Saint George is an American television sitcom created by George Lopez, David McFadzean, and Matt Williams, which originally aired on FX from March 6, 2014, to May 8, 2014.[1] [2] [3] It is Lopez's first starring role in a scripted series since his ABC show George Lopez.[4]

As part of Debmar-Mercury and Lionsgate Television's syndication model, if the series hit certain ratings thresholds in its first 10-episode run, that would have triggered an additional 90-episode order.[2] [5] The program fell short of those thresholds and Saint George was canceled on June 25, 2014, after one season.[6]

Plot

Saint George revolves around the hectic life of a recently divorced working class Mexican-American who has become a successful entrepreneur. Lopez portrays the main character who must balance his family life—consisting of a demanding ex-wife, an 11-year-old son, and his mother, uncle, and cousin—and teaching history class at a night school once a week.[7] [8]

Reception

Saint George has been panned by critics. Reviews on the site Rotten Tomatoes were very scathing, with the show holding a 0% rating and average score of 3.6/10. The consensus reads: "You'd need the patience of a saint to sit through an episode of Saint George, a tired sitcom with bad potty-humor jokes and thin characters."[12] Reception on Metacritic was somewhat better, but still negative, having a score of 31 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
