The MLP reference was simply incorrect. This show was set un the mid-90s, at most 13 years or so afterthe 80s generation of the toy. Are we to believe Jessica was young enough to have been a fan?

that's all well and good, but even the guy this show is supposed to be based on says the show is not accurate to his own life…what is your argument there?

Again with the Ching Chong shit. I never said any of this. You are clearly trolling.

so the point is, has the show become basically Modern Family with an Asian cast? I am not saying that it cant be a good comedy at the same time, but this isnt exactly the asian american media presence I hoped to see.

This show is about growing up in the 90s, you know. The internet wasn't exactly a thing back then. I certainly agree that if I was born 20 years later, and moved to America in 2015, I definitely would have been more Americanized culturally, having more access to it beforehand. But this was not the case for me, or…

I have no idea what you mean by all this "ching chong" talk you accuse me of referencing. When did I ever say that my problem with the show was that they spoke english too well? It's the fact that they were culturally too Americanized to be recent immigrants. I was born in Hong Kong, and when we came to America, it…

you must have missed the part where Eddie Huang himself (you know, the guy this show is about), pointed out that the show wasn't accurate to his book and was whitewashed for TV. so, it's not about his own experience either…moron.

ok sure, you clearly hold the belief that a show about an immigrant family doesn't need to actually be ABOUT the immigrant experience. you're so smart and insightful! /sarcasm

What do you think I "believe the Wangs should be"? I myself am from Asia so I think I would know about what it was like to be an Asian-American immigrant. I never said I don't expect them to speak with exaggerated accents. Here are some issues that were important to me and my peers growing up in an immigrant…

The show is called "Fresh off the Boat", not "Totally Americanized Family with residual Taiwanese accents". What issues affecting 1st/2nd generation immigrant families did they actually tackle in this show so far? It's not even about me specifically. I literally know nobody growing up whose experiences were like…

As much as I enjoy this show so far as a sitcom, as a first-gen Asian immigrant I simply cannot buy Fresh Off the Boat as an accurate depiction of what it is like to be an Asian-American growing up in the 90s. I think the main problem is that despite the name, the Wangs are not really recent immigrants, and thus are…

cooper seldon has GOT to be a big bang theory reference

I hope I'm the not the only one who realizes that the exterior shots are not actually hong kong. And those apartments? Way too big for that city.

That's Yukio from the Wolverine as the wife!

I noticed that they lived in a different house in this episode. when did they move?

am I just not seeing the reviews or is AV Club not doing reviews for G & O?

Meredith is quickly becoming my favorite side character. That wink was great!

Dunham actually looked not bad the entire episode. Guess having a corporate job is enough to make even Hannah dress like an adult.
