    Sameer Asad Gardezi and his writing partners have created something very different in Aliens in America--and something very, very funny.

    It's very appealing. Aliens in America pulls off its absurd, touchy situation by handling everything with a relaxed tone and excellent film work.

    All is fine, if not as good as it had been.

    I'm a little surprised at the metascore of 77; I had no idea religious and racial intolerance were considered to be funny. I was ashamed of the family's instant dislike towards Raja, not to mention the students' ignorance and cruelty. Sure, the family's attitude towards Raja changes, but I think the intolerance thing will be prevalent in subsequent episodes, just from different sources. And like I said, it's not something that I find humorous. This show makes me ashamed to be American. I'm not giving this show lower than a five because all the actors did very fine jobs, and the actress playing the mother is just gorgeous! But I'm very disappointed regarding the conceit of the show.… Expand

    I'm suprise at the score as well. The show wasn't very funny at all, and most of the comedy was geared towards an ignorant white family being racist. It was pretty hilarious how every single joke dealt with race or the sister's big rack. From the father making the Indian boy clean his house like a slave, to the mom wanting to kick him out of the house, and then...to top it off...at the end they throw in a black guy to make fun of as well. All around a pretty bad show.… Expand
