I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I have vague memories of "House of Buggin," but I remember it kept me in stitches throughout the whole show. What I do remember is what I believe was the pilot episode: a skit about a modern day Latino gang rivaling against The Jets from "West Side Story." I about lost my mind when John and the rest of "the Jets" came sneaking up, snapping their fingers and threatening to "rumble" with switch blades... the modern gang had guns.Throughout the years, Fox has had a mean habit of cancelling really promising shows prematurely. I believe this show was one of the few that could have stood the test of time. It was NOT an "In Living Color" ripoff, anymore than "In Living Color" was a rip off of "Saturday Night Live," or "Saturday Night Live" was a rip off of "Laugh In," and etc. But perhaps, America was not ready for John being incapable of saying the word "regularly" and other Latino stereotypes that are now systematically mocked on "Mind of Mencia." Come on, Fox! Dig this one out of your vaults and put it on DVD already!

John Leguizamo is an amazing and under-rated talent. This show was so funny I was laughing out loud. Having now lived in Europe for three years, I am reminded on each visit home, how bland and "cookie cutter" - esque American TV was/is. I think many people were put-off by having a Latino-based show, and House of Buggin' never really got the chance it deserved. Maybe a lot of people didn't "get" the jokes. Although I liked In Living Color, there were many skits that I found too slapstick and childish. (I still don't understand how Jim Carrey got to where his is today.)House of Buggin' was a wonderful showcase for John Leguizamo's talent.

When I first viewed this show I had a bad feeling about it.In Living Color had just gone off the air and this was a complete ripoff.I don't think much of John Leguizamo when it comes to comedy.He's got a little bit more going for himself as a serious actor.

House of Buggin', staring John Leguizamo, was proof of the importance of advertisment. If you weren't living in NY, Miami, or LA most of your life, the show might have been alien to you. Even so, you couldn't help but smile at the spoof of Ricki Lake, featuring a verbal exchange between 'Fidel Castro' and 'Gen. Manuel Noriega.' I often looked forward to "Iggy & Loco's 'Totally True Urban Legends.'"Other hilarious skits bore titles such as WomYn; Vogu-E; a skit where the show's actors enlist in "Big Brothers" who bully the kids they're assigned to, as well as a dramatic re-telling of a 'true' story where Rap music turns an All-American boy into a gun toting, brutal gangsta and a 'vice-versa' story where John Leguizamo's character is kidnapped by Hasidic Jews and converts (during the blindfolded/smell-test, he guessed everything that was put under his nose to be a pork food product--hehehe!). An entertaining slam of everything that has anything to do with inner-city life.I have fond memories of this show, and am saddened by it's short life. Hopefully, reruns will one day grace Comedy Central.
