House of Buggin' was a Latino-themed sketch comedy television show which aired a mid-season replacement from January to April 1995, starring John Leguizamo and Luis Guzmán.[1] It was aired on the FOX Network, but removed from broadcasting schedules before the completion of the first season. According to Leguizamo's autobiography, the show was a replacement for In Living Color, using the same format, and was itself replaced by Mad TV.

The series primarily aired on Sundays on Fox.[2] [3]

Cancellation

By the end of the ten-episode season, ratings declined by 50% from the premiere episode. Fox suggested replacing the entire cast for the second season. Leguizamo refused, and the show was cancelled.[4]
