Lopes vs Lopes

Why in the world do sitcom producers still insist on adding laugh tracks? Are they afraid their shows just aren't funny, that audiences can't judge for themselves? In the case of this particular show, yep. These producers need to check out Abbott Elementary and Young Sheldon, shows that are huge hits that don't need laugh tracks. (A big mystery there is why Chuck Lorre continues to produce other sitcoms that are still plastered with those dreaded tracks).

I tried to get my teenage granddaughters interested in Lopez vs Lopez. They watched about ten minutes of the pilot and said no way, we hate laugh tracks.

All that said, I still like this show, even though my husband doesn't for the reason I keep harping on.

It's really a remake of one of Lopez's older shows, but modernized in a way that doesn't feel like it was dumbed down and/or condescending. It's not gonna be anyone's favorite show, but it's worth watching for a good laugh here and there.

The main things I think they do really well with are references to his old shows, and the fact that George really let's the other cast members shine. It's definitely still a George Lopez show, but the side characters are fleshed out pretty well and tend to be the real highlights.

Bonus points for any show that has Rita Moreno guest star in am episode, that woman looks INCREDIBLE.(the last bit was admittedly just to hit the minimim character requirement)

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.

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.

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.
