Administrator Toups Posted May 10, 2014 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2014 Cristela: Discussion Thread CRISTELA - In her sixth year of law school, Cristela (Cristela Alonzo) is finally on the brink of landing her first big (unpaid) internship at a prestigious law firm. The only problem is that her pursuit of success is more ambitious than her traditional Mexican-American family thinks is appropriate. She’s stuck straddling the old culture she’s trying to modernize at home with her working-class family and the modern world she’s trying to embrace in her professional career. Breakout comedian Cristela Alonzo stars in this hilarious comedy about laughing your way down the path to the new American dream. “Cristela” stars Cristela Alonzo as Cristela, Carlos Ponce as Felix, Terri Hoyos as Natalia, Andrew Leeds as Josh and Sam McMurray as Trent. “Cristela” was written by Cristela Alonzo and Kevin Hench. Executive producers are Kevin Hench, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements and Shawn Levy. “Cristela” is produced by 20th Century Fox Television.

Members wingwalker Posted May 13, 2014 Members Share Posted May 13, 2014 Well it's a multi-cam, so it should pair decently well with Last Man Standing, but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted May 13, 2014 Members Share Posted May 13, 2014 Loving your posts. They actually shot this on the LMS set. But was this really the best to tease with? I only laughed when she kept drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members London Posted May 13, 2014 Members Share Posted May 13, 2014 Extended trailer is wayyyyyy better and a little funnier but I wish shows like this wouldn't rely on racial stereotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted May 14, 2014 Members Share Posted May 14, 2014 Agreed. Too many jokes based on racial stereotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted May 15, 2014 Members Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yeah, all the comedies use the race thing. I love Modern Family, but there too racist. I like it. It gives me Disney vibes. I'll try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 I read that CA is appearing this week on GH as ADA Natalia Rodriguez. I wonder if she gets a GH cameo on her show, as well. Cristela is entertaining in this show. She was also good as a co host on The View. I hope this show sticks around, it's a good TGIF comedy. Just cute enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted February 10, 2015 Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's grown on me. I felt they tried a little too hard at the punchlines early on but it's starting to settle in. I've enjoyed it. Nice little fluff sitcom. Fits decently with Last Man Standing. The demo for the show is bad and loses a couple million from LMS so it's probably a toss up for renewal. I don't see how it's any better or worse than Reba's sitcom. They really should have kept that one, launched Cristela, moved Reba to 9 and launched a show at 9:30 (Henry Winkler was supposed to have a sitcom that never got the light of day). I also have to wonder if Shark Tank on Tuesday's (where it gets similar ratings to Friday) is a test. Tuesday's have been tough for ABC to schedule. SHIELD is sinking. I'm curious to see how Fresh off the Boat does without being cushioned. I liked the show and hope it can be it's own little self-starter like The Golbergs and Last Man Standing were. ABC definitely has a very nice breed of sitcoms. I think they need to cool it though as they will begin to oversaturate themselves. Cristela has been good on the View.

Members Soapsuds Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 Everyone knows its been canceled. Well Cristela was packing her stuff from the set and she twitted it…and got a response from Norman Lear to give him a call. I wonder if he has a show idea for her??

Members slick jones Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'd love to see her do something else. She's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 Weren't Lear and Sony developing a Hispanic All in the Family? I like Cristela. The show was just too basic. It started to come into it's own but in the beginning it was just trying too hard and was too formulaic. I think Dr. Ken and Uncle Buck will also flop on Friday. I think all they care about is getting LMS to syndication. What follows them never lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
