Fresh Off The Boat
Watch Tuesdays at 8|7c on ABC!
FRESH OFF THE BOAT is the first American television situation comedy starring an Asian-American family as protagonists since Margaret Cho's All American Girl, which aired for one season in 1994
Based on chef Eddie Huang's best-selling memoir of the same name, "Fresh Off the Boat" takes a humorous look at the lives of immigrants in America. In the 1990s, Eddie, a hip-hop-loving 11-year-old, relocates with his parents and two brothers to suburban Orlando from the Chinatown section of Washington, D.C. As Eddie's dad, Louis, pursues the American dream by opening a western-themed restaurant named Cattleman's Ranch Steakhouse, Eddie and the rest of the family try to acclimate to their new, strange surroundings.
