ABC has decided to pick up the sitcom Fresh Off The Boat as part of it’s 2014-15 midseason replacement lineup. This will be the first in 20 years an Asian American family sitcom is being aired, the first and last one was Margaret Cho’s All American Girl (1994-95). The show is based on the memoir Fresh Off The Boat by restauranteur (owner of Bao Hous in NYC), chef (he often jokingly clarifies that he’s a glorified sandwich maker), food, cultural personality and former lawyer Eddie Huang. ABC has released a trailer giving us a sneak peek of Fresh off The Boat. Playing Eddie’s parents, Mr and Mrs Huang will be Randall Park and Constance Wu. As for the part of young Eddie, he’ll be played by newcomer Hudson Yang. Check the trailer below. FOB on ABC! (“Fresh Off the Boat” is slang term for new Asian immigrants to U.S., in certain context “FOB” can be derogatory, and “ABC” is an abbreviation for American Born Chinese)

    I know that reading books nowadays is so has-been, but if you want to know anything there is to know about Asians immigrants, FOBs, and risky behavior, check out Long Wong Charlie’s new book ALL GOOD DRAGONS HAVE WONTON FOR BREAKFAST. It’s not only funny, it’s sugar free! AND without the ads… $500 for a HD tv, $1000 for a mustache-thin laptop, $30k for a new Japanese import, this $6 is going to help guys get chicks and help the chicks with a way out…
