This family sitcom takes place in the 1990s and follows the story of Eddie Huang’s Taiwanese family as they make their way from Chinatown in Washington, DC to Orlando, Florida. They open up a steak restaurant and experience serious culture shock while pursuing the American Dream.
Young Eddie’s parents are Louis (Randall Park) and Jessica Huang (Constance Wu). Louis loves everything America and moves his family to open Cattleman’s Ranch Steakhouse. Unlike Jessica, he believes in the good of people. Jessica is a strong, protective mother who’s also a frugal, business-minded woman who doesn’t believe in wasting anything.
Eddie Huang (Hudson Yang) is the family’s eldest son loves hip-hop and often feels like the black sheep. He’s not thrilled about the move and wants desperately to belong. He always has a plan to get his situation to change, usually inspired by his favorite rappers.
Emery (Forrest Wheeler) is the middle son who adapts very well to the move and becomes popular very quickly. Optimistic and easy-going, he gets a girlfriend on the first day of school. Youngest son Evan (Ian Chen) is a mama’s boy who follows rules, is lactose intolerant, and is often sent by his mother to be a representative at neighborhood meetings — to get the inside scoop.

What do you think? Do you like the Fresh Off the Boat TV show? Would you have watched if it had been renewed for a seventh season?
Horrible show – cancel it immediately!
RENEW!!!! LOVE THIS SHOW!!
Love the show, retro and one of a kind.
Not stereotyped Chinese-Americans with thick accents and A student kids.
Typical Americans with Asian slant.
This was one of my favorite shows on Hulu!! And I’m not Asian-American! I wish it would be renewed. All the actors were superb; loved it!
I love this show!!! Please don’t cancel!! It is funny!! Sure, characters are stereotypical, but all shows have those types of characters! People need to quit being so sensitive. This show makes me laugh!!! Outloud
I love this show!! Use it has stereotypical characters, but what show’s don’t?! It’s funny! I think Asian people would love it. We all need to laugh at ourselves and being so sensitive. Comedy is making fun of situations, difficult times, and people! Please don’t cancel this funny show!!!!
I dunno why, but for some reason I think Constance will somehow sabotage the show resulting in it’s cancellation. She seems to be rather neurotic in real life, just read her social media comments, you will know what I mean.
Renew. =)
It sucks.
RENEW RENEW RENEW! We love this show. It’s hilarious and I’m in love with Constance Wu.
The show is funny, it should be renewed.
I think it should be renewed. Its gotten funnier as the season has gone on. You have to get to know the characters. The mom is hilarious.
My mother and I were appalled at how horribly racist this show is. The actors were decent,
but the writers obviously have a very angry objective. If a white person did a similar show,
say a white family in an all non caucasian town, and tried a like dialogue for the characters,
there would probably be riots. Please, enough of this ridiculous, mean stereotyping of all people, whitey included!
I am offended as a white person and I think it is a bad reflection on Asian people. Let’s just create some more diversity in our world. Good Grief! Do not like this program and will not watch again. It is not funny, stupid is more the word. So simple for simple minds, who would like this??????????? What has our world come to? There is comedy and then there is this. What is this?
I love fresh off the boat!!! I’d say 1comedy!!
