It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I first came upon this show while on vacation last summer. I was in my hotel room, and my family wanted to watch something, so I flipped channels, came upon "George Lopez", and watched 2 episodes. Shortly after the second one, I became obsessed. I love this show and it is not a usual trash sitcom like many other Nick at Nite or ABC pieces of trash!You know a show is good when you cannot choose a "least favorite" character, because they are all so well played. This is definitely one of those shows! George, playing himself, the titular character, whatever you call it, works at an airplane parts factory,Powers Bros. and is manager there. Angie, his loving but flighty wife, sells cosmetics. His teen daughter Carmen and grade-school (and later teen) son Max are more than your typical snot-nosed kids, they add a different dynamic and are not cheesy.His friend Ernie is affable and dumb, but is hilarious in what he does, so are the Powers Bros.,and Angie's dad Vic Palmero, who makes some appearances, but the BEST character on this show is George's drunk, raucous, poker- loving,rude,crude,antagonistic mother, Benny! She delivers unexpected comments that always have wit and zing! I LOVE HER, SHE IS EXTREMELY TALENTED! It makes for a great cast, and, as George would say, Que loco hombre!:) Ps. I am only rating this 9/10 because Carmen left.

This show is awful. How is George wanting the death of his mother funny? This show is terrible. The parents are obviously horrible and the children should be taken to child services. The daughter is a witch with a b and the son is just a complete brat. George isn't funny, especially when he speaks his loud and obnoxious brand of Spanglish. Ernie is a loser, but at least I've chuckled at him a few times, but mainly at how pathetic he is. George's mother, Benny, in an awful, despicable character. Sure, her husband left her, but how anyone can laugh at the way she treated George as a baby is beyond me.Can someone explain to me how George's head being big is funny? It's not even that big! I've moved on from characters because they're too awful and it would take hours for me to write and I, frankly, don't care enough. I do care enough to tell anyone looking at this and wondering whether or not they want to watch this show, that this show is an abysmal excuse for a sitcom, and is not worth your time.I give it 2 starts, because the wife is extremely attractive.

I have been watching this show since I was 14 and I've loved it ever since. I love this show because it's just plain funny! You will enjoy this show a lot because it shows something new and funnier everyday and my favorite part is when Benny always has her last comments on George after every punchline about his fat giant head.*laughs* I would laugh and I'd watch it with my friends at home it'd be like we were watching a funny movie but short. Love George Lopez. Funny, talented,funny,spectacular. This is a cool-funny-family comedy series enjoyable to everyone and you will definitely enjoy it--I did! And if you haven't watched it yet I suggest that you start watching because you wouldn't want to stop watching it. Even though there aren't anymore brand new episodes I still enjoy the re-runs. Still funny. Never wears off. 9/10

I didn't see any of the episodes when they were first run on ABC, but when The George Lopez Show entered reruns, my girlfriend (who's a fan of the show) and I frequently watch them and to me it's one of TV's groundbreaking sitcoms for its predominately Hispanic casting and the avoidance of stereotypes. In some ways, George Lopez resembles The Drew Carey Show, which is produced by the same production company. First Lopez, like Carey plays a fictional version of himself and his mother Benny, brilliantly played by Belita Moreno is somewhat of a female antagonist like Mimi. The show's supporting cast in addition to Moreno is outstanding. Constance Marie has great chemistry as Lopez's wife Angie and Masiela Lusha and Luis Armand Garcia who plays the Lopez's children are destined for success. Let's not overlook Valente Rodriguez as Ernie and Emiliano Diaz as George's father-in-law. Also, Sandra Bullock, who was one of the show's executive producers, appeared in a few episodes as Accident Amy. To me, she resembled an adult female version of Steve Urkel. The one other thing about the show that stood out was the writing. A number of episodes were based on George's personal experiences and the storyline about Lopez being abandoned by his father was base on his real-life situation. ABC shouldn't have canceled the show. It's the best TV show to feature Hispanic performers. not to mention, the winner of several ALMA awards.
