While the show is certainly weak script-wise, I find the mere fact that a foreign culture is so featured in a primetime network show to be a great benefit. The show is such a missed opportunity to my mind to educate about Indian culture and pop-culture. I would have preferred that the American was educated and had to change his perceptions rather than what seems to be occurring on the show which is the illustration of the general silliness of American low-brow culture coupled with the supremacy of American values and customs.
