A New Desi Comedy?!!!

CBS has put up pilot episodes of a new comedy from the writers of Borat and the Da Ali G show:
The Papdits.

It's a show about a Kashmiri family immigrating to the U.S and finding a place to call home as they travel around in their RV. There's a camera crew following them to see how they go about realizing their American dreams.

I just watched the pilot episodes online and some of it's funny. It reminds of Arrested Development in the way it comes off as a reality show and how it portrays expressions of the outside actors, aka, the Papdits' interactions with the Americans.

Plus it's got Nitin Ganatra (of Bride and Prejudice fame(That guy with the speedo. Yeah. Him.) among other shows and movies) who's got great comedic and acting ability. In fact, he was the only redeeming quality of that awful, awful movie. (If you haven't seen it, DON'T!!) Additionally, Madhur Jaffrey plays the "widow" in the show.
