Aliens In America

Have any of you guys heard of this new show that’s coming out? It’s about this misfit kid that ends up having a foreign exchange student from Pakistan live with him. The show seems very stereotypical (not just of the Pakistani kid, but also the American teen), but it caught my attention.

And since when is a Pakistani kid named Raj? :rolleyes:

I have seen previews, but it’s not on my list of fall shows to watch.

Re: Aliens In America

Re: Aliens In America

I watched is online the other day... it's pathetic!.... why do they have to make a Pakistani guy sound like a south-indian?!! the name btw is Raja...not Raj....

Re: Aliens In America

I was wondering why they picked an Indian kid to play a Pakistani kid. It makes no freakin' sense :D

Re: Aliens In America

I don't think it matters if they picked a hindu kid or Muslim kid...

Re: Aliens In America

Yea, but Raj is so not a typical Pakistani name. And I also don't like how they have him wear a shalwaar kameez...I mean most of the guys that come from Pakistan wear jeans to begin with...=\

I think it'll be flop.

I like the preview, I think it is a great attempt.

Re: Aliens In America

I think they picked Pakistan only because its a relatively obscure country that everyones heard of but no one really knows anything about...
Sorta the way Borat picked Kahzkstan...

Re: Aliens In America

cant wait to watch it

Re: Aliens In America

The way I see it...this is CW....audience is kids from age 7-17. These kids are unlikely to locate U.S on map let alone know Pakistan...so to have a positive character of Pakistani decent is great.

Re: Aliens In America

based on the previews.. i'd totally buy it if i were a Jr high/high school ABCD (which I was)...:D
