A Reader Reports On The
Cancellation Of A Token Comedy
From: A Reader
As someone who believes that media of genuine quality
could probably do more to uplift the country than any
realistic amount of "too-little, too-late" Head
Start programs, I was elated to see that George Lopez's
bland mediocre dreck of a sitcom has at last met its
ignominious end. [TV
just got a lot 'whiter,' says a canceled George Lopez,
LA Times Blog, May 14, 2007]
But imagine my delight when I read that Lopez made a
crybaby fool of himself by hinting at racism and
arrogantly implying that,
as a "Chicano," he has some sort of
fundamental right to be polluting the airwaves with his
self-proclaimed "important show."
I guess he forgot that the most popular show on TV, 'American
Idol', is extensively integrated and plenty of
other hit programs have multi-ethnic casts. Lopez' real
problem is not
racism from studios or indifferent audiences, but
his failure to produce a worthwhile program.
Cynical tokenism, which has sustained Lopez' show for
five useless seasons, is much more of an insult to
minorities than its merciful cancellation.
