Well darn... guess I’ll just have to watch Mencia for my Latino fix. (he’s already the funniest “brown person” on TV).

I am glad he was canceled. The last time I watched the show he gave a big shout out to La Raza.
That would be like Michael Richards giving a shout out to the KKK.

Kinda funny since all of the Spanish language channels I flip past (and there seem to be more of them everyday) are as “white” as can be.
Bite me, George.

I grew tired of Hispanic “Everybody Loves Raymond” years ago.

What a classless, base comment to make. “TV just got whiter”.
I’m white and I’m insulted by that racist comment.

No bigotry here I guess, since only whites can be bigots.

ABC, he said, has "unceremoniously" canceled his self-titled comedy I take it he would have wanted a "ceremony" ????

I loved George Lopez for the first season or so.
Then, the oldeset daughter.....partly the reason I watched the show as a teen since she was smoking hot.....left.
I watched the show a bit after that, but I could swear somebody else left as well, and it just was not funny anymore.

I shared all of that with Americaevery secret I had. Every personal feeling. Every emotion. Everything was open to the show. And what happens? You shoulda held something back for the next season, always leave them wanting more.

"TV just became really, really white again," he said. George
- Talent is obvious in black and white while color is no remedy for lack of talent.

I used to think George Lopez was sooo funny (Welcome to Yack in the Bock...can I hhhhhelp you), but I recently saw his new HBO special, and it simply wasn’t funny. He has gotten very angry, and where he used to make fun of everyone, this show mainly bashed Bush and pushed illegal immigration. It just wasn’t as funny as his older stuff was. And it seems like he can’t handle the fact that I’m obviously not the only one who thinks so. Come on now, shows get cancelled all the time, but since it’s his, it’s discrimination? Please. Spare me the whine-fest.

I tried to watch the show more than once. It was NOT funny. George should be thankful the show lasted more than one season.
To: kik5150
the first Latino to lead a television series successfully,What about Freddie Prinz?
As for Lopez, I've never watched the show myself, but he is very unappealing to me. He looks angry.

I always thought there were whites and blacks and that everyone was in one of those groups. Growing up in Okla we put asians and latinos into the white group. And with civil rights I think of everyone as equal, blacks and whites, all one race THE HUMAN RACE.
