George Lopez Fuming over Cancellation of His Sitcom
George Lopez is losing his sitcom — and as a result, he says “TV just became really, really white again.”
ABC canceled “George Lopez” after five seasons. He says the network told him it would lose money if the show was renewed. But Lopez tells the Los Angeles Times that his show did better than some of the series that were renewed.
He’s especially peeved that a sitcom starring the cavemen from the Geico commercials was picked up. He asks why a “Chicano can’t be on TV, but a caveman can?”
Hey George! The agents for Sharpton & Jackson called. They’re demanding that you stop stealing from their act.
And I’m sure that a multitude of famous actors of Hispanic heritage (Mexican-Americans included) will be shocked to find out that TV is once again white as the wind-driven snow.
Give it a rest already. You still have a movie deal and an HBO special coming up; plus you’ll continue to make money on reruns of a show that started out funny and entertaining, but simply lost viewer interest. When your show gets poor ratings, it gets canceled. You move on to your next project. That’s Hollywood.
What a loser…
