House of Buggin'

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!!!!

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.

House of Buggin', staring John Leguizamo, was proof of the importance of advertisment. If you weren't living in NY, Miami, or LA most of your life, the show might have been alien to you. Even so, you couldn't help but smile at the spoof of Ricki Lake, featuring a verbal exchange between 'Fidel Castro' and 'Gen. Manuel Noriega.' I often looked forward to "Iggy & Loco's 'Totally True Urban Legends.'"

Other hilarious skits bore titles such as WomYn; Vogu-E; a skit where the show's actors enlist in "Big Brothers" who bully the kids they're assigned to, as well as a dramatic re-telling of a 'true' story where Rap music turns an All-American boy into a gun toting, brutal gangsta and a 'vice-versa' story where John Leguizamo's character is kidnapped by Hasidic Jews and converts (during the blindfolded/smell-test, he guessed everything that was put under his nose to be a pork food product--hehehe!). An entertaining slam of everything that has anything to do with inner-city life.

I have fond memories of this show, and am saddened by it's short life. Hopefully, reruns will one day grace Comedy Central.

I was so happy when House of Buggin was first introduced on Television. It was great to see another Latino comedy show that I truly enjoyed and haven't been so proud to see a Latino comedian since Fredy Prinze on Chico and the Man. I haven't seen these shows on DVD, but I would be the first in line to purchase them. I was smart enough back in 1995 to record these shows. Now my teenage daughters have enjoyed them and we quote the shows all the time. These shows brought more laughter into our home. House of Buggin was truly on the edge. The characters were hilarious. Even though John Legizamo made fun of our heritage, it was tastefully done and the best thing he brought out was the fact that as Latinos, we make fun of ourselves all the time which made it real. I would recommend them to anyone. I say GOOD job John, your are truly a TALENT! BRAVO!

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.
