The fam’s back!
Cast members from the groundbreaking Asian American sitcom “All-American Girl” came together for a panel at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival on Tuesday, 25 years after the show premiered on ABC.
And we’re just awash with nostalgia.
Phil Yu of the “Angry Asian Man” blog, a pioneer in his own right, moderated the panel discussion, which included the show’s stars Margaret Cho, Amy Hill, Clyde Kusatsu and JB Quon.
Although the series, which centered on a Korean American family, ran for only one season and was criticized for its portrayal of Asian Americans, its very existence was a rarity at the time. It told the story of rebellious teen Margaret Kim, played by Cho, as she navigated her identity and relationship with her traditional Korean family. Two decades would pass before the next Asian American sitcom, ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat,” premiered.
