CBS is starting to swing the ax, and they yelled timber to United States of Al.
I think they are making a mistake. Not only is the sitcom funny, but it also has an important message. We were able to learn about Afghan culture through Al’s character.
You see, the show is about Al (Adhir Kalyan), an Afghan who worked as an interpreter for the US troops in Afghanastin. He met Riley (Parker Young), a US Marine stationed there, and he invited Al to come back to America with him.
The season 2 premiere dealt with Al’s family being caught in the collapse of Afghanistan, and Al trying to get his sister out of the country.
Chuck Lorre knows how to create shows that are loyal to their character’s cultures. It is a shame that CBS didn’t stick with it. They better at least stay with B-Positive, or I will be negative.
