Following a 10 episode run with low ratings, FX has reportedly decided to cancel Saint George. There won’t be a second season of the sitcom.
On Saint George, a recently divorced successful entrepreneur (George Lopez) struggles to balance the parenting demands of his All-American Anglo ex-wife and the cultural expectations of his overbearing Mexican-American mother. The cast also includes Jenn Lyon, Olga Merediz, Kaden Gibson, David Zayas, Danny Trejo, Diana-Maria Riva, Joey Pollari, and Tobit Raphael.
FX made a deal with Debmar-Mercury (part of Lionsgate) that if the first season hit a certain ratings threshold, the cable channel would be obligated to order a second season of 90 episodes (similar to the Anger Management deal).
The sitcom debuted in March to 1.21 million viewers but the ratings quickly fell in subsequent episodes. The season (now series) finale drew just 651,000 viewers. As a result of the low ratings, FX has opted not to order a second season.
Though Saint George has been cancelled, Lionsgate is open to working with Lopez again. FX and Lionsgate are currently working on another 10-90 series, Partners. Starring Martin Lawrence and Kelsey Grammer, the comedy debuts Monday, August 4th.
What do you think? Did you like Saint George? Do you think it should have been cancelled or, renewed for a second season?
Hey, cancelled is still cancelled, shows that his s#!t doesn’t hold water…he’s a flash in the pan and the refried jokes he kept putting out there were lame and tired. Sorry, but he’s out and had his chances now let’s move on, nothing to see here.
Love it how people hate lol every one’s entitled to their own opinion truth is none of these comments matter George is definitely funny and umm ya.rich as.**** so haters gonna hate but real talk o boy made it long ago and the fact that every one here is commenting on George proves that….george is the ****
After George Lopez’ HBO special, he deserves the lack of success he’s had recently. His comedy turned to a show boat against others in the industry. “What happened Puto?” Seriously though, he lost me and my family…and from the sounds of it, half of the small number of fans he once had. FX on the other hand, ROCKS!! The 2014 spring/summer season alone has been awesome! Fargo, Tyrant, The Strain, and comedies like Married and You’re the Worst keep my DVR full!
Thanks FX (espscially for taking Goerge off my TV guide)
One of the funniest comedians today!!!! Show was hilarious and FX sucks
I think overall George was very funny! A second season would have been worth the gamble? The 10 episodes was not enough time for it to get off the ground! I hope George will be back!
I was hoping this show would be like his last … disappointed. All he did was bash white people a kid he had no chemistry with wife too and the mother was annoying. His uncle and friend weren’t funny. No surprise
George is jack ass
Loved it very funny and very good political view to brake the sterotype George Lopez #Awesome
George always talks about don’t forget where you came from. Well he’s the first to forget where he came from . Freaken hip a crit.
That’s good that they cancelled his show He’s a jack ass!!
Hey, vp44….. stop using the race card….. We’re allll sick to death of that coming from anyone who doesn’t get their way.
He sucks and his show probably sucked. Never saw it…. can’t stand him!
Well said, Rose. I’m Latino and although we want Latino’s to succeed, George lacked talent. One or two jokes failed to keep the audience so that’s why people tuned him out. It’s not about his race, it’s the jokes man. They’re lousy.
It’s because he is NOT WHITE!! that’s the bottom line, if he were they would not have cancelled him, pure and simple discrimination. They can all go to HELL!!!!!!
I don’t think so, he had his three chances and the ratings weren’t enough for the show to go on…where does this race issue come in? If that were the case he wouldn’t have had a show in the first place,don’t you think?
No, they cancelled it because it got bad ratings. Don’t be stupid and pull the race card on something like this.
I didn’t wanna watch it because for one, it got horrible reviews (0% on Rotten Tomatoes) and two, the mother on the show literally seemed just like the mom on his first show, George Lopez. Not funny, just mean and aggravating.
I don’t see why…oh yeah, I forgot, it’s because he sucks!!! Why did they give this idiot a second chance? It’s the same old tired jokes, just with different characters. I remember seeing one of his first stand-up comedy shows. Where he spoke of Eric Estrada and how when they were filming CHPS in his neighborhood, he went up to Eric and tried to shake his hand and he was rebuffed. He made disparaging remarks about how much a “Big Shot” he was and kept on and on. Well, fast forward to his TV night show where he’d come out… Read more »
That’s what I was referring to — his attack on others on the HBO special. He even took a shot at Sheriff in Arizona. Why go there? Because the Sheriff is doing his job and doing the BEST job possible?
You lost George. Out! and Stay out!
I actually like it they just need to make some changes
