George Lopez has never been funnier. A fantastic comedy that provides nonstop laughter and stays true to itself from the first episode to the last.

While the plot waivers at times with storylines that don't always come to the most satisfying conclusions, it never takes away the comedic charm of this family sitcom. Not to mention, George Lopez is not afraid to tackle real world issues and provide real life lessons in a way not seen in any other comedy at the time. Ultimately, this is a truly revolutionary series in American television.

And, if you never woke up at 3am to the beats of "Low Rider" then you haven't truly lived.

Sabas que... George Lopez remains an all-time classic. 7/10.

George Lopez is a funny man even without the sitcom. The first episodes I saw of this too often made jokes at the expense of his mom. As I have watched this more, there has been more & more variety. No one on the cast is really safe from his wit now.

It seems to me as this season has progressed that George is getting more comfortable with the family sitcom Dad role. At first he wasn't, but he is getting More & more into a groove. This makes both him & the shows progressively funnier. They had added a couple of characters for George to play off this year too. His wife's dad is getting more & more involved in the plot.

His mom is still there, but not as central as past seasons. I think it is prudent to say with George's sense of comic timing, & ABC's lack of good sitcoms, George Lopez has a good chance of being here on ABC long after George W. Bush.

George Lopez has a reputation as a washed-up, one-trick-pony kind of comedian. His shows keep getting canceled, so you'll really only see him as a voice actor in bad kids movies these days. But I'll always maintain, if nothing else, The George Lopez Show was comedy gold.

I'm terrible at describing humor. I just found the show to be very funny, with natural humor. It doesn't feel too far off from what funny people say in real life. Some jokes have quick setups, and blunt, hilarious punchlines.

But a certain success of the series is not its humor, but its conflicts. The worst part about sitcoms is how insignificant their plots are, and how petty their characters. Eventually, many characters will devolve into caricatures of their former selves. The George Lopez Show gives actual characters actual problems. Financial issues, marriage problems, rebellious kids, strained parental relationships. These are far more relateable than, say, worrying your boyfriend watches shark porn. You're nervous for them, and are soooo relieved when they make it through the rain. And they never let the drama take over the comedy.

Comedy is too subjective for me to ever give a hard recommendation. But I'd say give this show a shot. I found the comedy and drama perfectly balanced, and the show is consistently good during its run. I don't think I'll find a sitcom as good anytime soon.

I love this show! Lopez is a very clever comic, who can deliver a punch line sometimes simply with a facial expression. They did a great job in casting his family and friends, especially his mother. As with most shows named after a stand-up comedian, the primary intent is to give Lopez a vehicle to deliver his comedy. But they surpassed this by casting several very funny costars who can get good laughs on their own. I hope that there are more people like me who appreciate this humor.

It's a good show, and I find it funny. Finally the bad Latin stereo types are over! ¡Gracias, Señor Lopez! I love this show, and I just started watching it about three months ago. The whole concept about a Latin family TV show really amazed me. I am surprised that finally Latinos have a good shot to be on TV. This show is probably one the best I've seen, it's funny, heartwarming, touchy, and nice.

when i saw commercials for this i was thinking "NO WHAT HAS NICK AT NITE DONE!" because it was taking up "fresh prince" slots. well, i still love the fresh prince. but george lopez is a surprisingly good show. i love how not-stereotypical benny is. carmen is a pretty good character, its really funny to see how stupid and overemotional she can be sometimes. i feel bad for the guy who plays max, he looks much younger then he actually is! but max is a fun character, and acted well. and yeah, angie is a little stereotypical, but she has her funny moments. ha ha george does have a big head! nah but he can be really good too. funny show! it definitely should be on more often then home improvement.

Great acting, stupid funny, and good life lessons.

I'm running out of shows to watch and started watching this while I was in hotel room in Florida this past February. I started watching in earnest a couple of months ago. Hispanic or otherwise, this is a good show that handles domestic problems such as marriage, raising kids, coming to grips with a less than perfect mother well. Sandra Bullock was instrumental in bringing this show on tv. 6 years on air shows that it obviously was successful enough to stay on air for that long. The series has a satisfactory ending unlike many other shows.

This show has a lot to really like about it - the acting is terrific, the relationships are very well flushed out, the characters (and actors) are likable, and the show plots are creative.

I especially like how they incorporated the his mother and her father bit into the show, and the focus on the kids and their lives is great as well.

The only plot line I didn't like as much was later on in the show when the Carmen character had moved out and they had the selfish niece move in to take her place.

Overall though I can't see how anyone would dislike this show. I've watched every episode multiple times and haven't worn it out yet. Definitely one of the best family sitcoms this century.

I started watching this show on Nick at Nite. It's pretty funny, and for me, better than Lopez's stand up. I have seen his stand up comedy live, but it is not as enjoyable as the show. At least in the show, there are elements of other aspects to life rather than just animosity towards white people.

The show is good because it is realistic to many situations. George is a self-made factory manager, who married a loving but sometimes neurotic wife, Angie, has a troubled and quite spoilt daughter, Carmen, and a gullible, somewhat spoilt younger son, Max. Many things happen over the course of the show, giving it spice and edge. Issues such as teen runaways, dyslexia, gang violence, drugs, alcoholism, child abuse, unemployment, and racism are addressed. Besides the racism, the rest is set well. It also has its comedic moments.

I understand the pain of Mexicans. I am not white, but like I said, I have seen his stand up. Three hours of his rambling hatred towards Caucasians made me quite nauseas. Doesn't this guy ever give up? What does he know about immigration patterns, anyway? He was born in America, and maybe his childhood was abusive (I'm switching back to the show, though it's true in real life) he turned out okay. I am half-Arab, and my people have been denied immigration because of 9/11. He acts as if Latinos are the only ones that undergo racism. Arabs are defined as terrorist because of a few group of renegades who are insane.

Sorry about the political situation. Racism is wrong, and sometimes the jokes are funny just to lift burdens, but there is a limit. Lopez passed that limit ages ago. Good show, but he might want to get some new material for his stand up other than his averse disposition towards white people.

I watched this show and i simply didn't find it funny at all. It might have been the first episode. Lately i realize ABC is playing a lot of stupid shows nowadays and is going down as a station. All the characters on this show are pretty bad actors, but even if they were good the jokes and script are pretty horrible and would still bring the show down. I would say that I believe this show will be cancelled, but seeing as how ABC is doing pretty horrible for quality of shows they are playing, they might just keep this one simply because it's average compared to them.

Being stationed overseas meant we watched the AFN let us watch, and this wasn't one of the shows.

When Peacock channel came out, I started watching it and can't get enough of it!

Carmen and her complete and utter disrespect for her parents makes me a little nuts. Max being ignored so much by the family because of Carmen and her daily (hourly) drama means the parents have to focus entirely too much on her and very little on Max. Angie constantly undermining George in front of the kids is definitely no bueno.

But this is a funny show. A really funny show.

I really like the byplay of George and Benny. The love/hate thing they have going on is hilarious, but also touching when they come together to talk about things from the past and Benny lets him know she actually does love him and is proud of him. She's also quick to point out to him she's never been the kind of parent who coddled her child. The show about the earthquake is probably the best example of this.

I'm glad I found this show recently and have completely enjoyed watching this show.

Now George Lopez Show is not a bad. It is worth watching a few times. But what I think is the best part of the show is Belita Moreno who plays Bennie, the mother of George Lopez. Belita Moreno is certainly worth watching out for ever since she played a secretary in the television film, Death Benefit. I am glad that she is getting recognition in her own right but I think she should get her own show when the George Lopez Show is over. There is something talented and brilliant in Belita's underrated performance. She really has the comedic perfect timing as the gambling, fun-seeking grandmother, mother,and mother-in-law. Bennie is not your typical granny making cookins in the kitchen. She works, gambles, drinks, and likes to have a good time with her friend, Gina, played by the wonderful Elmarie Wendel. She and George are great together with their exchanges. Belita is one to watch for in this series. It's why I watched her in the first place. As Bennie, she is always entertaining and delivers her lines as naturally and wonderfully to George's straight face. I didn't care for the opening segment. I think it's silly with everybody jumping up and down. I think with better writing, it could be a better improved show. We'll just have to wait for the upcoming season.

I watch the show every week - my friends & I at a real airplane parts factory love the show. George and Angie (Constance Marie) come across very well as a Dad and Mom. Grandma (Belita Moreno) comes through with razor sharp comments - that catch you laughing when you least expect it. His friends and bosses at the fictitious Powers Bros Aviation are all well cast and contribute heavily to the show.

His children - there is simply not enough about them in the show. This includes a shining new star -- Masiela Lusha as his daughter Carmen. She is an `A' list actress in my book - and is likely to be seen & heard long after the George Lopez show has made a long & successful run. Whether Carmen is the subject of the episode or is just in show for a few lines - Masiela makes her talents known. The lines are not just delivered, but delivered First Class - with great expressions, smiles, frowns, smirks, tears, etc. She makes her character unusually believable.

George & his Team - the entire Cast, the Writers, the Producers, Camera, Sound, and the many others make this show work, a show that is not just portraying a Latino family in Los Angeles, but also the family of an aerospace worker -- it portrays a typical family who struggles from week to week trying to make financial ends meet and yet maintain the health & happiness of the family unit. This show lets us laugh a little at ourselves, including the celebrations & predicaments. This show is not just about a Latino family - it is about a lot of us.

ABC has a wonderful show with George Lopez - I think its here for a while -

Watch the show !

If you are not going to be home - record it, but definitely see it !

Today is one of my all time favorite shows to review. George Lopez. First, the cast of course. There's George, a father of 2 who is the manager of a factory. Angie, the wife who thinks pretty much everything George does is wrong. Ernie, George's best friend. Max and Carmen, the kids who get into a lot of trouble. Vic, Angie's dad who doesn't like George that much until season 3 or 4. And the funniest character is Benny, George's mom. Yeah, your basic sitcom characters, but they took the liberty to put some essential characters in there to make the show funnier. I've seen some reviews of people bashing the show saying its racist, but George or anyone doesn't make jokes about OTHER RACES, he makes them about HIS RACE. And the jokes, i don't see how they can be hurtful cuz Latinos are awesome, George is just poking a little fun. Let's compare those jokes to the show Everybody Hates Chris, which is an awesome show. They're being poking fun of the other race, which is considered racist. OK back to the show. The plots are sometimes your basic sitcoms, Benny hides something from George, a problem at the factory, or the kids. But all the plots are legitimate. They just revolve around the same thing, like a lot of good sitcoms like Drake and Josh or Malcolm in the Middle. So that wraps it up. George Lopez is a hilarious show, not racist, good plots, good characters. So if you hate the show, just do yourself a favor and die.

I love the George Lopez Show. This particular episode had me laughing a lot. George is always really funny whether it's in his stand-up or on his sitcom. The idea to give Carmen a birthday party with Sea Horse dancers was hilarious. We saw the male dancers rehearsing in the backyard before the party, Mark Meismer, Matt Sergott, Christian Vincent & Steve Bermundo. Later was when we got a great laugh seeing Carmen enjoy her party while the dancers came out in Pink Sea Horse heads. That was the best. I wish George would do another sitcom because I truly feel he is such a gifted comedian. Constance Marie was really good in this episode and great in the movie Selena. What happened to her?

It's hilarious!!! Definitely worth giving it a try, watch at least until the end of season 2!!

Let me start off by saying I actually grew up probably around watching these, in random order on teen nick basic cable probably around 2008-12 and loved it! I recently as as 23 y/o started watching again and man is it funnier then ever!

The acting is actually very well done and has a cast with young - some now stars crew that keeps the show feeling fresh and entertaining.

Season 1 was a test season of 4 episodes that obviously left a mark to continue with a lengthy season 2 filled with high tier comedy!

Honestly I don't know how it's not rated higher, maybe it's comedy isn't for everyone. It definitely feels underrated though!

This show wasn't awful but it wasn't very good, either. It seemed like it was trying to recreate the relatable slice of life esque show that Roseanne had done in the 1990s, but it was never interesting nor relatable enough to come close to hitting that peak. That said, there are worse sitcoms to kick back to, and I enjoyed the relationship between George and his mom. His family, though, not so much.

It's not always enjoyable or funny, but it's watchable.

From the beginning of the show Carmen was there. She was one of the best characters. Why did they get rid of her?! The show not the same as before. Its way worse.

The best episodes were with Carmen in them. You can't replace someone from the beginning! That is like South Park without Kyle or Child's Play without Chucky! It's not right! The niece who replaced her is just, ugh! Awful. She doesn't fit into the storyline at all. She was one of the main characters, and the niece can't replace her. She was an awesome actress. Way better than the niece. Get her back, or you'll lose a TON of viewers.

This show was absolutely terrible. For one George isn't funny, and his kids are snobby little brats. He also treats his mother with no respect. As a Hispanic, I am highly offended by this show and the way the characters are portrayed.

Plus the dysfunctional family thing's been done to death. For once, I want to see something original. What makes this show funny when other shows have done it millions of times? I thought ABC would come to its senses and pull this piece of garbage off the air, but sadly, we're going to have to stomach this until they "jump the shark".

In my opinion, they already did.

I love to watch George Lopez show. Just watch season 5 episode 9 and almost peed my pants laughing!! Benny's chicis eposode!!! Gotta love this show!!

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 can't believe that you don't think this show isn't funny. It is full of rich characters and has loads of heart. The cast are all respectable actors and the scripts take chances and score almost every time. With all the drivel that is on the air, this show is breath of fresh air. I am not Latino, but I don't think its "full of latino cliches". Most of the Latino humor is general, so that everyone can understand and enjoy the jokes. It is in no way offensive and all my latin friends say that it's the most even handed depiction of a latino family ever to hit the air waves. So 3 cheers for The George Lopez Show, may it enjoy a long run. ABC has a winner with the one!

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
