Aliens in America: What Did You Think?
Most of the critics loved Aliens in America -- now that you've had a chance to see it, what do you think? Funny? Offensive? Cutting-edge? Nothing new? Insulting? Brilliant? We want to know -- share your thoughts in the comments!
We already shared our take from the pilot, and the new version didn't change anything. We still love Raja, we're still in awe of Amy Pietz as Franny, and we're still cautiously optimistic about the show.
The only thing that changed from the pilot was the addition of Scott Patterson as Papa Tolchuck, and we have to admit, we were a little distracted. He's so firmly identified with Luke Danes in our minds that it's weird to see him trying to be a clueless, good-natured Wisconsin dad. We'll get over it, we hope, but it's still giving us a little bit of mental whiplash.
Now it's your turn. Tell us what you think!

this show is good, i love how they've finally put a show on that shows how stupid and ignorant Americans really are! I'm proud of them and people are obviously not paying much attention if they think its an insult to Muslims, open you're eyes and see how stupid they make Americans because well thats the truth

i did not think that the anal sex scene in the high school boy's locker area was the least bit funny at all.

i think that this show is tryin to cut the negative stereotypes people have about muslims but i don't think it is doing a good job. I think instead they are making it worse.

this show was great. reminded me of wonder years, and thats a huge compliment. seeing luke danes was a bit unsettling, so quickly after gilmores was over. still, this show has promise.

You're the one who is wrong Taha. They're not making fun of Muslims. They're making fun of how ignorant Americans treat Muslims. THIS SHOW ROCKED!!!!!!!!!

This show was stupid and very insulting to Muslims. It helps spread ignorant negative stereotypes about Muslims and Pakistinis. I can't believe the CW is helping to spread intolerence.

I can't believe the CW cancelled All of Us for this Alien crap! Changed the channel 10 mins into the program. It was absolutely stupid.
