296.0. "All American Girl" by CRISTA::MAYNARD (The Front Row Kid) Sat Sep 17 1994 04:17

    
    
    Margaret Cho plays a Korean American woman who, despite a College
    Degree, can only find work behind a cosmetic counter at the local
    mall (cue laugh track).
    She also lives at home with her siblings, her more tradition minded
    Korean parents and her quirky grandmother (cue laugh track).
    The premise of the show is the funny conflicts between Margaret and
    her quirky family (cue laugh track).
    This show is awful! The writers simply copy from the handbook of
    TV cliches, the actors all look like they're having trouble reading
    the teleprompters, and Margaret Cho, who is a very funny stand-up
    comedian just looks lost.

    I agree completely with .0 (but I do like the grandmother, especially
    the last bit while they rolled the credits).

296.2could have potentialGRANMA::JBOBBJanet Bobb dtn:339-5755Tue Sep 20 1994 05:5348
    Saw the show, it could have potential though this one had a high
    instance of cliches. But the grandmother and father were good. Was the
    mother one of the women from the movie "Joy Luck Club"? 
    
    Some of the titles for the "adult movies" were pretty funny  (for those
    that didn't see it, the parents run a bookstore and have started to
    also carry videos, some of which are "adult" - the mother was making
    negative comments about having them in the store and was reading off
    titles).  
    
    Two titles I remember behind some line feeds incase you don't want to
    know them....
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    In and Out of Africa
    Free Your Willy  (this is the one the grandmother was watching at the
    		      end of the show.)
    
    don't remember the others now but remember smiling at them too.
