All-American Girl

Storyline

Based on comedian Margaret Cho's stand-up routines, this series looked at the culture clashes that occurred between a traditional Korean mother and her fully-Americanized daughter. Mom just wants Margaret to marry "respectable" men: doctors, lawyers, scientists (always Korean); Margaret is more interested in white bikers, musicians, and any other type that her mother is bound to hate. Through all of this, Dad knows better than to interfere, and just keeps out of the fray.
