House Of Buggin' - The John Leguizamo Piñata Sanctuary

[chipdrusano]

I remember this!!!

[solri89]

Out of all the skits on all the different comedy shows this one is my all time favorite. I was in the Army deployed somewhere when this show came out and my wife recorded every episode for me but the poor piñatas skit will always be my favorite!

[whitedog999]

I remember when this first aired. I think this was the closing skit of the episode. I was too young to really get it. I remember hating this particular skit. This being one of the skit I remember many years later. But watching it just now, I see how funny it is.

The show *was* a bit repetitive. The producers of FOX went to John with ideas to "improve" the show. 1 way was by changing his Latino cast. John, naturally, wasn't having that. So, the producers never signed for a 2nd season.

I shutter to think what they had in mind that would've "improved" the show. I mean, they compared it to 'In Living Color" -which was Black humor. 'HoB' was Latin humor. There's a difference.

[whitedog999]

@CoHScrapper according to his current autobiographical stand-up show 'Ghetto Klown' the show was redone and turned into MadTV.

[EuroHEV]

According to Leguizamo, they fired everyone from the cast, including him, and repackaged the show as Mad TV.

Never even heard of this show before, but it seems funny.

Wow! Brings back the memories of the '90's. Back when the future didn't seems so far away!

[narutowhatsup]

im not hispanic..but i heLLa loved this show...it has given me the sense of humour that i have now..i love john...and the minute men...love that shit....

[DarthCormac]

Damnit, in 1994 there was nothing else on TV that was so Hispanic-oriented. At the time, I was 11 years old, Hispanic, and growing up in an all-white area. House of Buggin' FINALLY gave me something I could relate to, and I was happy!

I watched EVERY episode, and was PISSED when they cancelled it. And contrary to what some have said, I did NOT find this show stereotypical or racist at all.

I would buy the entire series on DVD in a heartbeat.

I was a Living Color fan when this show came out, and I thought it was like a Latino version of Living Color, which I thought was cool---plus I thought John Leguizamo was a real cutie at the time. I wondered why the show didn't last but a few episodes---it was a refreshing change to see a Latino comedy show for once. I still like JL as an actor though, and he seems to have barely aged since then---I always thought he should have had the leading role in George Romero's LOTD.
