It smells like something that’s been tested in focus groups to within an inch of its life. Read full review

Williams and Lopez are certainly capable of churning this stuff out and cashing in before the Hollywood sun sets on them. Just don’t expect much, if any, craftsmanship. Read full review

The series needs more brains--and more authenticity. Read full review

Michael Starr

Mar 3, 2014

The sitcom is cookie-cutter and one-dimensional--with thinly written characters and, most notably, a hyperactive laugh track that’s really grating. Read full review

Jeff Korbelik

Mar 27, 2014

The punchlines are predictable, with jokes about weight, graying hair and sexting. Read full review

Allison Keene

Mar 6, 2014

While most of the interactions feel canned, or are just cheap jokes about Anglo versus Mexican culture, there are occasionally a few moments that break forth with genuine humor, mostly thanks to Trejo and Zayas. Read full review

The number of penis jokes are but one indication that Saint George is only concerned with making sure that everyone in America has an equal opportunity at making terrible television. Read full review

This show is great! I'm not sure why there has been a lot of negative comments here, I assure you, this is one of the few places there is! Look at other places and reviews, you'll see how much people really like it! Or better yet, watch a few episodes..............you'll really enjoy it!

I must say, this show was very funny, I believe most of the negative critic given were from people who enjoy clean comedy. If you like Funny mexican/racist comedies, or any of Seth Rogen/James Franco/Danny McBribe, Or dave chappelle, I think you would enjoy this show, even though I think isI must say, this show was very funny, I believe most of the negative critic given were from people who enjoy clean comedy.

This is what you get when you take just about every generic sitcom trope you can think of and cram them into an almost humorless show. The plot of the episodes seem to get crappier with each passing one. The only good thing about the show outside of the rare laugh is Danny Trejo. He playsThis is what you get when you take just about every generic sitcom trope you can think of and cram them into an almost humorless show. The plot of the episodes seem to get crappier with each passing one. The only good thing about the show outside of the rare laugh is Danny Trejo. He plays the only character who is actually tolerable. Outside of Lopez and Trejo the rest of the supporting cast is worthless. The ex-wife and son character are just plain dull and contribute nothing in the form of humor. The mother character is just all around horrible. I get that there have been a lot of sitcoms that featured a tough love sort of mother, but here they forgot to add any sort of love. This means that the mother character is just an absolutely mean character who's very presence on the show is repulsive.

Make no mistake this is not a good sitcom. The rare laughs it does bring feel forced, which is both disappointing and shocking considering the cast it has. It may get better one day as time progresses, but I won't be sticking around to see if it does. This is one sitcom that can be painful to watch, and because of that I can't recommend it.… Expand

A truly mindless and formulaic sitbore assembled by a committee of corporate morons. This would be a really good time for GL, and the executives responsible, to reevaluate their career choices.

Incredible someone put this old dried up racist pandering scumbag back on the air. Garbage in garbage out. With all the people in the industry that are putting things together this is the best thing they could green light. What a joke.

I didn't laugh once. I didn't even smile. As a latino, I'm upset that this is what I have to watch on a major network. No latino writers on the show.

As a latino, I'm upset that this is what I have to watch on a major network. No latino writers on the show. The episode I watched ("Hit Me With Your Best Shot") had the following joke: George finding his mother in the living room watching a telenovela tells her he wants to watch the Lakers game on TV. She responds by saying, "If you want to watch a bunch of black guys running around, go down to the corner liquor store and throw a dollar in the parking lot." Think about it...it's 2014 and somebody got paid to write that. Somebody then read it or heard it and approved it for the script. Incredible. Oh here's another nugget: George tells his "son": "Latinos make good boxers because their mothers were abusive." There you go America...latinos hate blacks and our mothers beat us when we were young. That just about sums us up...according to the two white dudes who wrote the episode: Michael Davidoff & Bill Rosenthal. Shame on George Lopez. I'm not even sure I'm supposed to be watching this show. I don't think they're trying to appeal to me. I truly think this is written for some white dude so that he can laugh at latinos and blacks and feel good about himself...just like the two dudes who wrote this episode: Michael Davidoff & Bill Rosenthal.… Expand
