Trivia
Based on the life of Asian-American restaurateur, chef, food personality, and former lawyer Eddie Huang. He serves as the show's narrator in the first season.

Goofs
The characters make many references to visiting Jack In the Box, an American fast food chain. Whilst a handful of Jack In The Box outlets were in Florida in the 1970s, they were all closed down by 1980 and didn't return until the 2020s. Jack In The Box is very popular in California, where the show is filmed, and writers made the decision to ignore the anachronism in favor of fulfilling a paid product placement.

Mighty clever and original...and occasionally kinda sweet.

"Fresh Off the Boat" is a show about a Taiwanese-American family who has moved from Washington, DC (where there are lots of Taiwanese- Americans) to Orlando, Florida (where there are none!). While this sounds a bit like "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" or the like, the show still is surprisingly original and worth seeing. There are several things I really appreciate about it: it DOES talk about race and stereotypes (something very rare on TV today) and writing is so good. The characters, as a result, are very likable. Overall, there's very little not to like about this one and I see it as actually being a lot like the wonderful show, "Brooklyn Bridge"--but with a greater emphasis on humor. Well worth seeing--whether you are Asian or not.
