Lopez

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.

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.

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...

"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"!

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!
