ABC Sinks Fresh Off The Boat!

ABC pulls the plug on Fresh Off The Boat, the longest running sitcom featuring an Asian-American family.

The long running sitcom based off the celebrity chef/hip-hop clothing designer Eddie Huang's life in Orlando, Florida is coming to an end. Some blame one of the series stars for the show being canceled on ABC.

For six seasons, the sitcom was doing reasonably well. It was one of the longest running sitcoms featuring a family of color.

The show starred comedians Randall Park and Constance Wu.

Hudson Yang plays a fictional version of Eddie Huang. The rest of cast includes Forrest Wheeler, Ian Chen, Lucille Soong, Chelsey Crisp and Ray Rise.

It has surpassed the syndication mark so there will be airing on cable and local television.

Eddie Huang. The show is loosely based on his life growing up in Orlando.

The show was easily renewed for a sixth season earlier this year but there was some confusion when Wu, who played Jessica Huang tweeted that she was upset over the renewal.

The actress later clarified that the renewal would force her to give up another project she was planning on doing in the coming year. After that they said that Wu was reduced on the show.

Wu faced a lot of backlash from her comments. She would apologize soon after.

ABC made the decision to say goodbye to the sitcom. They said that Fresh off The Boat will end with 15 episodes. The series finale will be serving as a two-part episode.

"We couldn't be prouder of this game-changing show and the impact it has had on our cultural landscape," said Karey Burke, the president of ABC Entertainment. "The success of Fresh off the Boat has helped pave the way for inclusion throughout the industry. Nahnatchka Khan and her brilliant creative team have created an unforgettable series with an Asian-American family front and center, something that hadn't been done in two decades."

I am assuming she's talking about Margaret Cho's All-American Girl, a very famous comedy featuring the comedian as a college graduate trying to work her way up to success. Due to ABC's demands to make the show more diverse, it caused the show to be cancelled mid-season.

Huang had very strong issues on the way ABC did the show. He was casted as the narrator in the first season of the show but he decided to reduce his role in the show. He said that creative differences and time constraints kept hm off the show.
