All About Me (2002–2004)
3/10
2 stars simply for the direction of representation, and 1 for the casting
7 February 2023
It seems to me that for a lot of people writing reviews on this show on here are upset about the representation of Asian and people , and those with disabilities representation rather then the apparent poorly written , and executed script.

I commend the show for such representation , however I feel that the subpar comedic punchlines, the emphasis on race at every point in turn , and the overall poorly written storylines that stem away from the characters personalities made this show somewhat painful to watch .

Do more diverse shows need to exist ? Yes absolutely; especially as you will see from the below reviews, views about political correctness seemed to be more geared towards the fact that they did this . However I think the way to go about this for such shows , is represent a formula consisting of about 60 to 70 percent familiarity with white and able bodied audiences, and 30 and 40 percent representation of cultural practices and behaviours specific to such minorities .In other words, rather then have such shows represent showcase something 'exotic' and alien to the majority, being the main point of interest , use it as a subplot.
