With its premiere on February 4, 2015,[34] Fresh Off the Boat became the first U.S. television sitcom starring an Asian American family to air on network primetime since Margaret Cho's All-American Girl, which aired for one season in 1994.[35][36][37] Khan stated that even though she herself was not Chinese, she was not worried about inauthenticity because she was \"focused on character and comedy and story\".[30] Regarding balancing the representation of the Asian American experience versus the specificity of the characterization of the Huang family, Wu stated: \"Specificity is what makes good storytelling, and good storytelling is what makes money, and making money is then what encourages new producers to invest in different stories about Asians.\"[20] In a 2015 interview, Wu further stated that after the first season, she had become more comfortable asking the show's staff to change particular details, for example changing \"generic Asian food [in a scene] ... to a 1,000-year-old black egg with tofu and scallions, [which] will be a little more specific, and specificity is just better for character, and it's more interesting than, say, tofu and rice.\"[38] The series also regularly features dialogues in Mandarin.[39][40]
On November 8, 2014, the premiere of the pilot episode was hosted by the San Diego Asian Film Festival.[66] The show debuted on ABC with two preview episodes on February 4, 2015. The second episode, which aired after Modern Family, was promoted as a bonus episode, and formally premiered in its primetime slot on February 10, 2015.[67] The first of the two preview episodes garnered 7.94 million viewers, becoming the second-highest rated comedy premiere that season.[1][68]
Throughout the first season, Eddie Huang expressed frustration over ABC's treatment of the series, saying that it presents \"an ambiguous, cornstarch story about Asian-Americans\" that perpetuates \"an artificial representation of Asian American lives,\" opining that the sitcom was adapted to suit a broader American audience.[105][106] He also tweeted in April 2015, \"I understand this is a comedy but the great comics speak from pain: Pryor, Rock, Louis...This show had that opportunity but it fails.\"[107] Despite this, Huang deems the series a milestone for Asian American representation. He further explained in an interview on National Public Radio, \"The studio and network are not on a mission to not represent us. They just don't know how to.\"[108] In a 2016 interview with Constance Wu, regarding whether he watched the series, Huang stated: \"I don't watch it, but I'm proud of what it does.\"[109]
Much like the The Wonder Years (1988) the show takes place 20 years before the episode aired. The Wonder Years (1988) began in 1988 and depicted life in 1968 and on while Fresh Off the Boat (2015) began in 2015 depicting life in 1995. 59ce067264
