"Describe The George Lopez Show here"? Ta Loco, Describe The George Lopez Show here!George Lopez, also known as The George Lopez Show,note Officially, the title is the former, but we call it the latter to avoid confusion with the comedian himself. is a sitcom that aired on ABC from 2002 to 2007 starring stand-up comedian George Lopez, not to be confused with Lopez Tonight. Noteworthy for being the first American sitcom with a mostly Hispanic cast, and, in the final season, an all-Hispanic cast. Also the second longest running show with said cast.Although it originally aired on ABC, it's more closely associated with Nick at Nite, where it aired in syndication from 2007 until 2020 as their highest-rated show before being moved to the Peacock streaming service. There were talks to revive the show in 2016, but nothing came of it.

Axes at School: One episode had a student bring a gun to Max's school and shoot a classmate in the leg. The incident is offscreen, with the episode instead focusing on the psychological effects the incident has on Max and his family.

Ripped from the Headlines: The episode "George Can't Let Sleeping Mexicans Lie," is based off of a Real Life event where a restaurant put up sleeping Mexicans statues and later took them down after a petition to do so was circulated. In this version, the restaurant owner is replaced by a new, jerky neighbor.

The Beard: In "What Goerge Doesn't Noah..." Carmen dates a gay boy named Noah to cover up her real relationship with Zack. George and Benny catch Noah at the movies and see him kiss a boy, assuming he's cheating on Carmen while using her as a cover. They ultimately discover he isn't actually dating Carmen and what she was really doing.

Haplessly Hiding: Invoked In "The Trouble with Ricky", where Max tries to hide Ricky from his parents (who banned him from the house for inadvertently burning down the garage) by disguising him as a garbage bag and claiming he's throwing out old clothes. George and Angie don't buy it for a second, and they try to scare Ricky out by asking to dump coffee grinds and bacon grease in the bag.

Ambiguous Situation
 The George Lopez Show / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: The Season 2 episode "Girl Fight" sees George confront his old childhood bully Tommy "Rango" Durango, who is now working as one of the counselors at Carmen's high school, in order to stop Carmen being bullied (after her ex-boyfriend starts a rumor that they had sex, leading to her classmates labeling her the school whore), but Rango refuses to immediately punish the girls tormenting Carmen, believing that everything will blow over in a few days. In a flashback, we see that an incident where Rango beat up George and Ernie lead to him being expelled, and George suspects that his inaction towards Carmen's tormentors was his way of getting back at him, particularly when he suspends Carmen for supposedly instigating a fight with another girl (when actually it was the other girl who started the fight.) While it is implied somewhat that Rango might still be bitter towards George, it's never made particularly clear if that's indeed what he was doing, or if he was simply doing his job by trying to see both sides of the situation, because when he finally hears credible evidence that Carmen was indeed the victim, not only does he sincerely apologize for not taking action sooner, but he also reverses Carmen's suspension and suspends the girl who started the fight in the first place.

Benny's, too, according to Carmen, Max, and either the studio audience or (far more likely, since the laughter wasn't the least bit nervous) the Laugh Track. Disappeared Dad? Tragic. Eleven-year-old pretending to be his grandmother's father and (literally) belting her in effigy until the watermelon bust's eye fell off? Mind-bendingly hilarious.

Cruel to Be Kind: One episode features George holding a grudge against Benny for not letting him drive her car when he was a teenager. Benny insists she did this since she didn't want George wrecking the car. Losing the car would have screwed them since she was already working two jobs at the time. But she was actually afraid he could potentially drive the wrong way and die because of his dyslexia - not helped when a fellow neighborhood kid (who wasn't dyslexic) got into a tragic accident and died.

Parental Abandonment
 The George Lopez Show / int_297ab1b9
comment
Benny. This, along with his father's Parental Abandonment causes George to have some emotional issues. In her defense, his father walking out on her was a huge reason for her Tough Love approach. Also, her parents were much worse in their mistreatment of her than she ever was to George. She was also a single teen mom with no family willing to help her because of her Teen Pregnancy, forcing her to raise George on her own. She was also forced to drop out of high school a few years before her pregnancy to work in a factory to earn income, which she bitterly says made her feel like an old woman when she was still Just a Kid.

Break the Haughty
 The George Lopez Show / int_2af6bbeb
comment
Break the Haughty: Zack Powers pulled many cocky stunts over the years, largely because of his apathetic father. After sneaking off with Carmen, then ditching her in San Francisco when she refused to have sex with him, he's attacked by a very angry Benny. While we don't actually see it, we hear him howl in pain and Benny mentions directly after that Zack was "in a terrible accident". Vic and the rest of the Palmero family sneer at George and think of him as little more than a low-class cholo who's beneath them. Their utter shock when Claudia picks George to be the trustee of Veronica's very large trust fund instead of one of them (specifically because he's hardworking and "knows the value of money") is priceless.

She Is All Grown Up: A major source of frustration for George is the fact that his little girl Carmen has grown into a beautiful young woman, which has not escaped the notice of the guys around her. George even has to tell a man hitting on Carmen that she's underage, which sends the man quite literally running.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting
 The George Lopez Show / int_3039ffc7
comment
Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: George when compare to his disappearing father Manny and abusive mother Benny. Many episodes deal with George making the same mistakes his mother made, i.e. not giving Max help with his dyslexia or not believing that Carmen can make it into college, and correcting them in the end. Downplayed with Benny. While she was abusive towards George, she does genuinely love him and did her best at raising him. In contrast, her father was an alcoholic abuser and her mother considers her worthless and would also beat her.

Out of Focus
 The George Lopez Show / int_32da91b8
comment
Out of Focus: Carmen gets much less screentime in season 5. After the first two episodes dealing with Jason walking out on her, she doesn't get any subplots of her own. It's hinted at that this is because she's matured past her earlier storylines of boy troubles and partying and there isn't much going on her life anymore except for looking for colleges and getting her poetry published. After being added to the main cast and moving in with the Lopez family, Veronica receives little screentime and isn't the major focus of any storylines in the latter half of season 6. She is also the only main cast member (besides Carmen) who does not appear in the series finale. It is very bizarre as to why they added her to the main cast and then barely featured her.

Wakeup Makeup: "George's Grand Slam" subverts this.

Lethal Chef: Angie is constantly told she's this by almost everyone, especially Benny. She invokes this in the episode "George of the Rings" where — upon George suddenly remembering their anniversary — she gives him what looks like a delicious chocolate cake, but once he bites into it realizes it's actually made of dirt, vinegar, and a moth (as well as filling up a milk carton with tuna milk), revenge for having forgotten that their anniversary was three days ago. At the end of the episode, George decides to give it to Benny... who weirdly enjoys it, confusing George enough to take another bite and realize nope, it's still terrible.

What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Used in-universe for laughs in one of the Christmas specials. George takes his family to a rendition of A Christmas Carol... except it turns out to be a Grimdark, urban version of the story. Scrooge is a drug-dealing pimp and Tiny Tim is killed off in a drive-by shooting two minutes in. We don't see much else but according to Angie and Carmen, Santa Claus gets killed for wearing the wrong colors and a pitbull mauling is also somehow involved in the play.

Teens Are Monsters: In season 2 episode 13, Carmen breaks up with her boyfriend, Adam. In revenge, he spreads a rumor that he only wanted sex and she easily gave it to him - claiming he dumped her after getting what he wanted. George and Angie end up getting involved after Carmen is dragged into a fight with the ringleader of her bullies and is suspended for defending herself. Despite their efforts to force the school to take action and make Adam confess that he lied, Carmen still ends up having to transfer schools because her reputation is ruined and her classmates continue to torment her for simple amusement. Carmen is all but traumatized from being relentlessly bullied, sexually harassed, and wrongly branded "the school whore" despite her innocence.

Mister Seahorse: Continuing after an episode of when Carmen runs away, one scene of George Lopez shows Carmen (his daughter) returning home, but with a twist — she is pregnant! After this, George then realizes not only his daughter is pregnant, but also is his wife and his mother. Then, his son Max walks into the room with a large belly as well. After asking his father, "Where is this going to come out?", George abruptly wakes up and responds aloud, "If you're lucky, your bellybutton!" It was All Just a Dream induced from all the stress of worrying to where Carmen ran away. In a completely different way, George was wearing a seahorse hat at Carmen's quinceanera.

Noodle Incident: George and Angie apparently had a very memorable "trip to the lake" that is mentioned in several episodes. Another time Angie once told George never to describe his house as his castle. George mentions the last time the workers came back to the factory drunk; Benny threw her gun, "Harriet," off the Hoover dam to ensure "the case is closed". When Angie inquires further about it, Benny firmly repeats "Case. Closed."

Psychological Projection
 The George Lopez Show / int_3e87fc1f
comment
Psychological Projection: The entire plot of the episode "George's House of Cards" is Vic basically doing this to George. After Vic loses $50 to George in a poker game, he outright refuses to pay him, going so far as to lock George out of his own garage (which Vic loaned George $17,000 to rebuild after it was burned down, and he feels like for this reason alone he doesn't need to give George anything.) George resolves to pay Vic the full amount of the loan back to him in one sitting to move past the situation; he does this by opening eight new credit cards and taking out cash advances on all of them, unaware of how much interest he'll need to pay on it. When Vic admonishes George for making such a foolish decision because that was "no way to run a marriage", George counters back by replying, "Yeah, what do you know about marriage? At least my wife's not with another man right now.". Vic then dejectedly removes the lock from the garage and confesses to George that when he lost the $50 in the poker game, it reminded him of how his wife had taken advantage of his trust, and the whole time he had been projecting his anger at Emelina onto George. They both apologize to each other, Vic agrees to restore the previous arrangent regarding the loan, and George in turn agrees to return the money to the credit cards.

Humble Parent, Spoiled Kids: In one episode, Max and Carmen anger George when Carmen signs up for an expensive cell phone plan so she could get an advanced phone model and Max carelessly breaks his toy trucks under the assumption his parents will just buy him more. In an effort to show them just how lucky they are to have a comfortable middle-class lifestyle, he forces them to spend the weekend at his mother's poorly kept house (where she puts them to work cleaning it) to see what his poverty-stricken childhood was like. This is exactly why Veronica's late mother chose George as the executor of her will. She knew all too well that her own wealthy, spoiled family would squander her wealth and be unable to teach Veronica financial (and general) responsibility. That's why she chose middle-class, hardworking George to manage things and teach Veronica the value of money and how to be responsible. Downplayed with Vic, who openly acknowledges this trope. Having endured an impoverished childhood in Fidel Castro's Cuba, once he made it to America and became wealthy, he gave his kids everything they wanted so they wouldn't have to live the horrible childhood he did. As he puts it, it "destroyed" his son who became a rotten, entitled Jerkass and his other daughter only picks men based on money. Vic admits he has no idea how Angie grew up to be a kind, down-to-earth woman with how he spoiled his children, and for this reason admits George is a better father than him.

Secret Test of Character: In the first episode, George's boss Mr Powers tells George there will be some layoffs at the factory and as manager, George must choose which department will be dissolved. George picks his mother's department and Mr Powers reveals he was simply testing George to see if he had what it took to be manager.

Broken Aesop: Subverted in-universe, George decides to show Max why he needs to do well in school by giving him a job in the plant. This backfires when Max decides he enjoys the work, believing he should drop out and work full-time since he thinks he won't finish school anyway. George toys with letting him drop out and start working there but then has a vision where a 50-year-old Max has no options after the plant's workers are let go. He then decides to show Max how failing to get a proper education and expanding your career options can be when the workers panic when there's a simple rumor of the plant closing which turns out to be actually true.

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Zack Powers initially seems like a rebel with the heart of gold, considering his terrible childhood. But it's all an act to convince Carmen to have sex with him. He's probably the closest thing the show has to an actual antagonist. Thankfully, he's not in the series for very long.

Bait the Dog: Zack Powers is introduced by buying Carmen a necklace and is portrayed as a sympathetic guy. Over several episodes, he's gradually revealed to be a Manipulative Bastard who sees Carmen as a sex object, even bluntly telling George the relationship will be over "when Carmen gets out of bed to make [him] a sandwich". Benny says her mom was an abusive tyrant to her. When he finally meet her, she is portrayed a stern woman with understandable reasons to be annoyed with Benny, but is convinced by George to help her in a court case. Then she gets on the stand and cruelly puts Benny down, even admitting to beating her and deeming her a "worthless whore" - showing she's as heartless as Benny made her out to be. In the Season 6 episode "George's Bogey-ous Relationship with Vic Is Putt to the Test", Vic invites George to join him in a Father's Day golf tournament because, according to Angie, he considers George to be a surrogate son and wants to spend some quality time with him. The two bond quite well during the day and Vic even calls George "son" several times, but at the last hole Vic reveals that the only reason he wanted George to come with him was because of his golfing skills. George feels so betrayed by this that he actually breaks down crying because "no one wants to be [his] dad." He even deliberately throws the tournament and storms off upset, much to Vic's confusion. Ernie later tells Vic why George was so upset, and to Vic's credit, he genuinely feels terrible for misleading George. At the end of the episode, the two make up, and Vic admits that he is happy about how close the two have become and that he would indeed be proud if George was his son.

Everyone gets in a moment or two over the course of the series, but special mention has to go to Benny whose social and child-raising skills border on being sociopathic. Apparently, this is because Benny's parents are even worse, they physically and verbally abused her and are strongly implied to be the main reason for Benny's mistreatment of George. George admits that, compared to what his mother put with up from her parents, she actually treated him pretty good as a kid.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 The George Lopez Show / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: More of a cosmetic version, but it's strange to go back and watch the episode "Prototype" and see George with long, poofy black and shiny hair and Benny with a fuller and more wrinkly face due to Belita Moreno wearing age makeup to make herself look older. It's also jarring to see the early episodes where Vic hates George and they have a very strained relationship when Vic later becomes a regular on the show and he and George, although still snarky at each other, have a much better relationship. A minor example, but Benny was just a jerk early in the series. In later seasons, she performed outright criminal actions or was confirmed or implied to performed a crime in the past. One episode shows her selling losing lottery tickets while another is about her worker's comp fraud. She went out with "Harriet," her gun, repeatedly while George was a boy and ended up having to toss off the Hoover dam.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Unlike her siblings, Angie does not con people for money, doesn't behave impulsively, is Happily Married, and is a loving mother to her children. Vic and George mention it when Vic expresses regrets about having spoiled his kids to where they became bad people. George points out that Angie turned out a good person and Vic remarks how it's a miracle. George can be this to his brother George II (Lou Diamond Phillips). George was raised by Benny and had to work hard to achieve his good life, while the other George was raised by two doting parents in a more wealthy upbringing, yet can't properly handle his finances and tried to borrow money from his brother (who was going into debt to send his daughter to a private school to avoid bullying).

When George and Benny read his text messages that indicate he's cheating on Carmen, they follow and spy on Noah as he goes to the movie theater. When a pretty girl shows up, they assume that's the person he's cheating with... only to see him kiss the boy next to him. It later turns out that Carmen was only using Noah as a cover-up so she could secretly see Zack.

Hilariously Abusive Childhood
 The George Lopez Show / int_69cc2a27
comment
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Mentioned every episode. Usually, Benny says something about how much she cared for George; such as mentioning a time she "threw her body on his when their car caught on fire". Then George would say something like "Because your car door got stuck and you were climbing over me to get out!" Not just his childhood. The Tag for one episode was Benny serving up a plate of ice cream but letting the dog have a shot at it first. Cue her sweetly calling out, "George! Your ice cream is ready!" This was actually in revenge for George serving her a steak that had been licked by the dog. Though George actually admitted that the dog licked it, Benny still remarks, "I've fed you worse - medium rare." Benny's, too, according to Carmen, Max, and either the studio audience or (far more likely, since the laughter wasn't the least bit nervous) the Laugh Track. Disappeared Dad? Tragic. Eleven-year-old pretending to be his grandmother's father and (literally) belting her in effigy until the watermelon bust's eye fell off? Mind-bendingly hilarious.

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Every character (except for perhaps Zack Powers) portrays elements of selfishness but also elements of humanity and kindness. Some characters might be closer to one or the other but you could find that most characters are a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Prison Rape: In "George Watches Out For Jason", Carmen and Jason are arrested when someone at a party they are hosting was in possession of drugs. Carmen is released but learns that Jason won't be since he's a minor and his parents are not in the country; so there's no one to release him to.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In one episode, when Max tries to upgrade the computer but breaks it, Angie says that it contained all her business files, photos of their family vacations, and "a journal containing her private thoughts". In "Wrecking Ball", George lists all the times Benny lied to him: "You said that my dad was dead, that I didn't have a sister, you said that that plastic garbage bag you threw in the river was a hamster submarine...and when his mission was over, Mr. Winkie would come back!" Another time, George listed several instances of abuse Benny inflicted on him, mentioning that she never celebrated his birthday, occasionally left him home alone without food, and brought up one occasion where she allegedly made him do a "funny baby dance" for some friends of hers after giving him beer.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 The George Lopez Show / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Ernie gets engaged to Tammy, his foster child's mother in the fourth season. It's mentioned in the following episode, and after that Ernie's back to being a socially awkward single guy. A little bit later, it's revealed that he and Tammy broke up because "he wanted to communicate and she wanted to sleep with others guys". George's aunt Cecelia only appears in one episode, to start the over-arching plotline of George trying to find his dad. She reveals that Benny lied about him being dead, and that he never held George. From the same episode that Cecelia appears in, we are introduced to the Powers' niece, Campbell Powers. She is never seen again. "God Needs George": Although Mr. Needles survives, he never appears again in the series despite a mention once in a while. Benny's dog, McLeod, only shows up in one episode, and it's the same episode he's first mentioned in. George's fake father, Lalo, only appears in one episode. It ends with George asking him to be an Honorary Uncle to his kids, which he accepts as he's already wanted a family. He never shows up again after that episode. Randy, Benny's love interest played by Nick Offerman, first appeared in the first episode of season 3, and continued to appear regularly until he broke off his engagement to Benny. Randy only appears once more after this, in season 4, and is never seen again. What makes this a jarring example is that the last time we see Randy is during an episode where the factory jobs are in jeopardy and Benny initially takes Randy's offer to move in. After the jobs are saved Benny tells Randy "I can't take this. You're smothering me," and that's the last we ever see of him. Hosni, an Arabic employee at the factory, is never seen again after the episode introducing him. Lou Powers, the eldest of the Powers family only appears in one episode and his existence is never brought up again. Carmen's school friends Olivia and Kenzie are only seen once and never again. Vanessa, the Vice-President of the factory (after the merger with Aerocorp) is never seen again after her debut.

Wham Episode: The season 5 finale. George sets his mother up on a date with one of her ex-boyfriends only to realize the man is a wanted criminal. As if that isn't bad enough, Benny could go to jail for unintentionally aiding and abetting him 30 years ago. Vic is engaged to a younger woman who is quite obviously only interested in him for his money. Carmen is nervous about whether or not she will be accepted into the final college she applied to after being rejected from all the others. The factory is moving to Mexico, which means George and Ernie might lose their jobs. And Angie might be pregnant with a third child and is reading a pregnancy test to confirm it.

It's implied (but never outright stated) that he's still bitter at George over the incident and was deliberately looking the other way when Carmen endures bullying from a group of girls in order to get even with him.

The Needs of the Many: In "Profiles In Courage", the Powers Brothers fear that Arab employee Hosni will jeopardize their chance at a government contract. They order George to demote him to office work. When George protests against this, the brothers inform him that if they lose the contract they will have to lay off twenty people - forcing George to make the difficult decision of demoting Hosni. He even brings up this point to Hosni, saying as much as he hates demoting him for racist reasons, he can't risk twenty people losing their job for one person.

Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: An almost laughable use of this trope in one episode, where a girl that can easily be confused for having two fathers (they were actually her uncle and the uncle's friend) has one or both of the men say some line that assures the audience that they sleep with tons of women all the time, multiple times, in every scene that they were in. A gay manager at a clothing store that Ernie and George go to find a suit for the former mistakes them for a gay couple thanks to Ernie's wording, prompting George to correct him.

Closer to Earth
 The George Lopez Show / int_ab9311f0
comment
Closer to Earth: Both played straight and viciously subverted - George is impulsive and cynical, but more of a realist, while Angie is more sensible but also very idealistic and naive. When her sensibility goes up against his street smarts, a favorite gag for the show to use is for her to seemingly win out - only for her solution to be completely ineffective and for George to have been right all along. The show tried to imply that Angie would normally be right, like the time they both wanted to get rid of an offensive statue in a neighbor's yard. Her strongly worded letter and petition to the Neighborhood Watch succeeded where George's idea of smashing it to pieces didn't (the neighbor simply bought more). However, the majority of the time that Angie's argument failed was when she tried to get George and his mom to be closer and loving in a more traditional sense. She grew up in a more well-off and close-knit family and had trouble accepting that some families (like George and Benny) were simply screwed-up, not idealistic like hers, and they choose to show love in more unorthodox matters.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse
 The George Lopez Show / int_ad17a1ac
comment
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Zack Powers is an cocky, Jerkass delinquent. But, Mel basically neglects Zack while his mother is "a bitter old drunk". However, despite this, he's done a long list of horrible deeds; such as getting a girl pregnant because he didn't bother to use protection, embezzled company money, vandalized his father's factory just to spite him (which nearly got Benny fired), and convinced Carmen to run away with him to San Francisco only to ditch her there when she refused to have sex with him. This shreds even a little sympathy audiences may have for him. Lampshaded by George, who also grew up with an absent father and bitter alcoholic mother, but chose to get his act together. Angie has a downplayed version of this trope when she learns about Ricky's unpleasant homelife. Despite feeling bad about Ricky's situation and wanting to help him, it doesn't change that he's a bad influence on Max and repeatedly destroyed various parts of their home to be allowed to stay.

Arc Villain: Zack Powers for a critical arc for Carmen during Season 3. He's a misogynistic, sex-crazed Jerkass who just wants sex from her. What's worse, is she refuses to believe he's a bad guy despite his criminal history and mistreatment of girls; outright saying her parents just want to ruin her romance and they're "in love." He even convinces her to run away with him when her parents refuse to let her see him. He eventually takes her to a hotel where he tries to convince her to have sex, even trying to get her drunk to make her compliant. When she still refuses, he takes her to a club and dumps her there; leaving her to sob in a bathroom when forced to realize her parents were right.

Digital Destruction: The show is made in 16:9, but cropped to 4:3 for viewers who don't have widescreen televisions. This is jarring in recent reruns (unless you're watching in HD) still used the 4:3 format. Even the first three seasons on disc still have the fullframe version. Fortunately, the Amazon and iTunes versions are in 16:9. Also sucks to those who participated in the Disneyland contest as many of those Mickey symbols were hidden out of the frame. Some of the recent reurns on Nick have the weird PAL format effect. Some episodes that are effected are the George Bush one.

Abusive Parents
 The George Lopez Show / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Benny. This, along with his father's Parental Abandonment causes George to have some emotional issues. In her defense, his father walking out on her was a huge reason for her Tough Love approach. Also, her parents were much worse in their mistreatment of her than she ever was to George. She was also a single teen mom with no family willing to help her because of her Teen Pregnancy, forcing her to raise George on her own. She was also forced to drop out of high school a few years before her pregnancy to work in a factory to earn income, which she bitterly says made her feel like an old woman when she was still Just a Kid. Jason's father is revealed to be this in season 4. When Angie tells him his son was arrested, he reacts to the news with nonchalance and it's later revealed he forced Jason to take steroids to give him an edge in football.

Take Five: Used when George and Angie have to talk about their finances and Ernie just opens a can of orange soda during the discussion. He doesn't want to leave since "he just opened this can," and George gives him a rather nasty look.

Not just his childhood. The Tag for one episode was Benny serving up a plate of ice cream but letting the dog have a shot at it first. Cue her sweetly calling out, "George! Your ice cream is ready!" This was actually in revenge for George serving her a steak that had been licked by the dog. Though George actually admitted that the dog licked it, Benny still remarks, "I've fed you worse - medium rare."

Dysfunctional Family: The Lopez family. Along with George and Benny constantly arguing and his father Manny having left them when George was an infant. The Palmero family isn't clean either. Angie's mom cheated on Vic after decades of marriage, eventually leaving him. Vic made out with Benny while drunk, and then also had a fling with George's younger sister, who's in her thirties. Angie's sister Gloria divorced her husband after learning he cheated on her and was desperate enough to kiss George when seeing how good he treats Angie. Angie's brother, Ray, is a manipulative con artist who abandoned his daughter. Her niece Veronica is completely spoiled due to never having to work her whole life. It's implied that the reason Veronica's mother, Claudia, made George the trustee to Veronica's inheritance is that she knew her family was selfish and entitled people, while George was "normal" because he grew up struggling and is hardworking.

Hard Truth Aesop
 The George Lopez Show / int_bbc77bb5
comment
Hard Truth Aesop: The show gives the moral that sometimes bullying can get so bad, you have to walk away from the situation. Carmen is branded a whore at her first high school, due to her ex-boyfriend lying that he only dated her to have sex with her and dumped her as soon as she gave it to him. George and Angie get the leader of the bullies suspended, and convince her ex-boyfriend to confess he lied to save face. However, the episode ends with Carmen still being bullied (and things escalating to where she's being sexually harrassed), and George and Angie realizing Carmen will never get her reputation back, and she must switch schools to start fresh. Unfortunately, all of this is Truth in Television for many bullied kids in the world.

Sliding Scale of Continuity: Level 3, with some major plotlines that occur taking the show into level 4. For a sitcom, the show is generally quite good at it keeping its continuity, but does have its fair share of characters that fall to Chuck Cunningham Syndrome and Status Quo Is God moments.

Both Sides Have a Point: George, while staying at Ernie's during a feud with Angie, realizes how horrible his situation is when he witnesses how Ernie must spend most of his free time helping care for his morbidly obese mother. Ernie refuses to move out due to feeling guilty about no longer being around to help his mother. George counters that while Ernie is doing good by helping, her condition is not his responsibility and professional medical help should be called in for her. George also points out that even though Ernie's parents will be mad at him for leaving, Ernie will never be able to fully come into his own as a grown man as long as he stays a glorified live-in nurse for his mother.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male
 The George Lopez Show / int_c289826f
comment
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: The episode "George Joins the Neighborhood Wha-tcha and Raises the Vigil-ante" examines this. After discovering that a new neighbor was on a sexual predator watchlist, George riles up the neighborhood to confront them, but things end up going in a few directions: Initially, things are seemingly played straight as when they discover the predator is a woman, everyone — George included — casually dismisses her as a threat and goes home, George even outright saying "it's just a woman." However, accompanying this is the fact that said woman appears genuinely remorseful about her past actions, having served time in prison and in fact had listed herself on the predator watchlist, allegedly planning on notifying her new neighbors of her history on a personal basis before they decided to mob up on her. With that said, Angie doesn't accept her and still considers her dangerous, calling everyone out for their blasé acceptance of her track record just because she's a woman. This ends up fully called out by the episode's end as they discover Max coming out of the woman's house shirtless... which Max quickly explains is because he came there to hook up with her (and her thankfully throwing him out on sight) as he felt that, based on what his dad said, it wouldn't be a big deal. In the end, George realizes his double standard and properly warns Max that regardless of genders, what he tried to do with a known sex offender was massively dangerous.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
 The George Lopez Show / int_c33ba0a8
comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Basically any side character except Vic (who eventually became a main cast member), Jason (who got a proper sendoff), Gina, Jack and Mel disappeared without explanation. The most notable examples are: Claudia, George's secretary in Season 1. Mr. Needles, the dog the Lopezes bought from a homeless man, disappeared after Season 3. Seeing that he had countless health problems, it's possible that he died offscreen. "George's Bogey-ous Relationship with Vic Is Putt to the Test" offers some credence to that; while complaining about how he always suffers whenever Angie forces him to create emotional attachments to others, he makes a passing reference to the dog. Ricky, Max's best friend last appeared in the episode "Friends Don't Let Friends Marry Drunks" when it's revealed that Ernie is dating Ricky's mom, Tammy. Ricky's disappearance is especially jarring since Ernie was his legal guardian at the time, though it's possible that Tammy took him back after she and Ernie broke up. Marisol, a former gang member who became George's secretary in Season 2 and even briefly lived with the Lopezes in the episode "Girls Night Out", which was her last appearance. Accident Amy. However, given that she was played by Sandra Bullock, who was too busy to continue playing the character, and her clumsy nature could have left her permanently hospitalized or dead, this one seems a bit justifiable. George II, George's half-brother, never appeared again after Manny's death. Even though Manny and George I had a rocky relationship, he and George II got along pretty well. Linda, George's long lost sister. Her final appearance involved her being (unknowingly) pimped out to Vic by George in exchange for $2,000. So like Amy, her departure is justified.

Aesop Amnesia
 The George Lopez Show / int_c435ec5d
comment
Aesop Amnesia: "George Helps Ernie See the Cellu-light" zigzags this. Ernie is gaining weight and overeating so women will reject him before he can say anything, due to a crippling fear of rejection. Ernie does lose the excess weight he gained and keeps it off so he can keep his job. In the end, he asks a girl out and she says yes. In future episodes, despite the weight loss, Ernie still has a tough time with women. The main focus of the episode was Ernie's excessive weight gain which he did successfully undo, so while he learned that Aesop, he didn't stick to the other one about gaining confidence to talk to women. George goes through this. He didn't learn anything from his time at high school. In college, he continues to try to get by through being the class clown and never asks the teacher for any help.

Misery Builds Character: An Aesop that appears in several episodes that deal with George's childhood. Yeah he grew up poor, abused, neglected, suffered from learning disabilities and was left with a lot of issues. However, George gained a lot of lessons from it which he applies throughout the series. It gave him the nerve to ask Angie out, he has proven more responsible than many of the other adults, and he's a lot better off than Ernie or his half-brother, who had good parents.

Reset Button: Averted. Take, for instance, the time Carmen gained a reputation as a whore. Turned out her boyfriend had propositioned her, and she turned him down, he started the rumor, and George forces him to take it back. This would be an ordinary Very Special Episode, except that the episode ends with Carmen still being teased at school, and George and Angie realize that they're going to have to find her a new school. Ouch.

Back to School: George goes back to school after attending a PTA meeting specifically for parents of students who didn't go to college. Max decides he doesn't need to go either so George wants to teach him a lesson. In the next episode, George drops out and lies to get out of it, but still has Max thinking he is to encourage him to do better.

Reasonable Authority Figure: The Powers Brothers. Despite being corrupt jerkasses, as stated above, they sincerely respect George and are always willing to listen to his ideas even if they won't agree with them, and are sincerely apologetic whenever he tells them that they've offended him in some way. They've even helped him with some family problems, such as planning his vow renewal and teaching Max not to lie and the value of hard work.

All Abusers Are Male: Subverted in "George Joins the Neighborhood Wha-tcha and Raises the Vigil-ante". The neighborhood watch learns that a registered sex offender named Cris Watson has moved into the neighborhood. They form a mob outside the person's house and are surprised to discover the sex offender is a woman — not a man. Angie calls out their suddenly lax behavior about it, calling it a double standard.

Awkward Poetry Reading
 The George Lopez Show / int_dd9c010b
comment
Awkward Poetry Reading: One episode involved Carmen getting into slam poetry with a friend. Carmen's first attempt at writing poetry is a shallow love poem about how much she loves her boyfriend. Her friend encourages her to write angrier poetry based on her personal struggles. When George, her father, is dismissive of her new hobby, Carmen uses this as inspiration for her poetry. However, he comes around and shows up at the poetry club to listen to her read her poem. The episode ends with him watching Carmen as she begins reciting the angry poem she wrote about him.

Continuity Snarl
 The George Lopez Show / int_df582b0b
comment
Continuity Snarl: This series is normally pretty good at keeping the continuity intact and throwing in many Continuity Nods, but there have been a few continuity errors that have slipped through. Mrs. Cardenas is initially depicted as an average-sized Mexican woman. This is dropped in favor of making her a morbidly obese fat joke who is often heard instead of seen, and when she is seen she is only shown from the waist down. The writers can't seem to decide whether Benny was 16 or 17 when she got pregnant with George. Also, in one episode, she mentions that she dropped out of school at 15 before getting pregnant, then a few episodes later she says she was bullied at school for being pregnant. In "Super Bowl", the episode where Benny's brother Joe dies, George says that both of Benny's parents were dead. A few seasons later, when Benny is on trial for a crime she'd committed 30 years prior, her mother, Luisa is still alive and very reluctantly testifies for her. Ironically, Joe's passing is mentioned sarcastically by Luisa in this episode. One episode reveals that Angie asked George to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, aka their first date, as part of a competition with the other cheerleaders to see who could bring the biggest loser. After this episode, the event is largely ignored and the writers zig-zag between George asking Angie out and Angie asking George out because she felt sorry for him. In the episode before the finale, George states that Ernie doesn't know to take care of kids, despite Ernie watching Max in one episode and taking care of Ricky in a few. He was even taking care of 3 kids for a woman he was dating.

Mama Bear: In one episode, Angie is about to stop Carmen from being bullied by sending the school a "strongly worded letter". She drops that idea and marches straight to the school to confront the counselor upon learning that Carmen got into a fight and was wrongly suspended for it. When George asks if she's going to schedule an appointment on the school website, she has this to say... Toward the end of the "Carmen Runs Away" arc, Benny becomes a Grandmama Bear towards Carmen and attacks Zack powers with a wrench upon seeing him for all the trouble he caused her granddaughter. Angie almost strangles her brother while tying his tie for him after learning he planned to steal his daughter's money and bluntly says he disgusts her.

Know When to Fold 'Em
 The George Lopez Show / int_e16cd24e
comment
Know When to Fold 'Em: George and Angie do this in the Season 2 episode "Girl Fight" after Carmen is branded a whore at her first high school after her ex-boyfriend Adam tells people he had sex with her then dumped her because he got what he wanted. Even though one of the bullies (her former friend Piper) ends up being suspended after instigating a fight with Carmen and Adam agrees to tell everyone he lied, the bullying against Carmen has already escalated to the point where she's being sexually harassed and is too afraid to go back to school. It's clear that Carmen's reputation at that school has been damaged beyond repair, so the only option George and Angie have left is to transfer her to a private school. Lampshaded in the Season 3 episode "George's House of Cards". When everyone plays poker "No limits," Ernie folds before he even gets his cards.

Flanderization: Benny became more obnoxious as the show went on. At the beginning, George was a loving family man who only made snarky comments when the situation called for it. By the end of the series, he snarks at people almost constantly. Max was always a naive kid and - since the second season - known to be dyslexic, but he became increasingly prone to saying flat-out idiotic things as the show went on and he got older. By the final season, he had metamorphosed into a Butt-Monkey.

When George and Angie grill him after Carmen brings him home, it is revealed that he is a straight-A athlete on the debate team who spends his afternoons helping his disabled brother. By the end, he slides into more of a Broken Ace, since it's revealed that he's abusing steroids to compete in sports because he's so desperate for his emotionally-distant father's approval.

Jerkass: Everyone gets in a moment or two over the course of the series, but special mention has to go to Benny whose social and child-raising skills border on being sociopathic. Apparently, this is because Benny's parents are even worse, they physically and verbally abused her and are strongly implied to be the main reason for Benny's mistreatment of George. George admits that, compared to what his mother put with up from her parents, she actually treated him pretty good as a kid.

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: In "Curious George". Carmen, Angie and Benny are talking about why men suck. Carmen says that her ex Duncan was a jerk, Angie says that her first boyfriend dumped her for someone with bigger boobs and Benny says that her first boyfriend knifed her and then stole her car. In one episode where Benny meets Manny's new wife, Lydia, she says that Benny was the first person to dance with Manny, the first person he married, and the first person to pull a knife on him.

Easily Forgiven: Angie treated Jason's wheelchair-bound younger brother like this, even after he humiliated her by publicly posting a photo of her in a wet t-shirt. This is averted when Jason called her out for it, saying that she was giving him a sense of entitlement by treating him differently because he's handicapped. Zigzagged with Ricky. While he and Max were close friends, Ricky has a history of getting into trouble; he ruined various household items, eventually getting banned from being in the Lopez house. He and Maz were allowed to play in the yard, but Ricky set off the firecracker that burned down the garage and, after this, destroys their fence by driving George's car through it. After the final incident, George declares that Max can never see him again, deeming Ricky a Toxic Friend Influence. But then he meets Ricky's mom, who's drunk at 10 AM, and learns his father abandoned him. George was willing to forget Ricky's bad history and wanted him stay at the house. But Angie notes that Ricky's rough life doesn't excuse his bad influence on Max and they need to think about their own child first. But Ernie then offers to help...

Death Equals Redemption: Harshly averted in the case of Manny Lopez.

Any relationship improvement he developed with his estranged son and ex-wife up to this point is instantly ruined, and George and Benny can likely never forgive him now.
