This show completely missed the entire point of the original. Not that I mind the changes if they were good. But... They weren't.
The point is that the families have to be completely different culturally yet ultimately the same internally. Which just goes to show that families are families everywhere no matter your background or the color of your skin.
Why on earth didn't they make the family bi-racial? That would have been the closest an american version can get.
Also they seem to have cut out the best parts of the original. On his side of the family, his middle brother is married to a quirky gal but his mother Ricky despises her and constantly tries to shove him back with his ex-wife.
He's also quite a loser and is jobless half the time. Why make him a successful doctor is beyond me.
On her side of the family, her brother is married to a Russian woman (3rd culture in the mix) and her sister is a hideous beast that's constantly man craving and is unemployed and mooching off her parents. She also has a huge thing for his "studly" brother and is constantly after him. Think Mimi from Drew Carrey only younger and waaaaaay more beastly.
Those 2 characters are hilarious in the original.
Why remove them completely is beyond me.
