I was just in the 90's sitcom section and was surprised there was no section for All American Girl (Margret Cho's sitcom). I love that show! Anyone else remember it?

But being that it was only on for a season and the fact that it's not really remembered well outside of Margaret's fan base, there's no real reason for it to have a board. It wouldn't be very active.

I thought it was pretty good and the grandmother on the show was pretty funny. catlover79 07-05-2010, 08:09 PM I truly enjoyed the show myself. It is available on DVD, with Margaret Cho and Amy Hill (Grandma) doing commentary on some of the episodes. megamanj2004 07-06-2010, 12:41 AM I def. remember that show.

Here is a DVD review that has some more info as far as extras go: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/allamericangirl.php catlover79 07-06-2010, 09:33 AM Here's a pic of the DVD box set. Hard to believe that SVU's Dr. Huang (BD Wong) was in this show - and singing an awkward (yet hilarious) version of "Yankee Doodle Dandy". :rofl: TMC 01-03-2023, 03:17 AM 1elwhRDFixc Hosted by Rachel Cox and Valerie Temple, Sliders and Wings is a podcast about the TV shows Sliders, Wings, and all the other forgotten TV shows of the 90s. On this episode, Val and Rachel and Special Guest Bennett Madison discuss the pilot episode of All-American Girl (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125335/http://www.jumptheshark.com/a/allamericangirl.htm), a 1994 American sitcom starring Margaret Cho. The series aired on ABC from September 14, 1994, to March 15, 1995. Cho starred as Margaret Kim, the rebellious daughter of Korean American bookstore owners in San Francisco, whose American attitude often comes into conflict with her more traditional parents (Jodi Long and Clyde Kusatsu). Among her co-stars were BD Wong as Cho's brother, and Amy Hill as her eccentric grandmother. The series is notable for being both groundbreaking and infamous. The series was the first prime time sitcom to feature an Asian American family as its focus; however, it received criticism for its stereotypical characters. ABC's attempts to reform the show resulted in the show having a lack of direction and led viewers away from the series. After the first season, ABC wished to revamp All-American Girl into an ensemble series, but these plans were unrealized. Hot topics include: 1.) Don't put away wet dishes! 2.) What do Judy Gold, Quentin Tarantino, and Jack Black have in common? 3.) Failures and controversies surrounding the show 4.) Grandma is the Urkel of this show 5.)
