As the resident "America's Next Top Model" expert here at Hyphen, I was watching the CW last night and saw a commercial for "Aliens in America."
The show is about a socially-awkward teenage boy in Wisconsin trying to survive high school. To help improve her son's popularity, the mom decides to get an exchange student. But the exchange student turns out to be not who they expect: a Muslim teenager from a small village in Pakistan. Hilarity ensues.
The commercial seemed OK, but as with any portrayals of Asians on TV, I am always a little afraid at first. I haven't seen the show yet, so I can't say whether my fears are justified. Has anyone seen it yet? Does anyone know anything about Adhir Kalyan, the actor playing exchange student Raja Musharaff?
Here's Sepia Mutiny's thoughts on the first episode.
