House of Buggin'

When I first viewed this show I had a bad feeling about it.In Living Color had just gone off the air and this was a complete ripoff.I don't think much of John Leguizamo when it comes to comedy.He's got a little bit more going for himself as a serious actor.

I think that one of the worst things Fox ever did was dropping this show. Even obviously country southerners (unlike myself) should have been able to see the humor in this show. Luckily, I actually have a few episodes on tape. John Leguizamo and the rest of the cast took Latin humor and brought it to the mainstream. For that, I am grateful. I only wish Comedy Central would get some sense and PICK THIS UP!!!!

i just want to hear or see this skit again tape it record it save to my computer anything.

That being, the Mexican militant minute where John says" we interrupt your regularly....or tries to say it...scheduled program. i think the other comments i read were correct in saying this show should have not been dropped by fox.

It was a great show he is a fantastic comedian, he has done well in movies, but i do miss him on television.

If anyone has this little bit of TV available please advise how i may obtain it

Thank you Sara

To say that House of Buggin' was an In Living Color rip-off is ridiculous. To go that far, then you'd have to say that In Living Color is/was a rip-off of Saturday Night Live and SCTV. Just because In Living Color was a show made by minorities (which I, myself, am), that doesn't make the idea of their show any more original. Saturday Night Live is mostly watched by whites, In Living Color was mostly watched by blacks, and House of Buggin' was mostly watched by Latinos. Simple. To say it was a rip-off of ILC is just pure ignorance.

Latinos needed a show like this since all you see on TV are Caucasian and Black television shows. And even though there aren't a whole lot of Black television shows, there's still more than what Latinos have. John Leguizamo is a comedic genius, and his timing is well planned and methodical. He's a versatile actor, so he can do both comedy and drama. The same can't be said about the Wayans brothers who are excellent with comedy, just not drama (although we haven't seen them do drama, really).

Anyway, I thought it was a great show and should have lasted longer. Like someone said in another comment, the show wasn't advertised in many cities and it wasn't advertised as much as In Living Color was. Comedy Central should dish out the money and pick up the episodes. I'd definitely watch those again!

John Leguizamo is an amazing and under-rated talent. This show was so funny I was laughing out loud. Having now lived in Europe for three years, I am reminded on each visit home, how bland and "cookie cutter" - esque American TV was/is. I think many people were put-off by having a Latino-based show, and House of Buggin' never really got the chance it deserved. Maybe a lot of people didn't "get" the jokes.

Although I liked In Living Color, there were many skits that I found too slapstick and childish. (I still don't understand how Jim Carrey got to where his is today.)House of Buggin' was a wonderful showcase for John Leguizamo's talent.
