This Debuts on Wednesday on ABC

Synopsis
The story follows the story of Eddie Huang's Taiwanese family as they make their way from Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida to open up a steak restaurant during the mid-to-late 1990s (with the first season being set between 1995 and 1997).[9][10] The mother struggles with culture clash of having to move from D.C. to Orlando,[11] the father embraces the "American Dream", and Eddie and his brothers struggle with assimilating into the school.

I'm an Asian American and will be watching this.

Love the show. I now have 3 network comedies I like, this, Blackish and Last Man Standing. Most I've had in a long time.

I tried watching season one of last man standing and it got old on me fast.

We are currently very much into blackish, this and modern family. We love the middle too but its not quite on the level of those 3.

yeah, I need to add Modern Family to the list. I feel the same way about The Middle, good, but not at the same level.

I didn't find the pilot funny at all. I am debating watching the next.

Two episodes in and I had a minor laugh here and there. Nothing special so far.

Way way to forced doesn't focus on an actual story for laughs it's just look a 90s reference and another one and another one

Really boring

It's OK. Don't love it

I love, love, love Blackish. This could be the Asian version of Blackish but they'll need to push the envelope and find an edgier vibe.

Ive gone lukewarm on blackish and stopped watching it as often as I was. This one I am still watching more often than blackish but it might just be because I dont have many other decent shows that are fun for the whole family.
