New episode tonight guys, don't worry
They've been promoting a new ep trailer on ABC the whole week.
Also, idk if this is coincidence or not, but watching FOTB in LA, ABC always shows the Asian influenced commercials leading up to FOTB (IE: the commercial for Rose Hills, essentially a cemetary where all Chinese people go, and that Chrysler commercial where the narrator is speaking Japanese I think) anyone else notice this? lol

She's one of those chicks that is so hot you don't even know why because she's also basic.

I posted this before but this is Eddie Huang's real mom which Constance Wu plays. The accent might be over the top but it's on par with Eddie's mom.
I still don't get it honestly but I did see these photos on her Twitter and she looks good here.

dope that its the first asian american sitcom in 20 yrs but to be honest, the show is weak. they try too hard to be funny, and the actors are terrible excluding the parents. plus i heard the show isnt that accurate to eddie's life as it had to be 'white people friendly' being on a major network and all.
on another note, when does Eddie's vice series "Fresh off the boat" or Huang's World, come back? i've been waiting on that forever..

People really claiming the show ain't funny?
Complaining about the accents?
This show has been solid since episode one.
The two little brothers are both mad funny. Patents are both good as well.
If anything the worst actor on the show is Eddie but I'm ok with that.

As I assumed, his dad is an OG.
You can definitely see how he raised Eddie. In my culture (Asian as well), the oldest son is considered the future leader of the family.

Of course a network sitcom is going to be adapted for the broader viewing audience, Eddie's fight with that is well documented but he still cosigned the show. If you wanted to actually capture the grittiness of Eddie that we see on Huang's World and his book, the show would have to be stuck on VICE or HBO. But that's what his book and his web series on Vice is for. Fresh Off The Boat is doing what it needs to do, bring in enough nostalgia for the first generation Asian American immigrants while keeping it relatable for enough people to view every week, and it's working. Ratings are good, you have people talking about it, and Asian American actors are finally getting constant exposure(in a not Martial Arts/subordinate,minor role).
Evan and Emory steal the show some episodes, Constance and Randall are solid week in and week out, and let's be honest, we're expecting Eddie(Hudson Yang) to be like the Eddie we actually know, so don't you think he'd come off a bit corny acting like that as a child? I know I was like that when I was younger, I probably looked like the corniest kid ever mouthing NaS lyrics when I was putting up shots in the gym thinking I was doing it, but that's how it was.
All I know is, in my 23 years of existence, my parents have never been excited about TV shows. Now every Tuesday, my brother, his family, and I come over to my parents house to watch FOTB and have dinner and relive pretty much what we went through being the only Asian family in a white community. For me, it became a family experience, and every episode so far has had such a nostalgic effect on top of it being actually funny. I'll admit it started off rough, but I think they're hitting their stride and it has staying power.
Just my $.02

props for you being able to relate to the show and have family gatherings over it, but that just makes your opinion more biased. the show REALLY isn't that great and don't be surprised if this show doesn't last but a few seasons before it gets cancelled. dont get me wrong, i'm all for asian american culture finally getting some exposure in the entertatinment industry and hope this show will succeed but this show is average at best as far as primetime television goes. thats just my opinion and critique hate it or love it

I have no investment in the show. I know people will hate it, I know people will love it
And by no means was I taking shots, more just a response and refute to the latter part of your statement(about it being white people friendly) and the other people for friendly conversation. I can see where the show has it's flaws, I'm not immune to bad TV and the show does that at times, but I think the good things the show is doing definitely out weigh the bad.
Of course I'm biased, but the same could be said for anyone that has followed Eddie from the beginning and expected...well Eddie.. Alot of people probably expected that same attitude, swagger and charisma we all came to love with Eddie Huang related things and this show falls way short of that, but again I don't think that's what this show was meant for. This is, more or less, Eddie's crown stamp on him being an entrepreneur and showing that there's more to being Asian than the stereotypes.
Also, I'd like to know when the webseries is coming back, his IG has been filled with pictures from his shoots so I feel like they're still filming the season, but it looks insane
