The CW's New Shows for the 2007-08 Season

The CW's New Shows for the 2007-08 Season: Aliens in America

Premieres: Monday, Oct. 1
Airs: Mondays at 8:30 p.m.

The Pitch: People are strange ... everywhere.

Justin Tolchuck (Dan Byrd) is 16, awkward and would rather keep a low profile at school, so it doesnt help when his mom decides to take in a foreign exchange student. When Raja Musharaff (Adhir Kalyan), a Pakistani Muslim, arrives, he and Justin find common ground in trying to survive high school in America.

What They Got Right: The boys friendship, once it gets underway, is open, easygoing and rather touching -- exemplifying the shows message.

Whats Oh, So Wrong: The depiction of the small Midwestern towns ignorance is a glaring stereotype that seems backward in itself.

Recommended If ...: Any group looks all alike to you.
