Lopez

"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"!

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!

Why would you use very bad supporting cast members like Kathy Griffin? This show had so much potential, but you need the right people to make this show.

I hate that I found this show too late. I truly enjoyed it. It gave me some genuine laughs. I think, like many things, this show won't be appreciated for what it was until later on...

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.
