After acquiring a slew of off-network dramas, Ion is adding a comedy to the mix with a deal for the exclusive broadcast syndication rights to all five seasons of ABC’s George Lopez. The comedy, bought from Warner Bros TV Distribution, will begin airing on Ion on Sept. 29 in three-hour blocks three times a week. While not a runaway hit for ABC, George Lopez has performed very well for its cable home, Nick at Nite.

The only thing that is funny about that show is that anyone wants to buy it.
Sure, that’s why it has been Nick at Nite’s number one show in repeats for the last three years. People must love unfunny shows.
