George Lopez (also known as The George Lopez Show) is an American sitcom starring Mexican-American comedian George Lopez that originally aired on ABC from March 27, 2002 to May 8, 2007. Reruns of the show now air on The CW Television Network and on Nickelodeon's Nick at Nite. The show was originally scheduled to be succeeded in January 2009 with another similar show called the Dave Ramos Show but its release is still pending.

In 2000, after several years of performing stand-up comedy, Lopez was approached by actress Sandra Bullock for Lopez to produce and star in a comedy. Bullock was concerned about the lack of Hispanic-oriented sitcoms on American television and pushed to get a sitcom on television that starred Hispanics but wasn't exclusively about the Hispanic American community. ABC, who had been criticized by Hispanic American groups for lack of Latinos on their television movies, quickly picked up the television series. In 2006 Freddie Prinze Jr. guest starred on the show for a crossover with Freddie. Freddie starred Freddie Prinze Jr. and Brian Austin Greene from Beverley Hills 90210. The series, however, was short lived. For the first five seasons, the show had an all-Hispanic cast with the exception of Albanian-American actress Masiela Lusha, who played George's daughter Carmen. George Lopez said that due to creative differences between him and Lusha, Lusha's character was written out of the show after Season 5. Lusha did appear in the 2007 season premiere, when her character left to attend a college in another state, and was replaced by Aimee Garcia as George's niece, Veronica (making for an all-Hispanic cast the final season).

On March 8, 2007, it was announced that George Lopez would join the Nick at Nite lineup. It first aired on Nick at Nite on September 10, 2007 - it is the youngest non-original show airing on Nick at Nite ^[1]. On May 15, 2007, the series was canceled by ABC & the US ABC website has removed all mention of the show. ^[2] and the final episode aired on September 7, 2007.

Although its last season aired on Wednesdays, the show was the last program from the ABC's former TGIF lineup to air.

The show first aired on The N in September 2008. The program also runs in syndication on CW and Nick at Nite.

The show stars George Lopez, as manager of an airplane parts factory called Powers Brothers Aviation. He is married to Angie Palmero and has two outgoing children, Max and Carmen who all live together in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. George had a less-than-ideal childhood, physically abandoned by his father and further traumatized by a careless, abusive, alcoholic mother, Benita "Benny" Lopez. Their adult relationship mainly consists of the two of them trading insults about her bad parenting. Benny works at Powers Brothers Aviation, as does George's best friend, Ernesto "Ernie" Cardenas, who is mostly luckless in the dating arena. George's father-in-law, Dr. Victor "Vic" Palmero, thinks Angie should have married someone better than George but as the series progresses he begins to respect and accept him. Benny criticizes Angie's cooking and parenting skills. George always tries to catch Max and Carmen getting in trouble when they do something bad, whether it be by confronting them straight on, or sneakily investigating, then punishing them later.Like for instance.One night when ,Carmen and Max were with Benita,Carmen was driving(under tha age),Max had no seat-belt,and Benita was drinking in the backseat.
