time ago before streaming was available. Anyway I don't watch this show on tv because I hate commercials. I will wait for Netflix or Amazon to have the show. And to be honest the wait is worth it. I actually got to see the 2nd season on Amazon after the show aired. So I am very happy. I love the humor and the script of the show.

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.

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.

The first two seasons were not great but this season is really bad. I don't know how they possibly made this show worse. That "roast" episode was dog S#%T. Just so unfunny. I don't understand why this show is still on the air. I remember when NBC used to make great sitcoms but this show is really not well written. The actors that could be funny on Lopez vs Lopez are not given much to work with. This is a forgettable show that doesn't use is cast or premise in any good way. Please NBC make better decisions. Happy's Place isn't the best sitcom but it is much better than what is happening on Lopez.
