All American Girl is a TV sitcom about a Korean-American family. Margaret Cho stars as a sassy, provocative outgoing girl who clashes with her family's traditional values. I though the show was terribly cheesy, almost a poor-man's version of The Fresh Prince of Belair. Cho's character clashed with he mother in the two episodes we watched, mostly about what boys she was dating. Her mother wanted to tame her personality, and set her up with Korean boys with traditional Korean families. Cho was more interested in dating mechanics and guys in leather jackets. The jokes were really cheesy in this show, and there were a lot of stereotypes. Maybe it was the era this was made but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I though the character of her brother was kind of offensive, they seemed to emasculate him which was unnecessary.
