CBS released its midseason schedule today, and I’m not going to pretend to give a crap about the minor tweaks to the newest batch of imitation comedy gruel. The only real news is that Rob Schneider’s previously untitled new show about living with Mexican in-laws is going to be named “¡Rob!”
*kisses fingertips* That’s perfect. So succinct. The inverted exclamation mark lets you know Latin excitement is on the way, the “Rob” part lets you know that it’s about Rob, and the final exclamation point is universal symbol of a quality television show. This kind of wonderful television news is precisely what I needed to lift my spirits after the disappointing “Community” news.
Even though “¡Rob!” is unquestionably the most perfect name for a show ever, I came up with ten other titles that could have worked just as well:
1. “¡Viva El Rob!”
2. “Border Disputes”
3. “Two and a Half Mang”
4. “¡Ay Chihuahua!”
5. “Papi Seeds”
6. “Dos Bigalow”
7. “Mi Familia”
8. “So I Married an Immigrant”
9. “Gracias, Señor Sandler”
10. “Two *chihuahua barks* and a *bike horn*“

Wait a sec… Crazy asian guy meets hot latin woman? “Community” already did that with Senor Chang!
Should have gone with “Everybody Loves Roberto”
Hey, Rob Schneider’s still alive.
A-Rob con Pollo?
“¡Frihungryjoles To Feed!”
*must stop reading the personals in the free weekly*
This kind of reminds me of the last time I tried to buy Vicodin in Tijuana and I got “¡Robbed!”
CIS: Miami
Moderna Familia, steal some thunder! Also if anyone I know admits to watching this show they’re going to get such a nut punching
How do you say ‘the very thought of living in a world where this show is on television and community is on hiatus makes me want to drink battery acid’ in spanish?
I hope Matthew Perry gets at LEAST a cameo appearance……
….but making him their pool-boy would be a nice touch…
“¡DERP!”
Hey, Rob Schneider’s still alive.
I’m still not convinced.
It’s a show about a Jewish schlub who marries into a Mexican family?
I’m going with “Habla Nagila.”
Just mail me the checks, Hollywood. I can do this all day.
Was “Por Que?” taken?
i would have preferred rob schneider as a stapler…
Rob Schneider es una zanahoria!
@Ottoman: That’s just tremendous. Go ahead and cut-out of work early today, you’ve earned it.
How about “Schneider’s Listo!”
Google translate it, I’ll wait…..
Bravo, Pete. Bravo.
Otto, you hit it out of the park. I could see CBS going with Habla Nagila, if only it weren’t so ethnic-sounding.
“Donde esta Communidad?”
“Parks & Immigration”
“What’s Happeneeng”
@Otto, I would watch the shit out of “Habla Nagila”.
Nagila, please!
I said it and I’m not sorry.
Fuck. I’m changing my name.
“The inverted exclamation mark lets you know Latin excitement is on the way”
Did anyone else read that as “Latin excrement”?
@F_cking Motherf_cker -
I did. I still do.
