I present to you, the Deadline descriptions of two upcoming shows:
The CW has picked up two episodes of “Perez Hilton Superfan,” an unscripted series featuring the celebrity blogger getting close and personal with a different superstar each week. The series of specials was originally commissioned by U.K.’s ITV2 in November with a four-episode order, which premiered in December. The two specials acquired by the CW showcase Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. With the acquisition, “Superfan” joins Kinetic’s two unscripted U.S. broadcast series, recent ABC entry “You Deserve It” and NBC’s “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers.” (Via)
George Lopez is returning to the family sitcom genre. I’ve learned that Lopez, star, co-creator and executive producer of multi-camera sitcom “George Lopez,” which ran on ABC for six seasons and 120 episodes, has closed a deal in principal with Lionsgate TV subsidiary Debmar-Mercury to co-create and star in a new multi-camera comedy about a Latino family. (Via)
There are 11 things that annoy me about the two block quotes above. See if you can name them all. (I’m making you guys do the work because I like to channel Perez Hilton, who rather than providing any insightful or clever commentary with his totally unearned, yet massive amount of power, instead draws penises on Miley Cyrus’s face and ends every sentence with “!!!!!!!!!lolz!!!” You could say I’m as lazy as a sombrero-wearing Mexican who wants to take a siesta after coming home from his job cutting grass all day, while his 77 kids jump the border, which, coincidentally, is the rumored plot of George Lopez’s new show.)

Kudos for resisting the urge to draw cocks and stink lines on both of them.
This is why we get 9/11′d.
Another multi-camera family sitcom. Greeeaaaat. I guess I should expect great writing and innovation, right?
Perez Hilton makes me hate silly celebrity gossip, and I LOVE silly celebrity gossip.
So are we sure Perez Hilton doesn’t have downs-syndrome? Because he’s a snuggie and a drool stain away from being my cousin Fishstick.
Cousin Fishstick! I love it.
*squirrels that one away*
Lopez should play a husband and father who faces death, only to be saved by his wife, who gives him a kidney. And then he cheats on her with prostitutes.
Nice.
Ouch
I still wouldn’t watch it, unless they cast someone who can act in the part of George Lopez.
Headlines like the one for this post makes me sympathize with the Unabomber.
/starts writing manifesto
Annoyances:
#1 — George Lopez
#2 — Perez Hilton
#3 & #4 — Their respective new shows
#5 — “George Lopez” was on for six seasons(!)
#6 — Lady Gaga
#7 — Katy Perry in a speaking role
#8 thru #11 — Having to report on the dreck.
*this* dreck
Curse my metal body!
1. The CW
2. TWO episodes of a show
3. Perez Hilton
4. Premise of the show
5. “Lady Gaga showcase”
6. “You Deserve It”
7. “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers”
8. George Lopez
9. Multi-camera family sitcom
10. Premise of the show
11. “George Lopez” lasting 120 episodes
See Josh, you’re better than that asshole Perez
That’s all I’ve wanted to hear my entire life, Waymond.
I’m not allowed to meet Perez Hilton. Because if I meet Perez Hilton, I might commit a hate crime. Not against gay people, a hate crime directly against Perez Hilton. As in a “I hate that fucker so much that it might land me in jail” kind of hate crime.
I’m going to guess that neither block quote mentions either man dying a horrible, screaming death.
I’d rather see a new multi-Latino comedy about a camera at this point. Stop trying to make George Lopez happen TV – it hasn’t worked in the past and won’t work now!
Perez Hilton and TMZ should join forces to create a show based with low security and easily bribed guards.
1. Perez Hilton succeeding
2. CW continues reality fare that doesn’t involve any sort of reality
3. G-Lo returning to our TV
4. 10-90 model of TV production that is going to destroy us all
5. “family sitcom genre” played as a positive
6. Perez and George Lopez both being role models for the Latino community
7. More glitter on CW
8. the term “celebrity blogger”
9. 120 episodes of George Lopez and I can’t remember a single one I accidentally might have recorded for my dad
10. No possible return of the atrocity that is Lopez Tonight
11. Realizing I spend way too much time thinking about Perez Hilton’s Jonah Hill-esque weight loss
Bonus: “You Deserve It”? No one deserves anything.
You know George Lopez used to be funny. I swear. What annoys me is that with all the money he’s made, he’s just going back to the inane sitcom well. How about advancing some perceptions, rather than another goofy dad with a hot wife making quick asides in Spanglish, tambien?
Fuck you. No, seriously, fuck you. I didn’t read a single word past the title and just aaargharpfffffftfaaaaaart.
This new George Lopez show will be awful, but not because they describe it as “Latino.”
Any show on prime time can be described as “White family” but they instead say “Suburban couple with new baby” or “Watch what happens when her career as a blogger takes off”. We intrinsically know that it is about white people. So when the show is not about white people, then I think the race of the people on the show should be mentioned so as not to shock us. We all saw what happened when an Asian dude creeped up on us and dribbled a ball just like a black does. We all almost lost our minds.
1) the term celebrity associated with hilton
2) gaga and perry being referred to as superstars
3) lopez being calle a star
4-11) the idea that either of these two should be making anything above the poverty line
I don’t have time to read this; so there is going to be a George Lopez/Perez Hilton porno?
