FTA-TV Fresh off the Boat

[akkaps]

I can't believe a thread for this show has not been created yet.

It's about an Asian that moves from DC to Orlando in 1995, and how they deal with Western culture. Based on the the Comedy of Eddie Huang.

12 episodes in, and probably my favourite so far is the one with the Jewish Chinese kid, and how successful he was compared to Eddie. And the mother reminds me exactly of my grandmother.

The show is coming to Channel 7 soon.

Haha Governor Chung is the dad! I'll have to watch it for that alone.

Seen all that's aired so far (12), and while it's not great, it's not bad for a 20min show. Pretty good cast, good for a few laughs.

Yeah I saw the ad for this show. Keen to check it out.

Watched Pilot.. it was ok but that's where it stopped for me.

Its one of those shows like 'The Middle' or 'The Goldbergs' that will be under appreciated.

 

[Cleavy]

It looks alright on the ads.

 

[Cleavy]

it seems to be quite similar to Everybody Hates Chris in layout

I read the book which was very good.

Watched the first six or seven episodes before losing interest in the series.
