TV just got a lot 'whiter,' says a canceled George Lopez

Tv will be boring now. No more According to Jim, George Lopez and King of Queens.

Someone seems a bit bitter.


That's showbiz, George. Quit playing the race card and get over it.

Damm you took the words right out mouth-lol Yes he does sound very bitter, and he just has to suck it up and move on. No need to bitch about it

Yeah, i kinda got the feeling he was trying to play the card.

But, he made a good point. The Networks will always play favorites with shows that they own and create "in house." They would much rather renew those shows (even if they do poorly in the ratings compared to other shows from other production companies) then have to pay a $$$ for a show they don't own outright. Sometimes it is all about the almighty dollar.

You said it! Why do these guys chalk everything up to race? How does he explain According to Jim and King of Queens going off the air too?

Give me a break George - it has NOTHING to do with colour. :rolleyes:

If that's the case, then how does he explain this last season of Survivor. You don't hear whites jumping on claiming that minorities were being favoured. Sheesh!

I'm not a fan of this show, however, I can understand why George Lopez is upset. I mean his show just got cancelled. I don't think it was a race thing, which is what he brought into it. But my opinion is he's just upset and venting.

Did it ever occur to Georgie-boy that maybe his show ran its course so the network cancelled it?

Shows featuring people of all races get cancelled, George. You're not unique. Appreciate the run you had and the positive image you made for hispanics.

Get over it and move on.

Well Said! :clap

I will miss the show, it was hilarious. A lot of my latino friends did not like the show because they said it made them look bad.

This is AWFUL! It's the best comedy on the air today!!
