I'm hopeful that the show -- like the successful Canadian comedy Little Mosque on the Prairie -- will find a humorous way to raise discuss concerns (and stereotypes) about Islam, as well as about the commonality of these boys in facing the awkwardness of high school. And about aliens becoming human -- whether the alienation is that of the boys' adolescent transition, the mother's suburban isolationism, or the sister's interracial dating. That's right...don't assume that the "alien" in the show's title is restricted to the exchange student.
For an insightful preview of the show from a Muslim perspective, read Rizwan Mohammad's "Mad About Aliens in America" at altmuslim.com.

mass murder and videotaped beheadings seem quite effective. i wonder if in their wildest dreams they even envisioned the success enabled by the clueless left evidenced in the number of such as this which have resulted from their barbarism. surreal.
The show sounds interesting... and speaking of surreal -- can anyone decipher what "archer" is trying to say here? Should we be grateful that right-wingnuts (I can gather that much from "clueless left" and "effective" beheadings) are so garbled and inarticulate in their words as well as their ideas?
