George Lopez

The George Lopez Show is a nice deviation from the pervasive, saccharine trash found in network television nowadays. The characters are layered, the humor goes down well--and never sounds forced or old, the plotlines usually make some sense and there's aren't too many sappy, preachy, life-lessonish type moments--even the very few there are usually feel faintly meaningful and relatable. Just an all-around decent, well-made, balanced show.
