About 1.3 million viewers watch the popular weekly sitcom -- kind of a Cuban-American "All In The Family." Proud and opinionated Cuban-American Manny Beltran has bought himself and his family a piece of the American dream -- a duplex in the Los Angeles suburb of Burbank, California. In addition to owning a successful bodega, Manny unwittingly becomes landlord to a gay male couple.
