So, yeah... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.126.20 (talk) 06:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Race?

When did George turn black? what. what, indeed.

Name change?

Was the show originally called "The George Lopez Show" before changing to the current name, "George Lopez"? I ask because every current reference I can find, including ABC.com and IMDb, to which this article's link points, calls it simply "George Lopez." (IMDb does say the working title was "The George Lopez Show," but that's not a basis for naming the article if it was not the name when the show premiered.)

If there was a name change, then we should mention it, but we should considering renaming the article and adding a disambiguation page to distinguish the star from his show. If it was never the name, then we absolutely need to change the name; naturally, we would have a redirect from "The George Lopez Show," since that's a common understanding of the name.Lawikitejana 19:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Another editor has since made the change to the article title. Lawikitejana 19:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

C'mon, NOTHING about what the show is about?

Being pressed for time at the moment, I'm going to settle for the moment for a list of what I think the article needs, so that if others are so inclined, they can start filling in the gaps.

Summary of the main characters and family relationships. I don't mean just "Benny is George's mother," which is already taken care of by the cast list. We need an encapsulated version of recurring conflicts and themes, character details and back story, etc.
Summary of major episodes and story arcs. I remember an early episode had George discovering that his birth father had sold George's birth certificate to someone else; can't think of anywhere else I've seen that storyline. We tuned in last week and George was not living at home due to his mother having moved in. I missed the first few minutes, but had the definite impression that this had been going on in previous episodes.
Information about connections between the people in the life of George Lopez the Character and people in the life of George Lopez the Actor/Comedian. For example, Benny is constantly commenting on George's supposedly oversized head, something that his autobiographical accounts say was a habit of the grandmother who brought him up.
Any references out there that show impact of the actual show over the last few years. The present stub of an article doesn't tell us anything about the show that we didn't know before it aired, other than the time slots.
I'm going to add two Trivia items, but that's not going to do the trick by itself. Lawikitejana 19:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB

Why does IMDB say that George Lopez has only been in 10 episodes. -- Beardo 08:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This problem may since have been updated, but usually it stems from the fact that a couple of years ago, IMDb switched the style of its cast listings for TV shows. Each episode has its own cast list, and the default is now to assume that a given actor did not appear in an episode until someone takes the time to confirm for each episode that the actor in question did appear. So at the time this question was posed, no one had gotten around to confirming Lopez' appearance in the show for each episode beyond those ten. By now it's surely been fixed.

Longest running sitcom with Latino Actors

I Love Lucy ran from 1951-1957, and starred Desi Arnez, a Cuban-American. I changed the line in the intro paragraph to reflect this. (But I forgot to log in first). - Aaronwinborn 02:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Runners up of long-running sitcoms with Hispanic actors: Chico and the Man and Welcome Back, Kotter come to mind. Any other suggestions? Dogru144 23:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, "Juan Epstein" was played by a Hungarian-Italian-American. Dogru144 23:25, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note, this is one of the reasons why OR is always a bad idea. Unless a reliable source has noted something then editors generally should not add it themselves based on what they think they know, as they can often be wrong. Of course, reliable sources make mistakes as well, but it's a lot rarer then random wikipedians Nil Einne (talk) 20:17, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HEY

The picture in the infobox

The picture that is currently in the article still shows Masiela Lusha, who has been written out of the show as of this season. Also, Max (Luis Armand Garcia) looks noticeably older now. I think that we should move it down into the article's history section (as a picture of the cast from last season) and replace the picture in the infobox with an updated one showing the show's current cast. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 01:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information

should it be mentioned that Vic is a cardiologist (episode: A Clear and Presentless Danger)And Richard, might I ask why you keep deleting the information I put in the character section? I think Benny's job is notable. Everyoneandeveryone (talk) 18:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accurate Information

Is this information accurate?

'George later finds out he has a sister, Linda Lorenzo who was his ex girlfriend who he had a child with, who Benny gave away. George goes to visit her and gets her pregnant again and divorces angie in season 7 but after discovering she doesn't know she is adopted and has a successful life, decides not to tell her about their relation and leaves. In a later episode, however, George accidentally reveals they are siblings.

Kyros (talk) 00:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)'[reply]

I seriously doubt it...--TrUcO9311 ^TaLk / _SiGn 01:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not true. Plus, there never was a season 7. George did find that he had a sister that Benny had given away, but he didn't have any kind of relationship with her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.55.43.141 (talk) 18:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And George and Angie never divorced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.218.10.195 (talk) 05:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That NEVER EVER happened! I have seen every single George Lopez episodes. That didn't happen in ANY of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.214.200.168 (talk) 04:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

This should not have been moved to The George Lopez Show, certainly not without discussion. There is nothing even remotely official suggesting that "The George Lopez Show" is the correct title and plenty to suggest that "George Lopez" is. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 08:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

George Lopez coming to Disney Channel?

Last night, and I don't remember if I was awake or dreaming, but, I thought I saw an advertisement saying George Lopez was coming to Disney Channel! Now, I think it's possible since George did run on ABC for several years, but Disney Channel? There's some content on that show I'm not sure parents would approve of. It's funny, but...I'm just saying. 12.217.25.15 (talk) 12:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah, you were dreaming. Either that, or you have Disney Channel confused with the N. SAVIOR_SELF.777 06:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

George Lopez on Disney Channel

It would not, because of its foul language. I've heard the words "A**" & "D***" on that show.

No one cares. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toprewolf Tepmirk (talk • contribs) 01:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Their Parents would care. If they heard the word "Damn" the child's parent would probably say "(Name), What are you watching?" Then the child would say "The George Lopez Show". The Parnet would probalbly not let their kid watch it until they were older. So the child's parents would care, Toprewolf Tepmirk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.206.245 (talk) 00:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, damn isn't really profanity. VegetaSaiyan (talk) 23:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is

What is a "Mexican-American sitcom"? I have changed this to "American sitcom."

TuckerResearch (talk) 03:57, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A sitcom about (a) Mexican American(n). The name says it all. Mc134 (talk) 04:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'culturally diverse'

The lead states: 'George Lopez is an American sitcom that had culturally diverse cast members.' Further down the article, it states that the show had an all-Hispanic cast, with the exception of Masiela Lusha - that doesn't sound very diverse! What does it mean here? . Robofish (talk) 23:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'll change it. - Sm1ttenzd 01:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second block for cast?

Why are there two sections for the cast? There is no source for the show being renewed, and it's not mentioned anywhere else. - Sm1ttenzd 16:15, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Page Link

Is there a reason there's no link to List of George Lopez episodes on this page? - Pokemega32 (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Syndication Update

Fox 28, shows the show late nights, usually around 2 to 3 AM on their channel, too. Here is the source: http://www.myfox28columbus.com/sections/programming/grid.shtml

Someone will have to update that on the page, thanks.

Nick Lopez

Who the heck is Nick Lopez? I have never even heard about him. Cococrash11 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cococrash11 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Carmen was not written off the show

Carmen still appears even up to Season 6 Episode 15! : http://www.locatetv.com/tv/george-lopez/season-6/1859621 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.109.88 (talk • contribs) 00:42, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're incorrect. The cast list appearing on that page is not specific to a particular season or episode. Also take notice of the cast photograph (from which Masiela Lusha is absent). —David Levy 02:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Put it on the talk page here and we'll see if it is OK. (Well, someone will. I've never heard of George Lopez before.) Peridon (talk) 17:39, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm responding to your help request. Can you state exactly what you mean by locked, and what has been locked? Wikipedian2 (talk) 17:47, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed they meant the main page here was protected, but it doesn't appear to be. Courcelles's user and talk page are protected, although I'm not sure what that's got to do with this 'info'. Peridon (talk) 18:37, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Creative Differences"

Does anyone have a source for the line "George Lopez said that due to creative differences between him and Lusha, Lusha's character was written out of the show after Season 5"? So far all of my searches for it have led to references to the Wikipedia article. So naturally I looked through the article logs for the original edit that added it, thinking it might have had a source in the past that was deleted. I found it, but the person who added it didn't have a source:

http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=George_Lopez_%28TV_series%29&diff=100602702&oldid=98429632

Cast images

The image File:George Lopez Meet the Cuban Parents episode picture.jpg (screenshot) should be deleted, while File:GeorgeLopezsitcomcast.jpg (publicity photo) should remain. The latter is more illustrative and clearer than the former. Pinging QuasyBoy and SolarStarSpire, who uploaded the images. --George Ho (talk) 07:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. We could also do what some good TV articles like Friends do and just insert the actors' images from their pages here. — SolarStarSpire (talk) 23:59, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
