GEORGE LOPEZ: HAPPY BIRTHDAYS (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series, set in Los Angeles, in which comedian George Lopez plays family man "George Lopez." In this episode, George tells his family to ignore his birthday, as usual, though Angie is taken aback when Max echoes his father's sentiments about his own upcoming tenth birthday. At work, George instructs his employees, including a brown-nosing Ernie, not to make a fuss, and when the notoriously clumsy "Accident Amy" returns to the plant after yet another injury, he tries to persuade her to work in the safety of the office, not wanting to break the factory's streak of accident-free days. George then finds that Angie has spent a small fortune on party supplies and assumes that she is planning a big blowout for Max, though when he calls her out on her actions and accuses her of spoiling their son, she angrily reveals that she was actually planning a surprise party for him, feeling that he is "screwed up" about birthdays thanks to Benny's apathy during his childhood.
Learning that Benny is spreading exaggerated rumors about his fight with Angie at work, George confronts her about her disinterest in birthdays and soon realizes that her point of view is indeed harmful to children. He decides to help Max enjoy his day after all, and he is relieved when Amy narrowly avoids catastrophe long enough to set a new factory record. George and Angie surprise Max with a fun party at home, though George enjoys himself most of all, thanks to the arrival of a special guest: his favorite childhood TV character, H.R. Pufnstuf. Includes commercials.
