George Lopez

When well-liked George becomes the first guy to be promoted from the assembly line to plant manager at a Los Angeles airplane parts factory, his life becomes a little more complicated. His pal Ernie and former compadres on the plant floor tease him about joining management. George's first test in the new position is to terminate one employee. He must choose either his acerbic line-inspector mother, Benny, or Ernie. George's hardworking and patient wife, Angie, copes with Benny's constant wisecracks and cares for the couple's kids, precocious 9-year-old Max and 13-year-old Carmen, who is dealing with the traumas of being a teenager.

George bumps into his long lost Aunt Cecilia who informs him that his father, who his mom has always insisted was dead, is still alive. After drawing the truth from Benny, George conjures up images of his fantasy dad, played by guest star Esai Morales, and sets out on a mission to find the real Manny Lopez. Meanwhile, Angie buys a sickly dog from a homeless man and vows to return him to health and adopt him as the family pet.

George prepares the crew for a visit from the President of the United States. But he becomes so wrapped up in the thrill of the day's events and the horror of Carmen's unexpected political outbursts, he commits a crime without being aware of it. When the police knock on his door, he's arrested for something entirely unexpected and is forced to meet his estranged father face-to-face. In the meantime, Benny drops a bomb on George about the new man in her life.

With Carmen still gone, George goes on a hunt for her and eventually finds her in San Francisco with rapper Chingy. He finally gets her to return home, but the problems aren't over yet...

Disaster strikes when George's mom forgets about a lit cigarette. Carmen is determined to marry her boyfriend Jason and have a baby, much to George and Angie's dismay.

Just as Carmen prepares to go off to college and George and Angie begins looking forward to being empty nesters, Angie discovers that the Lopez family could be growing. Meanwhile, George's job is in jeopardy, Benny faces jail time for a crime from days gone by and Vic contemplates engagement to a much younger woman, in the season premiere broadcast.
