Historic but dated TV series, worth viewing.
This one-season television series is getting old (about 25 years old) and a bit dated. The comedy writing is much more like the 1970s and 1980s, and has not yet achieved the sophisticated humor and wry irony of "Friends" or "Will and Grace." It definitely falls into the large category of "family comedies" -- meaning the show is based around a family. And since this family is the first Asian-American family featured on American TV, for that reason alone it is historic and worth watching. Margaret Cho was so very young when this series was made, and it is unfortunate that she could not have exerted more creative control over the series. Her commentary provided on some of the episodes is very revealing, and I would highly recommend listening to those commentary tracks. Though the show claims that it is based on the "comedy" and family of Margaret Cho, she claims in the commentary that neither is true. And that is obvious. Her stand-up comedy is so much better than the humor in this show. Still, "All-American Girl" has a place in the history of American sit-coms. It is interesting to see how each actor attempted to develop their characters the best they could -- but even good acting cannot overcome mediocre scripts. I do recommend viewing of this series -- before it becomes hopelessly dated. But one viewing is probably enough, unless you are a student or collector of Asian-American memorabilia. Read full review

Great DVD's
I would say this series was good to excellent. I had heard about it thru one of her stand-up comedies and decided to order it. I was able to buy it from a good seller and I have watched two of the DVD's in the 4 disc set so far and my wife and I really like the episodes. Its made by Disney (Touchstone Pictures) so its actually a family show and it has no bad language at all. Its the only Asian-American sitcom I have every seen. Its a shame the network cut it. It was made back in 1994-1995 but never aired here. Thanks to half.com by ebay I am finally able to see it. So I give this a thumbs-up. Something the whole family can enjoy. One of the funniest parts in my opinion is the Grandma played by Amy Hill she loves to watch TV lol.

Not Bad but Her Stand-Up is Better...
This was the first sitcom to star an all Asian-American cast. It's title character is stand-up comedian Margaret Cho. She plays Margaret Kim in a show about her Korean family living in San Francisco. It was supposed to be based on her life/stand-up routines but apparently ABC warped it into a bunch of cliches and stereotypes. She fought with executives because they initially said she wasn't acting "Asian enough" and later she was being "too Asian." They also made her lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks (which caused her kidneys to collapse). The plot revolves around the "Americanized" Margaret and her traditional mother (Jodi Long). She wants her daughter to marry a nice, successful, Korean guy but Margaret's more into Caucasian bad boys. Also living in the Kim household is Margaret's father (Clyde Kusatsu) who runs the family owned book store, her older brother (B.D. Wong) who's a doctor and mother's favorite, her little brother (J.B. Quon), and her hilarious couch potato grandmother (Amy Hill). Margaret works at a perfume counter in a local mall. Her partners in goofing off are ditzy Ruthie (Maddie Corman) and, in a nearby department, Gloria (Judy Gold). They frequently spend their lunches together in the food court and their evenings in a seedy club drinking and dancing. Overall, the show was pretty good. I'm sure it could have been better if they gave Miss Cho full creative control. It's cheesy at times but refreshing that a television show focuses on a mother-daughter relationship that isn't always so agreeable. Even with guest stars such as Oprah and Quentin Tarantino (Cho's real life ex), it was cancelled after only one season.Read full review

all american girl - margaret cho
i bought it to see how margaret cho performs on sitcom. she is good tho as a stand up comedian. this is a rare sitcom wherein you see asian minorities perform on u.s. television which is non existent nowadays. margaret has been fighting a losing battle to put asians on american television shows. the actors here are good but the writing is rather poor. i laughed more watching a very old sitcom "jack benny show" who has good writers.

Funny and PG Margaret Cho is worth it!
Really good to see this show on DVD. Although Margaret Cho's comedy is cleaned up compared to her live performances it's still enjoyable. The commentary tracks made the set well worth it, just wish there was more commentary. This show would have done better if ABC kept the corporate hands off it. Cho and Amy Tan (Grandma) is what really makes this show!
