The Brothers Garcia is the first of three groundbreaking series to be launched on Nick.
In Brothers Garcia's case, Latinos are in front of and behind the camera (the show is directed by Gibby and Mike Cevallos).
Brothers owes as much to the child- and youth-narrated works of Latina literature that have long been a source of pride -- and a target of criticism ("How come you Latinos are always writing in the juvenile voice?").

 Heraldry
According to the Heraldic and Genealogical Encyclopædia by the brothers García Carraffa, the primitive and pure coat of arms of the Estrada surname was:
Coats of arms were and are granted to individuals, not families; therefore, when a coat of arms is granted to a member of a family, the coat of arms is his, not his brothers, offspring or other relatives.
Legally, the coat of arms of an individual may not be used by his descendants or relatives unless one claims and obtains the title that goes with the coat of arms.

THE BROTHERS GARCIA is a fairly light comedy and doesn't tackle deeply dramatic issues.
Though the functions in the family echo rather traditional roles (Mama Garcia cooking and care giving, Papa Garcia setting and enforcing rules), the mother does have her own business as a beauty salon owner.
