Lopez Tonight= Not Bomb.Com

I really am a fan of George Lopez and his work. I think he found a formula that worked and it's absolute genius. Although his jokes and delivery can be hilarious, I'm not an idle listener. Let's keep it real ladies and gents: he's a total homo-phobe and says offensive things. When I found out TBS picked up his show, I was somewhat excited. C'mon, it's a Brown face in a sea of awkward-white-dude-comedy (still love you Conan)! Watching his monologue was painful. It was like sitting on knives. George Lopez needs new writers-stat! His show on Nov 10th was especially bad. He claimed that his show was a "revolution". What is so revolutionary about reinforcing stereotypes? Yeah, we get it, Asians equal pedicure and Black people equals lock your door at night. He is in danger of turning into Carlos Mencia. That is not a compliment.


Although, I will say his interviewing skills are pretty good. You can tell he did his homework and is comfortable with his guests. Eva Longoria announced to the world that yes, she is indeed keepin' it hella raza and is getting her Master's in Chican@ Studies. Of course if you keep up with our blog you know that already. Girlfriend is getting her Master's degree in Chican@ Studies and she also announced she was wearing a big blond wig for the show. Dang, girl, why didn't you just bust out the green contacts like Samy Sosa? If she really did pay attention in class, she'd probably want to burn the wig on television.


All in all, I think the show has potential for improvement. I think with new writers, he can only go up.

I know, I know, but we need to be super critical since he represents all Brown folk! I watched the third episode, and it was a lot better for sure. He just needs to hire me to do his writing, that's all I'm sayin'.
