P.S. Don't spend so much time in the sun!

George Lopez, the first Latino to lead a television series successfully, isn't laughing. "TV just became really, really white again," he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
He said this two years ago....
TV is so “gay” nowadays....I’m really sick of it...
Boycott it?
Thats another show I’ve never watched.
He needs to swim back home...
That show only furthers the falsehood that George Lopez is funny.
I guess the “first latino” never heard of Freddie Prinze.
P.S. Don't spend so much time in the sun!
What a freaking whiner. Could this guy get anymore self-centered? I knew there was something I didn’t like about him.
What about Ricky Recardo and Lucy?
How can that be? Obamao has been parading his 40% black azz on the toob at least weekly for months - it’s GOT to have raised the average! /sarcasm
I only watch the Discovery CHannel and Animal Planet.
The internet is far more entertaining than TV.
His entire act is accented gibberish with a few lines in Spanish interjected at times he deems comedically expedient. Think “I Love Lucy”
Please, can Geraldo’s gig be next???
May 2007.
So... Freddie Prinze - not latino
Desi Arnaz - not latino
In Freddie case, he was only half Puerto Rican, but I guess being half only counts for some people. Desi Arnaz, however, was 100% Cuban and he and Lucille Ball had to fight the fact that he was "too Latin" to get "I Love Lucy" on the air with him as her husband.
Hey,just because two lesbians were kissing on Flashforward
last nite;it was intergral to the story.(snort)
I saw that episode of “Flashfloward” with the two lesbos kissing. I wanted to barf.
If they had to show that crap, they should have aired it at 10:00 PM instead of 8:00 PM.
Seems to me that there has been a flurry of minorities on TV shows preseeding and following the election . Especially Minorities in Charge. Say what you want but this is a VALID observation . There is also an over abundance of minorities in TV commericals as well. I want to know when WASPS like me will start to get some breaks from now being a minority in this grand ole country. ( Guess I shouldn’t hold my breath )
I hated his show. The mother was such a slimeball...I hate to watch people work out their own therapy through TV role-playing....
Jorge Lopez is also a big supporter of amnesty for illegals.
Can’t stand him.
As for TV being “whiter,” I guess he hasn’t seen all the endless black comedies that air all day long on many cable channels, including the CW.
I love that show, but was pretty amazed they showed that at 8pm. The previews for next week include a pretty graphic (for 8pm) sex scene. Did enjoy the obvious Pelosi mega bitch clone in the Clemente character. It couldn’t have been more obvious who they modeled her after.
...what a racist. His showed sucks...and the only reason its on is because he’s mexican. It is not funny at all.
Hey Georgie, what was the ‘texture’ of those surgeons in the operating room giving you life and a new kidney?
All ‘Whities’...Again?
Like all liberals, history started the day they were born. People who are Leftist have an ego the size of the moon.
That’s very true! I only watch Fox News and some reality shows like “Hell’s Kitchen.” Never saw Lopez’s show, and as a Latina myself, I know I haven’t missed much. I’d rather watch Chef Ramsey rant at his young protegee-wannabes than Lopez being “funny.”
Racists only see race in all parts of their lives.
I occasionally watched his show which was pretty apolitical, then I saw his comedy special where he said alot of angry and offensive things supporting illegal immigration. Never again. His show was watchable only for the 2 hot babes anyway.
“TV just got a lot “whiter””
It also just got better.
Never planned on watchin’ it in the first place.
Every time I turn on TV, there's some feel good piece on how some minority or other has taken advantage of a million dollar grant to learn to get the hell out of his/her own way. I wonder if they'll ever match up their future convenience store videos.
...and a brain the size of a pea.
I thought the Sen Clemente character was modeled after Hillary or Barbara Boxer....LOL! But you’re right, Sen. Clemente did, in fact, have alot of Pelosi’s annoying character traits.....or lack thereof.
The Sen. Clemente character told the FBI official that in her flash forward, she saw herself as president in 6 months.
At the end of last night’s show, the current president (Peter Coyote) announced that Sen Clemente was his choice to replace the deceased previous vice president (who was killed when Air Force Two crashed on October 6th when the entire human race blacked out for 2 minutes, 17 seconds).
The family hour no longer exists in prime time network tv, it hasn’t for over 15 years.
Does Fantasy Island count??
Desi Arnez was a business genius. He with Lucy pioneered the TV sit com as an independent production house. The two of them dictated their terms to the Network and won. To compare this flunky to Desi is rediculous. I believe to this day, I Love Lucy is the historically highest rated show to ever have aired on TV. Further, does this “mexican” think his show will be in re-runs 60 years from now. Doubt it. Never watched the show - because like all of todays sit-coms - they are predictable, patronizing and anti-man. Sometimes I believe they just re-use sit com scripts with new actors. Can’t think of one I have watched in the last 15 years. The last good one was “Malcolm in the Middle”. Outside of that highlight can’t think of any.
I never saw his new show because I just don’t watch those channels and nothing Prime Time. His “family” show was almost on par with “Married With Children.” A bit crass.
Wait, someone gave that idiot a talk show? I can only guess it lasted three episodes. There’s only so many times you can joke about Mexicans running across the border and putting Tapatia sauce on everything before it becomes redundant.
Damn, I forgot to watch FlashForward last night.
We’ve been watching the old “Dresden File” series on Hulu.
I guess I’ll have to watch FlashForward tonight on the computer.
So long as it isn’t two men kissing.
And Star Trek came from Desilu Productions.
Wow, his face looks like rich Corinthian leather!
Yes but Desi Arnez actually had some talent, as an actor, musician, and a producer.
Did not know that. Dammit Spock!
There are just a few shows I really watch anymore on Tv, everything I do watch is pre-recorded except FOX news so I can skip the commercials, the rest of my time is now on the puter and watching Bluray movies, the ones that I did NOT see at the movie houses.
Its too expensive to travel and pay for expensive popcorn so I wait for movies to come out on disc, I will not be a subject of any form of economic stimulus by participating in commercials so that is why I record on my Dishplayer.
And when the internet is gone and TV is a pure propaganda tool then I will get a HAM radio.
To be fair, if I were George Lopez and my show had been cancelled and that stupid overgrown GEICO ad “Cavemen” had been picked up, I’d be sore too.
TV?
That’s the screen with the weather channel on it, right?
Are there other uses for it?
