Probably offensive, but that's why it's funny. I saw it last night and I thought it was good. Lacking on the humor except when it counted, like when everyone rose their hand ("I'm angry at Raja cuz his people blew up the buildings in New York"). Kid was Pakistani, it was funny watching this satire on the ignorance of the general American public. Raja and Justin are fun characters, as is the mom (well, sorta). I thought this show was cool. Anyone else? oh, i should give a summary: This guy has a reputation at school as a dweeb and outcast. So his mom thought itd be a good idea to get an exchange student so he can have a friend. But instead of getting the Nordic guy she was dreaming about, they get a Pakistani teenager named Raja. So now the family has to deal with having a Pakistani kid in the house (which they learn to accept), Raja learns to deal with being a practicing Muslim in Midwest America (specifically Wisconsin), and Justin really does have someone he can connect with ( I suddenly realized I wasn't an outcast. Just a weirdo.). I have good thoughts for this show, too bad it clashes with Prison Break

My second favorite new show so far this season (after Reaper). But I haven't yet watched the premiere of Pushing Daisies, which I'll probably like more...
