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.

This show was awesome! Hilarious, fun, and smart! I miss it, we really needed more.
Lopez plays himself in a show much like Entourage. The shows centers around Lopez (this show's Vincent Chase) with his gang: Manolo (Turtle) the side-kick driver, Olly the social media focused agent, and Moronzio the comedian-friend.
The first season is honestly has lots of issues. The comedy echos beats from Curb Your Enthusiasm, where Lopez plays a selfish jerk that induce moments of cringe or laughter, but isn't done as nearly as well Curb.
However, the second season and near the end of season one the show gets much better. The characters start to show more depth that they aren't these people around each other for the sake of convenience, but they have some actual warmth for each other. George's character softens, so, he isn't so unlike-able. The plot lines also get better by adding more current events around the entertainment industry and add interesting side-characters that help create interesting situations like Hector, Olly's sister, and Coco.
The shows also promotes ideas of diversity in a way that isn't preachy, but more real which is a real feat. The review score would be higher, if not for pretty weak first season. Otherwise, the show seems to be getting better and better, lets hope they can sustain it.

George Lopez has had several tv shows before this one. On his first attempt, he had a good run playing a family man in the George Lopez Show, but here Lopez plays himself. I was surprised to find a good written show and a fresh take on having George as the lead role. I wasn't too sure what I was getting into before the first episode, but I'm glad I watched. There is nothing overly innovative here that's for sure;it's just Lopez being Lopez. If that is bad or good is up to you to decide. As of me, I like it.
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...
