    George Lopez is one of the funniest comedians of all time

    hide show

    I think that George Lopez is by far one of the most funniest comedians of all time. I loved his sitcom "George Lopez" and I love his talk show "Lopez Tonight". I never miss an episode of "Lopez Tonight" and I've seen every single episode of his sitcom "George Lopez". I also like George Lopez because you can tell that he cares about the kids that's why he has done movies such as "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl", "The Spy Next Door", "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", "Marmaduke", and his upcoming movies "Rio" and "The Smurfs". George Lopez will always be my favorite comedian of all time and I wish I meet him. It would be an honor to meet him. He might say jokes that will offend people but that's what makes him hilarious so if you people hate George Lopez, don't take him for granted. His sitcom is hilarious and his talk show is now cancelled are all hilarious. Every joke he says is good and whenever he talks about his childhood and say what funny things happen in his time... that also cracks me up. So yeah, if you want to watch a very good and hilarious comedian than this guy is the one for you. George Lopez will always be #1 in my opinion and nothing can ever replace that. Overall, I am a huge George Lopez fan. 10/10

    i think i just fell in love....o.O hide show

    George Lopez has got to be one of my fav actors! When I first watched his show on Nick at Nick I thought oh no another bad sitcom. I judged the show to quickly because after a few episodes I fell in love! George Lopez=awesomeness! I really enjoy watching on George Lopez at night! This show is not like those bad humor poorly acted sitcoms networks throw out. This show deserves its fame but not to be cancelled!!!!! ABC made a huge mistake there. Every episode is clever and witty and lol worthy and I fall in love with the characters every time! Theres just something about this show thats unique, with the actors, the interesting plots, and storylines. I love that George Lopez is a show about latinos! Most of my friends are hispanic and I think its cool to see a show not about some white family. Its weird because I'm white and I've found myself in love with George Lopez! =P

    anywhoos, i love george lopez!!!

    peace out XD

    Great show, but just some suggestions! hide show

    My family really loves the show, there really is not any distinguished family shows out in TV Land; however, GLO is a fantastic surprise for a reality/comic amusing combination. I just so happen to have a 13 YO son and a 15.75 YO daughter that glue their eyes to the TV when GLO is on. When it comes to Max; my wife of 23 years, would like to see him respect his parents more, it portrays high morals for kids his age. The fifteen YO daughter on GLO is way out there in "get out of my house land", she is pushing the envelope for minimal respect concerning her parents, almost to the point of not watching the show. However, we know it is just a show, but we would like to see good morals portrayed since my kids are watching. If need be, I would restrict the show with the "V" chip. Please, please do not get me wrong, the show is great, and I would like to see only minor changes. I know that you have to keep the show interesting and up-to-date so please, by all means go for it! My family is not Latino's, yet we have the upmost respect for your race. But please remember, my family (father and mother) and my parents, parents had to go through some very rough times when they were young, etc., no health insurance, no food stamps, very low standards in school, , were affected by wars, and the list goes on. Please do not think that us "Caucasians" had it easy, we suffered as well. Knowing this, please, please keep your show on. You folks have not ruined your welcome, keep your episodes coming and we will keep on watching.
