Aliens in America
Look who just joined the Tolchuk family.
Created by David Guarascio, Moses Port
On The CW
A warm, earnest family sitcom that uses cultural collision and outsider perspectives to explore prejudice and belonging in small-town America.
Justin Tolchuk is a sensitive, lanky 16-year-old just trying to make it through the social nightmare of high school in Medora, Wisconsin. When his well-meaning mom Franny signs up for the school's international exchange student program, she pictures an athletic, brilliant Nordic teen who will bestow instant coolness on her outsider son. However, when the Tolchuk's exchange student arrives, he turns out to be Raja Musharaff, a 16-year-old Pakistani Muslim. It's going to be a very interesting year for Raja, Justin, his family and the entire population of Medora.
