Why Chico and the Man might be annoying:

    Freddie Prinze killed himself just hours after shooting one of the last episodes of the third season. The show continued without him.
    Freddie Prinze would often utter the lame catch phrases, 'Loo-king good!' and 'ees not my job.'
    Many Mexican-Americans thought that the show used too many ethnic jokes.

Why Chico and the Man might not be annoying:

    During its first couple of seasons, it was one of the most popular shows on television, even beating 'All in the Family' in the ratings at times.
    Jack Albertson and Freddie Prinze had great chemistry together, which many believe is what made the show so popular.
    Many celebrities made guest appearances on the show, like Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and George Takei.

    Although it was on for only 3-and-a-half years, it is remembered as a television classic.
