Fresh Off the Boat Introduction

Fresh Off the Boat Introduction

This podcast is only me talking! There's no Listen and Repeat.

I introduce the TV series "Fresh Off the Boat to you. I tell you about the mom and dad, Louis and Jessica, who immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan. You learn about their three sons, Eddie, Emery, and Evan, who were all born in the U.S. Eddie is the main focus of the show. He's in junior high school, and he loves hip hop and the NBA. The show takes place in the 1990's, so the music is from that time and Eddie's favorite basketball player is Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal).

In the first episode of this sitcom, the family moves from Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida, where Louis is going to open a restaurant, a cowboy-themed steakhouse.

The main conflict in this TV show is seeing how this Taiwanese-American family adapts to living in the U.S. without losing their feeling of being Chinese. This is a similar conflict that many families face when they immigrate to new countries.
