Yeah, but she's the female lead. Lead characters aren't supposed to tell racist jokes. Of course, this is the "Two and a half Men" network, so I may not have much of a leg to stand on with this one.
I do find it funny that this show got pilloried, but the Chuck Lorre panel and the new Rob Schneider, "I married a Mexican!" show got out unscathed.
!Rob! got reviewed. Not looking good.

Although it's nice to see Eugenio Derbez got a favorable mention. It'll be interesting seeing him do a sitcom, he's pretty big in Mexico.
