"George Lopez, the first Latino to lead a television series successfully"

Hey! What about Fantasy Island with that 'Roberto 'Corinthian Leather' Montalban guy and that creepy little Tattoo dude whao was always shouting "De Plane! De Plane!"

What about Zorro and Lost in Space? Guy Williams was an Argentinian. Does that count?

Hey George! Here's a news flash for ya: You are obviously not the first Latino to lead a television series and you are not a groundbreaker or Latino TV pioneer. I would have you check with Leo Carillo and Duncan Reynaldo but they are both long gone. That's because their TV show, The Cisco Kid, did what you are falsely claiming to be the first to do. Except they did it in the 1950's.

Born as Armando Catalano at the Fort George area in New York City, an Italian...

That was Zorro and Professor Robinson>

He later emigrated to Argentina.

Another show that I happen to like and yes it is a chick show is “Ugly Betty”. The show centers around a young Hispanic girl.
