George is a typical blue collar worker who makes factory parts for powers brothers aviation when he is promoted to manager and now has to manage a wacky crew that will have you in stitches.Never forgetting where he came from George Lopez always incorporates a good work ethic, his Hispanic roots and being a good father and spouse.The homes are recurring themes about his abusive past with his mother Benny, his wife Angeie who gets upset when he forgets special occasions, his two kids being bratty or need guidance and Ernie his bumbling best friend that can't find a date.It helps ground the show in reality by showing that not everyone can be like the Cosbys and have problems that can last a lifetime.The plots are refreshing following his teenage daughter Carmen for many years as she dealt with boyfriends and entering high school and later on focusing on rich cousin Hedonic getting used to the simple life.Many of the plots were based on real life occurrences like George having an abusive grandmother and having disputes with Lusha that lead to her departure.The music, camera angels, wacky caste and story lines made it the top entertainment show for ABC for six years.It still runs on reruns on TV land if you want to catch this incredible show. It only lasts for half an hour and you'll breeze right through it.10/10

Yes, it's over the top, yes it's a bit clichéd and yes, Constance Marie is a total babe and worthy of seeing again and again! The jokes and gags might get old and repetitive after a while but the show's still fun to watch. Since it's a family show the humour is toned down and the writers have incorporated family values and ideals in between the gags.George Lopez is funny. Don't take him seriously and the show's a winner. I'm sure he didn't intend his character to be serious or a paragon of virtue. His outbursts and shouts of glee are hilarious...I do have to say that the one big, dark, bitter spot is Benny. I hate the character...so much so that anytime she's on for more than 30 seconds I mute the TV just so I don't have to hear her. There is nothing funny about her dialogue or her jokes. As a mother she has to be the worst out there and I am just shocked and surprised that George, as the character, would stand by such a deplorable person for so long.Even so anytime I get ticked off at seeing Benny I think to myself: seeing her is a lot better than having to watch the Bill Engvall Show. Now there's a bad sitcom...

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 really like this show. That is why I was disappointed to learn recently that George Lopez is a racist, and that he fired Masiela Lusha off the show, simply because he discovered that she wasn't a Latino emigrant, but was an emigrant from Albania. I learned this from people on the show. She was really one of the better parts of the show, and thus, to learn that even among those who you would think would be sensitive to racism, that they can also hate someone, just because of the country where they were born, is really disappointing.
