About
the Show
George
Lopez, the hit family comedy starring popular standup
comedian George Lopez, moves to a new night and time --
Wednesdays (8/7c) -- this fall on ABC. The
series is from Bruce Helford, Deborah Oppenheimer and Robert
Borden – all
from ABC's long-running hit comedy series, The Drew Carey
Show – and actress/producer
Sandra Bullock.
George
Lopez is a guy who has made lemonade from lemons at every
turn. Since he became the plant manager at an L.A. airplane
parts factory, George has handled a complicated and tumultuous
job – including mergers, vandals and
even a Presidential visit -- with his sense of humor
intact. Though his affable and loyal friend and leader,
Ernie (Valente Rodriguez), and former compadres on the
floor consider him a buddy, they continue to rib him and
have their fun with his new found position of power. Dealing
with his tough and acerbic but loving mother, Benny (Belita
Moreno), while sifting through her vast assortment of lies
about his childhood, and maintaining a civil relationship
presents a constant challenge, both at work and at home.
Fortunately
George's devoted wife, Angie (Constance Marie), possesses
the patience of a saint and copes surprisingly well with
Benny's questionable behavior and insensitive wisecracks,
and with George's freewheeling approach to parenthood.
Her recent success as a cosmetics salesperson and her drive
to pursue a new, more stimulating career tries George's
patience, but in the end makes him love and rely upon her
that much more. George and Angie's twelve-year-old son,
Max (Luis Armand Garcia), is dyslexic and a sarcastic ball
of energy, while their 15-year-old daughter, Carmen (Masiela
Lusha), struggles against her parents to assert her own
independence while dealing with self esteem problems and
the tribulations of being a teenage high school girl. George
is further tested daily by the arrival of his newly divorced
father-in-law, Vic (Emiliano Díez).
George Lopez stars George Lopez as George, Constance
Marie as Angie, Valente Rodgriguez as Ernie, Masiela
Lusha as Carmen, Luis Armand Garcia as Max, Belita Moreno
as Benny and Emiliano Diez as Vic Palmero.
