    This show bit off more than they can chew. I'm so sick of that same old cliches and stereotypes.
    There are aliens! They are so-oo weird and lame, ha-ha!

    I honestly have no idea what everyone is seeing in this show. The first two episodes were uncomfortably unfunny. The show has no flow whatsoever and its way too early for a nostalgic series about the nineties. This is an awful combination of the Goldbergs and Blackish that just doesn't work on any level. I hope that the critics that have reviewed this series have seen content thatI honestly have no idea what everyone is seeing in this show. The first two episodes were uncomfortably unfunny.

    This is the same sitcom, with a different ethnicity. I can find examples of the same ol' same ol' anywhere in the history of sitcoms. ABC must have whole warehouses dedicated to the worn out comedy they've thrown at us since the 70's. Fail!!!

    Why Dave Chappelle did you have to have artistic integrity and not be another materialistic pig. A sitcom based around an emigrant family, well there's a first time for everything. Curb your enthusiasm funny, Fresh off the boat not funny.

    Somehow it still manages to find strangeness within its sentimentality. Fresh Off the Boat is unlikely to dismantle the master’s house. But it opens a door.

    It’s a relief to find that Fresh Off the Boat is not only genuinely funny and surprisingly broad but also a little bit subversive.

    Fresh off the Boat has soul, flavor and an incredible cast. Time will tell if the comedy finds the audience it richly deserves.
