George Lopez is a guy who has made lemonade from lemons at every turn. Since becoming the plant manager at a Los Angeles airplane parts factory, George has handled a complicated and tumultuous job with his sense of humor intact. Although his affable and loyal friend, Ernie, and former compadres on the floor consider him a friend and leader, they continue to rib him and have their fun with his position of power. Dealing with his tough and acerbic but loving mother, Benny while sifting through her vast assortment of lies about his childhood and still maintaining a civil relationship, presents a constant challenge for George, both at work and at home. Fortunately, George's devoted wife, Angie (series star CONSTANCE MARIE), possesses the patience of a saint and copes surprisingly well with Benny's troublesome behavior and wisecracks, along with George's freewheeling approach to parenthood.
