A&E > "The George Lopez Show"

ABC is canceling the George Lopez Show after five seasons. I had only seen the show of couple times, but I thought it was funny. The last episode I saw was a hilarious take on then-recent events.

In that episode George is the head of the community watch program. His wife goes online to find out if any convicted sex offenders live in their area and discovers that one moved in just down the street! The watch members become enraged and start acting like a lynch mob. George's wife tries to reason with them, but they won't listen.

They march down to the neighbors house ready to run the sex offender out of town. Then they discover the sex offender is a woman. She's a former teacher who had sex with an underage male student. The mob decides that's no big deal and quietly goes home.

Now George's wife is outraged - she doesn't want this woman living in the neighborhood with their teenaged son. George tries to tell his wife that it's different when it's an older woman and a younger man and besides, the teacher's pretty hot. Good stuff.
