So who watched it ? and what did u think?

I was forced to flip back and forth between the show and the baseball game... White Sox vs. Angels..... Sox won but it was a VERY controversial ending....

Anywho.... what I did see of it was okay.... not THAT great.... tho I did enjoy both Freddie and Brian.... (I liked him as David in 90210)

Did ya love Freddie's impersonation of Christopher Walken...? That was a hoot!

I thought the show has real possiblities and it was very funny in places. Of course my heart lept when the tribute to Freddie appeared at the end. So sweet of Jr to honor his father like that. I hope the show is a huge success.

I almost cried when I heard "LOOKING GOOD" at the end of Freddie's show. It was such a relief after all these many, many years to see this happen. To see that Fred Jr's dream come to fruition.

As a fan of Senior it gave me upmost joy in my heart....

A feeling I will never forget as long as I live.

The baby boy that Freddie had in his arms 29 years ago is now a man. A married man. A good man. A man who didn't follow his father's turmoil. I salute Freddie Jr. for all he has gone through. Now maybe he has peace of mind himself. I know he gave it to me.

Thank you Fred Jr. It was also a dream of mine to prove that your father was good all along. I couldn't sleep last night. I was tossing and turning.

I felt like Fred Sr. was telling me... "DID YOU SEE HIM? DID YOU SEE HIM? THAT'S MY BOY UP THERE....."

In a way I answered him in my mind "YES FREDDIE I KNOW, I KNOW.... NOW LET ME GO TO SLEEP........"

Now you all know me.....you all know that Freddie means alot to me. I know that he is proud of Freddie Jr for taking this chance and trying something new. I hate to be the party pooper, but to me, the show needs work. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped for and I didn't laugh that much with it. I think it has great potential and I really think it would have helped to show the pilot first instead of skipping it. I just hope it gets better.

As for the 'tribute' it was nice to see. For years, I've seen Freddie Jr talk about his dad and how he felt cheated because he never got to be his son. A touch of bitterness that was definitely understandable, so to see him show his picture at the end of this show and acknowledge the fact that now he is definitely following in his professional footsteps, it was very nice to see that part. I just wanted to say that even though I didn't really like the first show, I really want to see more of the show and hope it gets better.

I agree with Dani. I really did like the show, and I had my share of laughter. Somehow there just something missing. I mean in no disrespect but, I thought it could of have been better. Maybe I was just to eager to see what kind of tribute they were going to do for Sr. I am looking forward to the nest show. I will keep watching it

Hi Treky. :wave: The show we're talking about is called FREDDIE. It comes on right after George Lopez on ABC..... Weds evenings at 8:30 PM. It's about Freddie and his friend played by Brian Austin Greene (90210). It centers around Freddie and Brian who are both bachelors and Freddie's family moves in with him so Freddie can't do what he use to do anymore like bring girls home.... His grandmother has her eye on him to check out his ladies... She complains about his lady friends in spanish (with sub titles). I hope you watch it... :wave:

While I will admit I thought it was a touching gesture to have the "looking good" and tribute to dad... I hope his heart is in the right place and he is not going to try to capital on his dads name and talent......

Jr. is adorable but I just dont think he could EVER step into his dads shoes....

I found online an article on JR & George Lopez that mentions Freddie:

http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20051017/1062352.asp

Lopez and Prinze linked in spirit and schedule
By MARIA ELENA FERNANDEZ
L.A. Times-Washington Post
10/17/2005


L.A. Times-Washington Post
Comedian George Lopez, right, shares a background and a night of programming with actor Freddy Prinze Jr.

HOLLYWOOD - Let's get one thing straight: Just because George Lopez and Freddie Prinze Jr. are Hispanic men with their own sitcoms on ABC, and their shows just happen to be scheduled consecutively on Wednesday nights, doesn't mean there's a new "Latin hour" on prime-time television.

So, por favor, don't call it that. Nobody called the pairing of the wacky Barones on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the emotionally challenged Harper brothers on "Two and a Half Men" the "white hour," did they?

"Shows should just be able to be shows without hyphenating their lead characters," Lopez said. "(With) us, they feel like they need to somehow label it to say, "All right, this is what you're going to be watching, so are you sure you want to watch?' But they don't do it to people who are Jewish or African American. Because we have the muscle but we need the voice to say you can't do that to us. Just watch because you think the shows are funny. Don't watch because we're a couple of Latino guys."

To which Prinze added: "I have no patience for that. Because Latino is cool, all of a sudden, they're like, we'll say this and we'll be cool. Shut your face, man. It's TV."

Actually, there's a lot more to it than TV. Both Lopez and Prinze, whose lives and careers are connected by the tragic death at a young age of Prinze's father, Freddie Prinze Sr., feel they have a lot to prove to the television industry, to mainstream America and to themselves. To them, the idea that their back-to-back shows on ABC have been labeled "the Latin hour" undermines the historic and cultural impact of what the shows bring to the entertainment landscape.

For the first time, there will be two shows centered on Hispanic families hailing from different cultures ("The George Lopez Show" is Mexican, "Freddie" is Puerto Rican) and socioeconomic perspectives (Lopez is working class, Prinze is upscale) but who have no qualms about expressing their Hispanic pride. Additionally, "The George Lopez Show" will air its 100th episode this season. It's the first time a show about a Hispanic family has reached that milestone, which potentially means big-time syndication dollars. And for its creator and star, it means a place in history next to the only other Hispanics who had hit shows: Desi Arnaz and Freddie Prinze Sr.

"It means a lot in that I always felt invisible, and I was louder in my own head than I was verbally," Lopez said. "I was torturing myself, wanting to say things and not knowing how to be. The stand-up was a way out but it never came easy. So to have something that's named after me make it, and that has history tied to Desi and Freddie and now Freddie Jr., it's unbelievable to me because I never really thought anything good would happen to me."

In recent years, TV has introduced characters who are able to remain true to their Hispanic roots without hitting viewers over the head with their ethnicity: Rico (Freddy Rodriguez) and Vanessa (Justina Machado) on "Six Feet Under," nurse Carla (Judy Reyes) on "Scrubs" and Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) on "Desperate Housewives." (Although the latter drew the ire of Hispanics when it was revealed that the wealthiest couple on Wisteria Lane gained its riches illegally).

"This is indeed a milestone, but it's 2005: Why has it taken so long?" said Vince Gutierrez, a National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences governor who chairs the diversity committee. "There is finally recognition that the themes that George's show portrays cross racial lines and have struck a chord with the viewing audience."

But even now as Lopez approaches a career landmark, months after his wife donated one of her kidneys to save his life, and just before his idol's son will become the fourth Hispanic man to star in his own show, Lopez resents that he hasn't gained the level of respect of other comics with their own sitcoms, such as Ray Romano or Chris Rock.

"I think it's easier for African American and white comics to be praised than it is Latinos because they think our culture or our humor is substandard," Lopez said. "I mean, I just don't think they want to give us credit. I just don't think that they see us as important enough to be at their level. . . . I'm the longest-produced (comedy) at Warner Bros. and I don't feel special. They come over and say hello. But everybody's gonna make a lot of money and I don't feel like I'm special to them."

Inspired by the lives of their stars, "The George Lopez Show" and "Freddie" demonstrate what should already be obvious as the Hispanic population has swelled and the culture blended more into the mainstream.

"If you leak anything out, it's that we are very different," wisecracked the 44-year-old Lopez, who grew up in the San Fernando Valley. He finds it perplexing that such a fact needs to be pointed out at a time when Hispanics, the largest minority group in the country, represent $700 billion a year in buying power and 11.2 million homes with TV sets.

Lopez's 4-year-old sitcom depicts a Mexican American family in Los Angeles; Freddie's family is Puerto Rican and lives in Chicago. George is a working-class airplane manufacturing plant manager; Freddie is a chef and owner of an upscale restaurant.

George's show revolves around a nuclear family of four and George's mother, who lived alone until last week's season premiere, when her house burned down. Through it, Lopez says he has worked out many of the painful issues of his childhood that make his stand-up act so poignant.

On "Freddie," the lead character is a successful bachelor who takes in three generations of women, including a sister-in-law, to live with him in his fancy digs while trying to balance his love life and relationship with his best friend, played by Brian Austin Green. (In a groundbreaking role, actress Jenny Gago will play the grandmother, speaking only in Spanish; her dialogue will be subtitled.)

The son of Freddie Prinze Sr., whose sitcom "Chico and the Man" broke new ground in 1974 and who shot himself while intoxicated on sedatives at age 22 in 1977, grew up in New Mexico with his Italian mother, grandmother, aunts and godmother, and spent the summers in Puerto Rico with his father's family.

"When I was growing up, people had whatever image they had about my father, and I'm not crazy about talking about it because it wasn't a very good image," said Prinze, 29, who was only 10 months old when his father died. "These parents of the children within my school would look at me and they would see him. They would see a man that took drugs and ended his life, and whether they wanted to believe it was an accident or a suicide, it didn't matter. Their child wasn't hanging out with Freddie Prinze Jr."

So the son did the only thing he knew to clear his father's name: He became the best man he could be, working three jobs in high school in New Mexico to help his mother with the bills, and moving to Los Angeles at 18 to become an actor and portray "stand-up guys that made mistakes but understood what they were and weren't going to make them again." Never a party boy, Prinze married actress Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2002.

"They (people) can't fathom what it's like to share that name and read something bad about the man who gave it to you," Prinze said. "So I worked as hard as I could to clean up that name. . . . To do this show is me testing those waters and if it succeeds, I don't care as long as respect is paid to my father."

What Prinze did not know as he was growing up was that in the San Fernando Valley there was a Mexican American teenager who lived for "Chico and the Man" and was crushed when its funny and sexy star died suddenly. That teenager was Lopez, who says he never believed he could follow in his idol's footsteps, though he always dreamed it.

"The first time I saw him, I wanted to be like him," Lopez said. "He was so young and cool and Latino and everybody loved him. And then when he passed, it was devastating to me. I later learned that he was tortured, like I was tortured, and I learned to fight through it."

Then fate intervened. At least, that's how Lopez, Prinze and the man who managed his father, Ron De Blasio, see it. Lopez, who had been working the stand-up circuit for many years in the hopes of getting his own sitcom, met De Blasio six years ago. De Blasio had managed such comic heavyweights as Bill Cosby, George Carlin and Richard Pryor, but after his young client's death he gave up comedians for musicians. Eventually, Lopez wore him down.

"Freddie Sr. was a very funny guy, but he was also a very, very bright guy with an exceptional IQ," said De Blasio, who has remained an "uncle" to Junior. "He could have been whatever he wanted to be. And I just felt his presence when I was with George. I felt like this was probably the extension of what Freddie and I were going to do and finishing it out."

In 2002, Lopez finally got his own show, and later wound up living four houses away from Prinze Jr.'s mother. They became friends, and she gave him his idol's key chain and his old American Express card. Then two years ago, Lopez met her son.

"I don't know what the word is, but there's a stronger spirit out there and a stronger being and a stronger essence that made all these things happen," De Blasio said. "Freddie Jr. didn't get to this town and go crazy, even when he suffered defeat and people said things about his dad that weren't true. He remained a good kid and very decent guy and he's bringing his father's name back that way. And George has helped him with that."

It was Lopez who campaigned for Prinze Sr.'s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which was unveiled in December. When Prinze Jr. signed a deal with ABC, Lopez, who says he still feels like a "mother hen to a fragile egg" on his own show, was there to provide guidance and allowed his executive producer, Bruce Helford, to run "Freddie" as well.

"George Lopez says without Freddie Prinze there's no George Lopez," Prinze Jr. said. "But without George Lopez, my father never gets his star. Without George Lopez, nobody says good stuff about my father. And the fact that he goes above and beyond to help me, after he's succeeded, that's a big deal to me. I can count on one hand the people who have character who do that in this business. But it's always guys like George. It's always the people who have been disrespected and who have not been treated well their whole life who say, "I'm not going to let that happen to somebody else.' "

Perhaps part of the reason Lopez feels the industry does not hold him in high enough regard is that ABC has moved the show four times (joked Prinze: "from Testosterone Tuesday to the Witness Protection Program on Fridays"), and it has never grown into a ratings juggernaut, said Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros. Television. Last season, "The George Lopez Show" drew an average 7.2 million viewers (12 percent of whom were Hispanic) and ranked 88th among 201 prime-time shows, according to Nielsen Media Research. Last week, 9.1 million viewers tuned in for the show's season premiere, making it the No. 1 show in its new time slot.

"From our perspective, he's done a yeoman's job of bringing a very attractive and a very acceptable and large number of people each week," Roth said. "The thing about George that distinguishes him from almost every other star we work with is that he has literally been involved with every single stage of development and execution of the series."

Joy the episode was about a food critic coming over to Freddie and Chris's restaurant. He was going to write a column about their restaurant in a very popular magazine. :)

Once Freddie found out who the food critic was (supposedly his sisters ex boyfriend who took her virginity) Freddie was mad. :mad:

At first Freddie went up to the food critic and apologized for beating him up in school ( he wanted a good review in the magazine). :)

The truth was that the guy didn't take his sister's virginity it was Freddie's friend Chris who took her virginity many moons ago. :eek: Freddie was steaming.... (like his vegetables) :mad:


Chris and Freddie started yelling at each other. Freddie pointed out to Chris that he kissed one of Chris's ex girlfriends. So Chris started to tell Freddie "Oh yeah....... I kissed one of your ex's" and they were going back and forth naming quite a few names. At the end they reconciled.

Thank you Cheryl for sharing that article. That was so very interesting, and I just love that Freddie (Sr) is in the news, and people are reading about how wonderful he was. I also like reading about Jr's love for our Freddie. We are lucky that George Lopez has been such a great supporter of Freddie, and letting people know the truth about who he really was, and what he's done for the standard of sitcom t.v.

I didn't see Freddie's t.v. show last week, but did this week. I really liked it. It reminds me of "Friends", yet has enough to separate them from Friends to make it funny and good on it's own. I hope the show stays on the air a long long time, and we get to see Jr. grow into an amazing comedic actor.

I kept staring at Jr. on his t.v. show and just couldn't believe the great luck that see Freddie's son every week on prime time. It makes me feel like we get to see a piece of our Freddie again every week, just as we did 19 years ago with CATM.

I was surpised and happy to hear "LOOOOOOKING GOOOOD" at the end of Jr's show. Hearing that is so emotional for me, and it just gave me goose bumps hearing it with no expectations of hearing from our Freddie. The closing credits went by fast, but I did see that it said "Hunga Rican productions" at the end, right?!? He really is embracing his father. I know Freddie has got to be proud of his son, and happy to be a part of his new t.v. life.

Here are the reviews after last nights show....Looking Good!!!


ABC's "Freddie," the last new series in the door for the fall TV season, debuted in style against competition that included major league baseball playoff games.


The Freddie Prinze Jr. comedy, airing at 8:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday, was the most-watched show among all viewers in its time period (9.4 million) and among the advertiser-favored adults aged 18 to 49 (5.4 million).


It was helped by lead-in "George Lopez," which has been resurgent in its new 8 p.m. EDT Wednesday home, winning in viewers and adults.


But "Freddie" did even better than fourth-season "George Lopez," which drew 8.8 million in total viewers and 4.5 million in young adults, according to Nielsen Media Research figures released Tuesday.

I found this article on Jr & Sarah Michelle & the new show online. Enjoy!

Gellar orders Prinze Jr to reduce show length


Sarah Michelle Gellar was so infuriated when she learned her husband Freddie Prinze Jr planned to make an hour-long sitcom, she ordered him to slice the episodes in half.

While the former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star was happy for her husband of three years to be starring in semi-autobiographical show Freddie, she was far from thrilled when she realised how intense his filming schedule would be.

Prinze says, "The original idea for the new show, Freddie, was for an hour-long show, and then Sarah said, 'Are you crazy? You know what kind of hours I worked? You better rework it into a half-hour!'

"So I did! I always listen to my wife. That's why I still have one!"

I do think it's a little sad hearing him called Uncle Freddie because he never had any brothers or sisters so he could be called that some day, i read where they wanted more kids...in one article it said they were going to try for a girl next.
but i loved it and at the very end i thought he looked the most like Freddie Sr that i have ever seen.
great show!

I totally agree with you. When I was watching the show, the very last scene where he smiles this big smile, he looked so much like our Freddie it was incredible. When I saw that smile, I got this pit in the bottom of my stomach! In a good way :) ! It made my night.

On a slightly different note, could someone please explain what Jr's tribute to his father was at the end of his first show?!?

Well the show seems fine. I've been faithfully viewing it for the past 3 weeks. I do like the storylines. This is a different show than Fred Sr's Chico and the man show.

Fred Jr is way different than his beloved father. He's a more mellow type actor. Fred jr. was born in a different era and place so he hasn't done any Fred Sr. stuff yet.

Fred Sr. was say more..... comical. He had a certain pizazz. He grew up in NY where (at the time) people use to hang out and tell stories. (I know because I was a New Yorker back then). I'm sure as Freddie continues on in his series he will be a more seasoned actor. There is a movie that Fred Jr. made that I see a bit of his father in him. I don't remember the name of the movie but It's the movie that he plays with Peter Falk.

Now last night while watching the show Freddie I saw Fred Sr. in Freddie's eyes.... It was so poignant. I just had to say this.

That movie would be Money Kings, Ms Jenny. He was a bad boy in that movie. :lol:
I, too, have seen every show so far. It has had to grow on me. I really tried to watch it as Freddie Prinze Jr....nothing to compare to his father. No, he does not have quite the same flair for this as his father did, but well, I have to say the end of last night's show made me see him differently. For so long, Freddie Jr was so serious! Even when in a romantic comedy, he was stiff and serious. Now's he's starting to loosen up a bit and things are coming a bit more naturally. The show is starting to come around a bit but really, I think his grandmother and his sister are the two funniest people on the show. So far though, I think I would give the show 3 out of 5 stars.:D

I thought this last show was a lot more funny. My daughter and I just laughed and laughed, and not just Freddie, but the other characters are coming along as well. It was sooo funny when the grandmother and sister in law tried to out drink each other.... my daughter and I can't see a princess costume now without laughing! LOL

OMG, I was the same way today passing out candy! I laughed when a princess showed thinking about the grandmother and the big glass she had ready for drinking!

I honestly enjoy this show! I can see so many facial expressions and mannerisms of his dad that it sometimes seems eerie. The sitcoms have changed soooooo much over the years - they can get away with so much more now. Couldn't you just imagine how extra spectacular Freddie Sr. would be in today's comedy world? There is no doubt in my mind that Freddie would be bursting with pride over his son's accomplishments.

I agree too and wouldn't it have been cool to see him do a guest spot on his son's show!

I just came back from the Freddie taping and it was great. I had the front row and a good view of Freddie. Everyone seemed to have a good time and the crowd enjoyed it...

You're right Tylers in real life that's not cool but in the show............

I love the tension. Over the years these 2 friends have kissed each others gals (and more). So this is the 1st time we'll see the tension between the 2. LOL........ :lol:
