The Kid with A lot to Say

Hey everybody! I bet your wondering why I titled my post "The Ortegas". Well that title is also the name of a show, starring Cheech Marin. "The Ortegas" is a FOX show. It was set to premier in the Fall of 2003, but was pushed to this summer of 2004. Now the reason for the push is unknown. But now, it looks like it will not come out this summer either. Let me give you a little information on this show.

Live from California's beautiful San Fernando Valley ... it's The Ortegas. Based on the International Emmy-winning and hit BBC series, The Kumars at No. 42, this inventive new series blends comedy, reality and improvisation into one wild, unique mix.
Each week, the family welcomes actual celebrity guests into their home, smothering them with hospitality and homemade traditional Mexican snacks. And once they've step out of the back of the house and into the television studio, the talk show begins. At this point the entire family showers their guests who have not been prepped for the talk show portion of the show with spontaneous and wide-ranging interview topics leaving the live audience wondering what could possibly be next. Look out Dave and Jay – Luis Ortega is on his way.
As if Luis (Al Madrigal), Henry (Cheech Marin, "Nash Bridges"), Esmeralda (Terry Hoyos) and Maria (Renee Victor) are not enough, The Ortegas will introduce their friends, family, and neighbors who inhabit this crazy world called Van Nuys. They are all as colorful and entertaining as the Ortegas themselves.

Now, what I want to know is, why is not going to come out this summer? Maybe it is not going to come out , because Chong isn't in it?
