George Lopez
(Wednesdays, 8:00-8:30 p.m., E.T.)
“George Lopez,” the hit family comedy starring popular standup comedian George Lopez, returns to ABC in January 2007, airing Wednesdays from 8:00-8:30 p.m., ET. The series, which begins its sixth season, 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 (“Miss Congeniality,” “Speed”).
George Lopez is a guy who has made lemonade from lemons at every turn. Since he became plant manager at an L.A. airplane parts factory, George has handled a complicated job, a strong but demanding marriage, two rebellious children, a mother, Benny (Belita Moreno, “Perfect Strangers”), who can’t keep track of her own lies about his childhood, and an adult niece with an enormous inheritance and absolutely no sense of boundaries – all with his sense of humor intact.
His affable lifelong compadre, Ernie (Valente Rodriguez, “Erin Brokovich”), is always there to lend a hand and provide his share of comic relief.
George’s devoted wife, Angie (Constance Marie), deals with her challenging long-term marriage, George’s freewheeling approach to parenthood, Benny’s insensitive wisecracks and the erratic behavior of her adult niece, Veronica (Aimee Garcia), along with some misguided advice from her father (Emiliano Díez), with the patience of a saint.
Fourteen-year-old Max (Luis Armand Garcia) maintains the sense of humor he inherited from his father, and while he constantly tests his parents’ limits, he revels in the freedom he’s gained since his older sister left home to go to college.
“George Lopez” stars George Lopez as George, Constance Marie as Angie, Belita Moreno as Benny, Valente Rodriguez as Ernie, Luis Armand Garcia as Max, Emiliano Díez as Vic Palmero and Aimee Garcia as Veronica.
Bruce Helford, Robert Borden, Academy Award-winner Deborah Oppenheimer, Sandra Bullock, George Lopez, Mark Torgove, Paul Kaplan, Dave Caplan and Rick Nyholm serve as executive producers. “George Lopez” is produced by Mohawk Productions, Inc. and Fortis Films, in association with Warner Bros. Television.
