It's no surprise that it got canceled because it had a limited premise both with the focus on Islam as well as how the Pakistani boy gets to see another country with a whole other meaning.He and The Christian family that he stays with get to learn each others different ethnic back grounds and share them but this is still one very good example of how even this premise is very limited and of which is why it to no surprise had gotten canceled when it had and within a short span of time too.Among the other examples of shows with limited premises because of there being 2 different ethnic backgrounds are as follows: Mr.T.and Tina;Bridget loves Bernie;Chicken Soup;and Brooklyn Bridge.Truthfully,Stephen "Steve" G.

Pakistani exchange student Raja (Adhir Kalyan) moves in with a Wisconsin family (Amy Pietz, Scott Patterson, Lindsey Shaw, Dan Byrd). This provides for some great comedic possibilities. However that well starts to run dry and they didn't make the transition to a traditional sitcom nicely. It's not surprising that it didn't make it pass its first season.I like everybody. Maybe the problem was that they couldn't mix the seriousness of being Muslim in America with the cuteness of the traditional family sitcom. Maybe America was just not ready for a Muslim lead. Maybe the writing could be better.

And that's along with the cancellation is very sad. If I begin to use words to describe this diamond among the rough it will be forever. One thing i didn't read around here is that I believe 50% of the series are those priceless facial expressions of Justin: unbearable to watch it without being torn apart out of laughing! Also if anyone has the chance to watch the french version they will be going nuts with the deep guttural voice they give to Paul, hilarious. And the episodes is full of epic moments: i.e. Paul chasing Raja chasing Justin chasing Claire all of them ignoring each other followers, and epic lines: "If that's true it was a lucky guess..." - and the appropriate face- priceless!

2007/2008 will be remembered for very boring new shows; "Aliens In America" was probably the only glimpse of hope in a very dry year.Comparing this wonderful show to the ongoing "Little Mosque In The Prairie" would be a mistake. "Little.." is a rather bland, predictable comedy, very much in the 80's style."Aliens.." however had it all: Topical issues, sharp humour, superb writing, dream cast and high production levels. and above all it was the funniest show on television. It is a must see.It is regrettable and sad that CW has chosen to end the one show that really brought home a devoted and cheerful audience. Shame on them!
