Margaret Cho plays a Korean American woman who, despite a College
Degree, can only find work behind a cosmetic counter at the local
mall (cue laugh track).
She also lives at home with her siblings, her more tradition minded
Korean parents and her quirky grandmother (cue laugh track).
The premise of the show is the funny conflicts between Margaret and
her quirky family (cue laugh track).
This show is awful! The writers simply copy from the handbook of
TV cliches, the actors all look like they're having trouble reading
the teleprompters, and Margaret Cho, who is a very funny stand-up
comedian just looks lost.

I agree completely with .0 (but I do like the grandmother, especially
the last bit while they rolled the credits).

Saw the show, it could have potential though this one had a high
instance of cliches. But the grandmother and father were good. Was the
mother one of the women from the movie "Joy Luck Club"?
Some of the titles for the "adult movies" were pretty funny (for those
that didn't see it, the parents run a bookstore and have started to
also carry videos, some of which are "adult" - the mother was making
negative comments about having them in the store and was reading off
titles).
Two titles I remember behind some line feeds incase you don't want to
know them....
In and Out of Africa
Free Your Willy (this is the one the grandmother was watching at the
end of the show.)
don't remember the others now but remember smiling at them too.
