I bought the audio book by Eddie Huang, listened to 5-10 mins of it and will be returning it. Couldn't stand the reading or the content...

Hahahah!!! Really? I just learned today that it's him doing the voice over on the sitcom.

^ he mixed in Chinese words along with the English writing and I found it annoying. Also, perhaps because I went through similar things (probably like most Asian Americans), but I found the story boring after 5-10 mins.

Hmmm actually that makes me want to hear how he mixed in the Chinese.

Don't do it. I thought i would like the book. Turns out I couldn't stand it. Why would I want to read (or listen) about the same things I went through...

Maybe that's why I don't find the show funny. It's not shocking to me. It's like, yeah my parents were cheap too etc.

I've started watching the show and I don't actually think it's that bad. This is probably because I had 0 expectations going in, but I enjoy it enough to continue watching.

It's always good to have low expectations

I went to hang out with a friend and we watched a full episode... It was a bit over-the-top, but still worth a good chuckle (though still horrendously inaccurate with proving how over-the-top cheap you can go to be the favorite child and having the "lesser" one being called a stranger, or getting a "success perm").

True, I'm a child of the '90s and never heard of the "success perm". Plus my parents were cheap but they over exaggerate the frugality = success mentality in the show.

With FOB being the only show representing Asians, I'm thinking of signing up for casting for being a contestant on the Bachelorette. Lol I don't think I have seen many Asians on those shows.

bimmette · 03-04-2015, 12:56 AM

Oh I just recently read an article about the percentage of minorities on that show and how they never last long hahahaha!
