[An American in Turkiye]

Obama friend and latino mentor George Lopez showed his true colors in May of 2007. Read article for more idiot quotes. I believe his new show comes on soon. Let's all boycott it, shall we?

[Mikey_1962]

He said this two years ago....

[Sacajaweau]

TV is so “gay” nowadays....I’m really sick of it...

[PeteB570]

Boycott it?

Thats another show I’ve never watched.

[Vaquero]

He needs to swim back home...

[domenad]

That show only furthers the falsehood that George Lopez is funny.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I guess the “first latino” never heard of Freddie Prinze.

[Rummyfan]

Hey George, get over yourself. You're just selling soap, and apparently didn't meet your numbers. You have no right to be on television just because you are of Mexican heritage.

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

[Ozarkie]

What a freaking whiner. Could this guy get anymore self-centered? I knew there was something I didn’t like about him.

[Paladin2]

What about Ricky Recardo and Lucy?

[MortMan]

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

[Muzzle_em]

I only watch the Discovery CHannel and Animal Planet.
The internet is far more entertaining than TV.

[Doogle]

..once again,Lopez bolsters his non-popularity trait.

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

His entire act is accented gibberish with a few lines in Spanish interjected at times he deems comedically expedient. Think “I Love Lucy”

[liberateUS]

Please, can Geraldo’s gig be next???

May 2007.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

George Lopez, the first Latino to lead a television series successfully, isn't laughing. "TV just became really, really white again," he said.

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)

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

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 )
