Same thing just remove Carmen, have Angie and Max be acted by generic white people, add a gangster uncle and it feels similar. At the time, I thought it was good but after reflecting on the years, the show is boring and uninteresting. The humor isn't that great and is pretty dull, especially from the ex-wife and son. Plus I think the Mexican family view here is done more poorly with the fact half of the time I can't get or laugh at their antics unlike I did with George with Benny. Might as well give this one a pass.
Started to watch Episode #1 and turned it off when it got to the part where George's friend emails his p___s to someone and then shows the picture of it to George.
Although the warnings at the beginning of the show said "suggestive content" and "language", we surely did not expect such foul/obscene actions. We are thinking of letting the sponsors know of our decision not to watch the show, or use their products.
We HOPED that this show would be more in line with his previous show "George Lopez", where he was a family man working in a airplane parts manufacturing shop...WITHOUT the extremely heavy suggestive content and language.
George, we're very disappointed and disgusted in the fact that you've lowered yourself and your values to this degree. We can now understand why our younger generations are the way they are, where they curse in front of children or use suggestive sexual advances to young children. And as two of your "previous viewers", it's not as though we are prudes or are not about the same age as yourself. It's because WE have moral standards to uphold. Old time comedians never used this tactic to gain notoriety or laughs, yet they were hilarious and well though of (e.g., Red Skelton, Red Buttons, Danny Kaye, Carol Burnett, etc.).

The concept is a good one. The jokes could work, however.. it doesn't. George Lopez is actually really funny and real. However, the mother I HATE Her, she is not funny, just mean. She does not seam to care about George and I get it, she is suppose to be the mean mother/grandmother George grew up with. It just doesn't work. She should show her meanness should come out of love, instead it comes out as hate towards him and his son. I think if the concept was with Danny Trejo trying to help George raise his child after a divorce maybe. However, the chemistry of the actors with each other is not there. I am such a big fan I hate to give him 3 stars. If they get rid of the mother maybe it stands a chance.
The show is not realistic at all and not that funny! George Lopez is brilliant but this show is a total waste of network space! I don't understand how he can go from a really funny sitcom to this? Its so dry and boring! I like George and Jenn Lyon but this show is dumb! I don't care for the dude that plays his cousin. He is not a good actor! The kid that plays his son. Is he even alive??? I liked Benny as his mother on George Lopez rather than the woman who plays his mother on this show! I know the show has suggestive content in it but texting a picture of a private body part on the show? That's not good TV. Whoever thought incorporating something that stupid and disgusting in the script was OK needs a reality check! George Lopez...You're slipping!
I'm not opposed to raunchy or edgy humor. I love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Archer," two shows which are proudly aggressive in their adult humor. The problem with "Saint George" is that it feels like a traditional 3-camera, live audience family sitcom where someone decided to graft on the most unfunny "adult" jokes into the script even though they just don't fit the style of the show. (Actually, they wouldn't fit ANY show because they are just so immature and lame.)
If George Lopez wanted to do something different than his previous show, he should have made this a single camera show like "Louie" and work with writers who know that style. Or he could have gone the "Modern Family" route, emphasizing the multicultural family. But if he wants to save his current show with the least amount of work, he would do well to ditch the childish "adult" humor and simply embrace the family-safe sitcom style that this show really wants to be. It also appears to be what Lopez's fans want.
