Through Oct. 30, George Lopez was the most-watched program in its time slot, drawing LOS ANGELES — ABC sitcom star George Lopez was a guest on Good Morning America last month when he got a friendly reminder about his part in the network's rebuild effort. "Charles Gibson leans toward me during the commercial and says, 'You know, my Christmas bonus is riding on your show,'" Lopez recalled. "As we were ending the interview I said, 'Let me be the first one to wish you Feliz Navidad.'" Merry Christmas, indeed, for the Walt Disney Co. network as George Lopez has demonstrated ratings muscle in the 8:30 p.m. EST Wednesday slot following Damon Wavans' M wife and Kids. 12 million viewers (versus 11 million for runner-up "Ed" on NBC). It's also the leader with the advertiser-favored contingents of teenagers and adults 18 to 49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The series, which had an initial brief run as a midseason replacement last May, "has been a crucial player in our 8 to 9 o'clock success," said Stephanie Leifer, ABC's senior vice president for comedy programming. With the promising start for Lopez's show and other new series including 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter, ABC executives say the network has begun to rebound from last season's dismal 23 percent drop in viewership. The network recently ordered 22 episodes, a full season's worth. "We couldn't be happier with how this has gone thus far, but at the same time recognize there's quite a bit of work left to do," said Lloyd Braun, ABC Entertainment Television Group chairman. Lopez's show is one of those helping build "bone" in the Drawn from stand-up comedian Lopez's life, the show casts him as an assembly line worker newly promoted to manager at an airplane parts plant. On the home front, he and wife Angie (Constance Marie) manage their two children (Luis Armand-Garcia, Masiela Lusha) and joust with George's tough-as-nails mother, Benny (Belita Moreno). schedule, Braun said. Beyond obvious beneficiaries ABC, Disney and Lopez himself, the sitcom has brought satisfaction to a wider circle — especially critics of network TV's diversity in programming. "I guarantee you that there are a lot of people at ABC and the other networks that are pretty astonished viewers are willing to watch George Lopez," said Lisa Navarrete, spokeswoman for the National Council of La Raza in Washington. The networks' belief that programs with predominantly Hispanic casts won't play with non-Hispanic audiences is misguided, Navarrete said.
