Re: Aliens In America
I was wondering why they picked an Indian kid to play a Pakistani kid. It makes no freakin' sense :D
Adhir Kalyan who plays Raj is Indian from South Africa.

Re: Aliens In America
NPR apparently gave it a good review.
Salman Ahmed (of Junoon) is one of the people who did the theme song. http://www.cwtv.com/shows/aliens-in-america
It’s on at 8:30 on the CW – I’m looking forward to it.
Re: Aliens In America
It’s called acting. ![]()
Re: Aliens In America
saw 1st episode... it was good
Re: Aliens In America
i enjoyed it
Re: Aliens In America
it is a sad truth but most black and white Americans are somewhat ignorant to south asian culture. They know what Islam is for a couple years now but if you ask them what the difference between Islam and Hinduism is they would be like "what's Hindooisaam?".
if this show is successful, at least it'll bring awareness about other south asian cultures and Pakistan
Re: Aliens In America
missed ti :(
Aliens in America
They aired the pilot tonight. Did anyone see it? Any comments? (please don't move this to the entertainment section - this discussion will have emphasis on what this publicity is going to do for muslims in America, especially Pakistanis).

Could someone please move this to entertainment section
Re: Aliens in America
I saw it; it made me laugh. The character of Pakistani kid borders on over-the-top but doesn't quite reach it.
Re: Aliens in America
I enjoyed the show a lot. This, along with Chuck, are the only shows worth watching this season.
Re: Aliens in America

even some Americans have brains to tell the difference between representing/portraying or making fun of a culture/nation.
and there was more in Washington Post this morning.
So what do you think PCG??? Is it gonna do any better to already downgrading image of Pakistanis or Muslims as a whole???
As for me, I am guessing more explanations to do to the intriguing minds of media-influenced Americans.
Re: Aliens in America
^ they are actually making fun of themselves by showing that most white and black americans do have that ignorance that's why words like "muslimism" are being used. I'm sure most people are just as ignorant in real life....i've come across a few myself
I wish they had used a more common pakistani name for the character...it would've made more sense.
Re: Aliens in America
I hope it doesn't portray Pakis/Muslims as dirty, ugly and stupid browns like most such comedies do.
Can someone upload it on YT?
