Best new sit com on network tv. Show is hilarious.

About an asian family that moves from DC to Orlando in 1995. Might be best sit com on network tv, not just best new sitcom.

Haven't seen this week's, but I'm onboard. The guy who it's based on is played a really funny kid. Whenever he has his grandma hold the boom box that's playing early 90s rap as he enters a room, that's gold.

My wife and I love this show. A lot of stereotyping of Asian people, but also lots of stereotyping of white people from an Asian perspective.

I guess its inspired by a memoir written by Chef Eddie Huang.

This week's was pretty damn funny. He gets the "talk" from his dad and his mom tries to give sexual harassment training at the restaurant.

I think the two little brothers are awesome as well.

I liked the part this week where he asked the neighbor's hot daughter if he could film her washing a car and he had all the car washing supplies laid out including cherry red high heel shoes.

Btw, am I the only one who thinks the wife is hot? I think if they tried to make her hot she would be a smoke show.

Just read something about her and the show. The actress who plays the mom is only 26 years old. I shit you not.

yea they definitely try to tame her looks and youth on the show as evidenced by this non-show related photo.
