Lopez vs. Lopez

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.

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 grew up with GL as a half Mexican kid growing up as a military brat. He was one of many comedians that gave me a harsher understanding of Mexicans. Honestly, comedy shows with laugh tracks just aren't IT anymore even with laughter recording or live show audience laughter. I also vibe with the idea that Tiktok is involved with it to make it modern.

I think people also dont understand that Mayan, George's daughter is also one of the creator's of this show as well. It's not bad for a first time creator. I don't know if it will make it past season 1 or 2 in this day and age but I personally am enjoying it. It won't be everyone's cup of tea.

I'd say give it a shot, if you don't like it, move on.

The canned laughter happens even when nothing funny happens, which is most of the show. I might watch another few episodes if it were not for the laugh track. When will the networks realize we don't need or want canned laughter. Film in front of a studio audience or just leave the laughter for us at home.

Additionally I found the characters annoying and the TikTok scene were annoying. I think they must have decided to add the laugh track because they knew the show itself was not funny. Watching a drunk father try to get back into a relationship with his daughter is not funny. But the show is also not good as a drama. Just all around disappointing. The actors could do better than this.

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.
