I'm half Asian and half White and found show LAME!

I'm all Asian American and started watching this show without any idea of the premise and after some cringing, found that I also guffawed at times. Not many recent shows have done that. I don't mind the stereotypical jokes as they're not mean spirited. I guess that's what tips the show into a 'like,' for me. Being from Hawaii, with a ethnic mixture, friends would rag each other's ethnicity, but it was done as friends. And the casting doesn't bother me, although I wish the sister had better lines. It's strange but I started looking past the color and started seeing the lines as coming from the characters, the hard a**ed mother, the softer father, slacker friends and enjoyed the show more. There are many jokes that fall flat or elicit a groan, but just as many that are zingers for me.

I'm fourth generation but also nearly 60, so my perspective might be different. I also live in Japan with a Japanese wife (no kids, what would they have been?) and I've seen much worse here and back home on TV.

And it's not too often that you see a mixture of people like this that are mostly in the same boat.

I look forward to seeing more of this show.

It's so bad and not funny. I'm not Asian, but I can see how Asians would be offended by this. What offends me is how stupid and not funny it is. What would they do without the canned laughs?
