Do you think they could get away with calling a Japanese character Ah-Chu in this day and age? On a similar subject, I like Pat Morita, but always thought his character on S&S was kind of boring.

One thing I noticed was at first, he was a Chinese character. Then at some point they made him Japanese. (Pat Morita's true nationality)
I wonder if anyone knows the episode where he started being Japanese instead of Chinese?

he wasn't in that many episodes. How many was he in

He was good in the episode about him and Fred opening a Japanese restaurant and the episode about Fred and the sensitivity group.

that was a good episode.

This was on last night...one of my favorite eps!!

Fred:"Sticks and stone may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."
"You can call me this, you can call me that, but I still say that girl was FAT!" :lol: :lol:

I loved when Fred was in scenes with Ah-chu. I would have preferred to say more of him and less of Esther

Ah-Chew didn't do a damn thing for me except wished he was not on any episodes. I only liked him in episode, "Sanford and Rising Son" If he was able to hold his own, he would have been alright. he wasn't an exciting character. Pat Morita was better in the Karate Kid. LOL

Yes.

Ah Chu was an alright character, although his name was utterly ridiculous.

I dont understand. What does the name Ah-Chu mean? Why is it rediculous or controversial?

The 'chu' part is a play on Asian names which often have 'chu' 'chong' etc. The name Ah Chu sounds like the common description of a person sneezing. Kind of degragatory. I like the sensitivity group episode too, but Ah Chu did nothing to make me like it or dislike it.
