As an African-American 50 year old woman, I am pissed that they took GL show off. I loved the humor and all the characters. What a shame!! We talk about diversity, but it's still all about one race and the rediculous interest and humor of that culture.

Response from: Eliane (Check me out!)

Well, I can't say you're wrong. Although I'm not sure this particular case - the GL show - was really about race, the supremacy of the "white culture" above all the others is a sad fact.

The George Lopez show being canceled has sadened his fans; not only the Hispanic fans, but everyone who watches the show. In response to Dawn Ross: Ms. Ross, I don't see anyone getting upset with the historically "African-American" centered shows that are on TV not being "diverse". I also take offense to your comment about the "ridiculous interest and humor" of our culture. Our culure, the Hispanic culture, has brought many great things to this country. Diversity does mean that a TV show should have at least one of every ethnic "figure". Most TV shows are a vehicle for money. Money from commercials, money from advertisers, money from marketing and magazine articles and games and toys, etc. The George Lopez show finally broke through the ceiling that we Hispanics have lived under for centuries. Hispanic families, namely, Mexican-Americans have been living in this country before it was the U.S. Our ancestors have been door mats for too long. George tried to lift up us as something more than drug dealers, gang members, maids, waiters and wetbacks and his show gets canceled without warning and without reason. Hispanics have nothing on TV that represents US. Is that fair, is that the American way? Obviously, it is.

Articles/Blogs such as these would only be written by a person who is not Latino/a. It was canceled due to racism. They want all T.V in America to be White.

Response from: Yvette Holloway (Check me out!)

I a certainly upset that the show was canceled. It gave me a sense of sheer joy knowing that an Hispanic was covering the television market. He connected with the Mexican-American culture and I could relate to quite a few things he said in his shows. His one-liners cracked me up! As for Dawn Ross' blog, I am not picking on you, girl, but next time try to spell check your input. You spelled RIDICULOUS wrong. That's how you're supposed to spell it.

Boo, Hoo, his show got cancelled, GOOD! A lot of people got sick of his racism. Lopez is a bigot and was canned because white people got sick of watching somebody that disrespects the country that made him rich. His HBO special glorified DUI's and laughing at the E Coli from Californian farms. The fact they he and others are playing the race card just highlights their own racism. If you think George Lopez got cancel because of his race, then you need to go to school and get an education.

Hector, I've wrote a post about your comment: http://www.latinaviva.com/50226711/non_sense_opinion_about_the_george_
lopez_show_cancellation.php
Yvette, thanks for your comment. :) Mark, you're being aggressive, and there's no need to offend people like that. "White people" my a*s! As I've said, I don't know if the show was canceled because of racism, and everybody is entitled to their opinions. But people like you, who thinks they can insult others because they don't share your opinion, just make the world a worst place.

I love Mr. Lopez. Perhaps he should have the show in Southwest Detroit or the Fox in Detroit. There is huge fan base there. He would get a great turn out. GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! George

Response from: Derek (Check me out!)

28Jun07-I was hoping to find that enough people got pee'd off enough that the network would reconsider. George Lopez is seriously a comic genius. I love this guy. Latino? Latina? White? Brown? who freak'n CARES!!! I'm sick of this racism. WHEN will people just get over themselves and realize, that we are ALL humans on this planet... case closed! As for George, my friend, please let us know what we can do and how we can do it... to get your show back on. And for those so concerned about who is what? No, I’m not Latino. I’m just a guy, who loves people. I especially love the warmth I receive from my Latino friends and family (yes, family). Hey, I even learned Spanish! Los quiero muchisimo! ;)

Response from: marie (Check me out!)

I will certainly miss the laughter my husband and family shared watching the show. I'm sure everyone has his/her own favorite show and can relate to it because of their culture similarities. The show gave us comfort because we could relate to it. All of us at one point has or had a show I'm sure within our own culture or standards that we watched because we could relate to it. I tell you I miss Good Times, Sanford and Son, Eight is Enough, Threes Company, Cheers, Seinfield,and Friends etc. The George Lopez show I will miss more because I actually got to see more of my culture which I never saw in other shows for an actual full 30 minutes. It really feels good to see how some of us display our feelings the same way as George does. This feeling can never be taken away from me.(despite the cancellation) Good Luck George and staff you made an impact on my life and I'm certain in other people as well.

Response from: marylduquette (Check me out!)

G.lopez show was watch by diversity of people who enjoyed good comedy. It cnnected us with some of his experience thatrriminded us of similiar humourous incidents that we have also experience. I'm sorry to say that this cancellation sounds more like a personal vendication.The show had the audience,capital was being marketed,so, what's up with that? We all are children of God,it doesn't matter what our skin color is.Judge and be judge.

Response from: Matt (Check me out!)

Its no fair! I loved the George Lopez show...Why do they always cancel the good Hispanic shows such as "The Brothers Garcia" and now "George Lopez" ...makes me mad!!

Response from: Panhof (Check me out!)

First I loved THE GL show... But instead of WHINEING like a baby and calling the race card why not put his money where his mouth is. Produce it himself and take it to cable. Wimp!

Response from: Eliane (Check me out!)

Derek, you're the sweetest guy, I love your comment!
Marie, let's hope that in the future we'll have other good Latino shows! :)
Maryl, you're so right!
Matt, I believe this is changing. The Latin public is growing so much that is going to be impossible to keep ignoring it.
Panhof, despite your rude tone, that's a very good idea. :)

White People For The Most Part Have No Problems With Mexicans Or Latinos...I Have Read A Few Post's Posted By Whites Stating That George Lopez Is A Racist. How Can You Be Worried About One Mexican When You Have Every Single Black Comedian From 20 Years Back To The Present Basing There Whole Show Or Stand up On Disrespecting White People....Were is All The Whites In Rage About That....Black People Have Lil Or No Respect For Whites. Wake Up, Think About It Have You Every Heard One Black Comedian Not Start Or Finish His Or Her's Jokes WithOut Attacking White People??? I Loved The G. Lopez Show And I Didn't Find Anything He Said About White People Half As Bad As Black Sidcoms!!

Response from: Derek (Check me out!)

11Oct07-Well, not much on here about getting George back on. Saw the first shows of Caveman. All I can say is ... WTF!!! SERIOUSLY???? Cancel George L for that show??? I wonder who the actual moron is that came up with that lame idea and such a stupid show.... geeze. BRING GEORGE BACK! (well, that's if George wants to come back, that is.) :)

Response from: Aaron (Check me out!)

Well, all I can say is I was surprised that the GL show was cancelled, I mean being that it was on Fridays & usually Friday & Saturdays are days where high ratings in any show are practically unheard of
And being that the GL was on for 5 years I feel that ABC should of at least given the GL producers a heads up to at least have a decent send off.
With that said, I can tell you that I never watched the show, & I really never cared too much for George Lopez comedy, that's just me.
As far as Latinos on TV, well there really has not been a strong presence on TV as far as latinos go, I can sit & count show after succesfull show & really not see a latino presence in any of them, or a very limited one at that.
I mean, ER, how long has that show been on the air? you mean to tell me that in their universe no one latino has graduated to become an MD?, there are plenty of Nurses though, I'm not an avid watcher of the show, but I can't recall any. In Smallville, there are no hispanic Superheroes, I love Law & Order, but Damn! I just cant recall one hispanic lawyer, the BAR exam in their timeline must be a Bi*@#, CSI Miami, well let me not even go there but I don't know too many Irish in Miami & I've been to Flanningan's a plenty here in Miami.
What I'm trying to say is that unfortunately the majority of long, succesfull shows, the main players have been, are & who knows if always will be white.
Out of all the networks out there, the one that I can honestly say provides an attempt, to give a platform for hispanics is ABC.
Jimmy Smits was awsome in NYPD Blue, so was Esai Morales, they have a decent hit with Ugly Betty (from a COLOMBIAN Novela...YAY!)Hurley is a main Character on Lost,& they had George Lopez, So I dont think that racism was in any way part of the cancellation, but as I mentioned earlier a proper send off would of been nice.
CBS is making a nice gesture with Cane, but I just don't see this show going far, even with the talented cast they have, but if the show tanks is partly due to A) the writers & B) us latinos for not making an attempt to support a show by hispanics for hispanics.

I love the GL show!! I am very disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I don't blame George Lopez for thinking what he thinks about the cancellation of his show! It was a great show!

Response from: Alberto sanchez (Check me out!)

hey GL show is the best latino comedy i've ever seen and i'm not saying it was racism but there's a high posibility trust me i should know i'm latino as you can see,since the cancelled the show on abc i watch it on nick@nite it's true their trying to make america all white again and you wanna know something? it is true because of the new f-ing law they put in AZ that latino's can't get jobs so we'll go back to mexico,now you think they're trying to make america all white? well i think that should prove George Lopez's point no offence but most of u racist pieces of crap are the people i really hate on earth

You would expect America to be the country of all possibilities but this was long ago, now it's just the a country of terrorism and hate.

Response from: David (Check me out!)

First of all i love the GL show. I've only been watching it for a few months on nick at nite but thats because i'm in the military and for the longest i had no cable in the barracks. I don't know what the reason for canceling the show. If it was because of race then that's pitiful beacuse us Hispanics has done a lot for this country. I'm Puerto Rican and i can relate to this show. I just hope that the show goes on air again.

Response from: Timbo (Check me out!)

Its really sad that ABC cant see a "DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH" George Lopez and crew were and are about the funniest close to home show that I have ever seen. My family and I greatly miss the GL show. Please bring it back.

i love ur show is funny and at the same time it is sad the best part that i liked in oneof ur show was that when u went 2 chase ur doughers boyfriend (lol)

Response from: Tawnee (Check me out!)

what kind of meaning can a show about cavemen have that the George Lopez show gets canceled. I sure hope ABC is reading this. My family and I watch the show every week, and it is our favorite show. This show isn't only entertaining, it also has meaningful episodes that deal with real life situations. It would be such a miracle if the show came back. There is absolutely now reason for replacing The George Lopez Show with a cavemen show!!!!

Response from: Ada (Check me out!)

This show used to be one of my favourites, would always watch it the same time every week, would be like my own personal drug treatment after the long week of work. Then it suddenly stopped and has taken me a while to remember to search for why. I know the show wasn’t as successful as it could have been but still it’s a shame great shows get taken off air just because they might not make enough money. As for accusations of racism this is a real shame. I mean, it might be racist to accuse someone of being racist?

America is a place where Black people can call White people "WHITE"..but White people can't call Black people "BLACK".
How racist. The earlier generation of whites where legally beat down to accept this hipocracy...but the new ones are OVER it. Cry the "Race" card, to get a Check, a Job, a passing Grade, or out of Jail and we "know" YOU are the real HATER. Who ever heard of anybody moving to Afro/Latin (non Spanish) Countries for a better Life and Income!!

I HATE THE SHOW WAS CANCLED. I LOVE IT. IT IS NOT RACIAL. IF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HER IT DON'T WATCH IT. GEORGE LOPEZ IS MY FAVORITE SHOW!!! EVERY NIGHT MY WHOLE FAMILY SITS DOWN IS THE FAMILY ROOM TO WATCH IT!!!

Response from: CC (Check me out!)

I had really liked the George Lopez show on TV and had thought Lopez was a really funny guy. I like that a Hispanic family was put on TV. I don't think the show was canceled due to it being about a Latino family and not being a "white" show, I mean hey, the Cosby show was on for years because it was just a very good show and Bill Cosby an incredibly funny man who reached the masses with his universal humor about family.

I just recently watched portions of the HBO George Lopez stand up and my whole image and likeability of him was blown. He was way out of line I thought. I mean I love people of all races. His attitudes and bigotry and basically hatred that he was spewing out really turned me off. I had no idea the man had that much animosity against white people, or Caucasian I like to say. There were a few things I thought were funny in the show, but all in all I thought his attitude was way out in left field and I wondered if it might hurt him professionally as I watched it, and do speculate if his horrible attitudes he displayed did not help contribute to the demise of his show. Attitudes and tirades like his does not help draw people of different races together that's for sure. I mean this is America, a melting pot, we are not all Latino, all white, all black, etc. etc., we are different races all come together in one land. There's nothing wrong with having pride in your heritage and culture, but the horrible things and hatefulness and well, outright racisim he was projecting forth was not good at all, and not funny.

Response from: fernando (Check me out!)

This show simply brought my family together everynight, we recorded several of the shows. I have to thank GL and the cast for bringing my family back together and make us laugh, We miss you George and we hope to see your show again. in the mean time we will go to one of your stand up shows.
