Nickelodeon’s premiere of the original TV movie Mr. Troop Mom (Friday, June 19, 8 p.m. ET/PT) starring George Lopez, was basic cable’s number-one original TV program for the night, drawing 4 million total viewers (P2+). With kids and tweens, the two-hour telecast was number-one on both broadcast and cable on Friday, and placed as cable’s number-one original TV program with adults 18-49.
Mr. Troop Mom — created in partnership with Warner Premiere and George Lopez Presents — stars George Lopez as ace attorney Eddie, who is M.I.A. for most events in his 13-year-old daughter Naomi’s (Daniela Bobadilla) life. When Eddie volunteers for the Spring Action Classic — where Naomi goes up against mean-girl Skylar (Jianna Ballard) — treacherous rope courses, cutthroat canoe soccer and slippery slimeball wars are just the start of his introduction to the great outdoors and into his daughter’s heart.
George Lopez can be seen weekdays at 10 p.m. on Nick at Nite on his self titled show George Lopez, which is the number-one rated series on Nick at Nite.
