Yesterday night while I was flipping through channels, I happened to watch one of the episodes of Aliens In America. Though, I had never seen the series before, I thought of giving it a look and trust me it was not a bad idea. After watching this episode, which I liked quite to an extent, I decided to download rest of the episodes of the series, from this site and I hope to watch them, one by one. The series with this Indian guy, named Raja in the series, is quite funny, where this group of young boys in order to enjoy their teenage find themselves in trouble and they all end up helping each other. Actually, Raja in the series is shown quite a jerk and innocent in front of these American boys and it is he who is one of the major causes of the problem to his friends. At least, it was like this in the episode, I saw last night.

The name of the episode was ‘Rocket Club’. In this, episode the boys had created a fictional rocket club, in order to spend some time with each other and stay away from home. One night after returning from this so called Rocket Club, Raja told Justin’s parents how great their meeting was, which, of course was a lie. After they heard the great invented story they insisted on having a look at their rocket. In the meantime, Justin was caught by the Police, while watching porn at Raja’s computer. In the end, the boys were shown with the rocket that they had prepared as a result of their lie about Rocket Club. The boys were shown lighting the rocket, which went high up in the air and ultimately hit a girl in the ground. All of them run for their lives, except for Raja who didn’t know how to react and was shown standing there, with a blank expression on face.

With that end, I was very happy that I happened to get a glimpse of the series and will definitely watch all the episodes of the series. But the sad news for me is that the series has already been called cancelled, after its first season.

A number of series have got cancelled, these days, for no specific reasons. Another one in the list is ‘Aliens in America’. Well, I think that ‘Aliens in America’ was one of the sharpest and smartest sitcom on television. But, it never got the audience that it deserved. And, that is the reason behind the cancellation of the series. Now, that the series has got cancelled, the stars of the show are definitely looking for new projects.

Adhir Kalyan, who played the role of Raja in ‘Aliens in America’, has also taken up another role. In the underappreciated comedy, Adhir, played the role of an exchange student from Pakistan. Adhir has now signed up for a recurring role on Nip/Tuck. Kalyan will play the role of an awkward teenage medical prodigy who helps out at the plastic-surgery clinic.

Now, that the series are getting cancelled after single season each, obviously the stars of the series will have to hunt for new work. Well, Adhir, we liked your role in ‘Aliens in America’ and we would love to watch you in ‘Nip/Tuck’, a role that is quite different from the previous one. In fact, we would love to watch you in anything that you do. We just hope that you keep entertaining us with good acting. Here’s wishing you Good Luck for your new job. And, we are waiting to watch you in your new role.

What to do, when your favorite series has been cancelled? Simply, just sit and watch the previous episodes. Don’t know about you, but I’m doing the very same these days! Today I watched season 1 finale ‘Raja at Sixteen’, definitely it was a fantastic episode. It was aired on May 18, 2008 and from that day till today; I’ve watched it for several times. Here’s my review of this episode-

Sadika Sadaqatmal, a Muslim girl was seen on this episode and Justin discovers that Raja is obsessed with her. Franny comes to know about Raja’s interest in a Muslim gal and gets excited. In her excitement, she plans a very big date for Raja and Sadika which also includes every member of Tolchuck and Sadaqatmal families. Justin receives teasing comments from his parents, Gary and Franny, who say that Raja has begun dating when Justin doesn’t even have a girlfriend yet! This makes Justin to ask a neurotic girl, Donna out. On the other hand, Claire dates a German Exchange student who’s in Sadaqatmals’ apartment.

It is an end of season as well as of series. However, no cliffhangers are left unsolved but it doesn’t mean Cancellation. I’m not sure why they have put it to an end when we all are looking forward for more episodes!

As per news, CW’s new airing schedule is responsible for this cancellation. Actually, the network is in mood to introduce some more shows and that’s why ‘Aliens in America’ is scheduled to go out! Well, fans are protesting against this announcement, let’s see whether it helps to change their decision or not?

I know you’d like to say thanks to me if you’re mad for Dan Byrd…. Aha! Gals are blushing!!!!! Just kidding……

Me, being a huge fan of Justin and also being a teenage gal, was surprised by a post exploring Dan Byrd’s past and what he did to gain the name and fame he has. Let me share it with you:

Can you believe??? Dan has been acting since he was at 9. It was not so easy to get on the top of the TV world. He suffered a lot…. Even his education was erratic too. He rarely attended his traditional school.

What I liked most about the post was his statement when he says ‘I was having a real life experience to act in Aliens in America. Why he said like that??? Actually, when he attends school in Glendale, California, he founds himself a minority there. Now compare his real-life to reel-life…… it was so tough for him to make friends on the show and it was also tough for him to make friends in his school. According to him, lots of Persian and American kids were there…. But he was a minority so it was difficult to get adjusted in such kinda environment. What a co-incident it is???????? After some years, he plays the very same role on a TV show…

Dan Byrd was born on November 20, 1985 and has a younger brother and sister. His character on “Aliens in America’ was very much liked by the viewers’. It is a mile-stone of his acting career so he’s known as Justin. He also appears on various TV shows and has also made guest appearances on movies as well.

Well, whenever any one asks me about my fave character on the show, it seems tough to respond. Whether it’s Raja or Justin… both are perfect.

Reason being that is- Both Raja and Justin are superb and each one makes another complete. When show begins, I was deeply involved with Justin…. Must say his situation of being an unpopular teenager was pitiful. He was with no friends on TV but his innocence brings him lots of fans who’re ready to befriend with him and I was also one of those crazy fans. If I’d have been given a single chance…. I’d have done it.

When Raja appears on show… it seemed that someone is there to make Justin’s life interesting and enjoyable and he done that. Despite of social, racial, regional, religion based, cultural differences, they become good friends to each other.

I still remember the episode entitled ‘The metamorphosis’, it was my fave episode and I’ve seen it for several times. When Raja encourages Anita to dress modestly and act intelligently, Justin decides to have a shot with her. Justin tells her mom that it’s the right time for him to get his own clothes. Lots of scenes were there showing Raja and Justin caring and helping out each other.

Finally, I am again unable to say which is my fave character on the show… if Raja is 100% then Justin is also 101%… don’t know who was better…..but I’d like to say they both were so good and Raja-Justin relationship was never shown in past and I think any such kinds relationship will never ever shown in future….. I am still crazy to have another season of this great show… even when chances are very less.

Ah!!!!!!! All these cancellations…..

Another cancellation is here and the victim this time is ‘Aliens in America’. Series based on a very good and unique plot is declared cancelled. Why so??? Can’t digest all this…

Show was very much liked by the teenagers and Raja-Justin relationship was enough capable to show the world that cast or communities don’t matter when it comes to Friendship. Oh!! Friendship reminds me to wish you a very Happy Friendship Day!!! Go and get busy with someone who is your friend and make this special day really very special for him/her…

Let’s back on the point, so network has decided to kick off the show… what the reason behind all this is?? Series has secured 1.57 million viewers in its only one season so no chance of cancellation due to poor ratings.

Actually, CW’s new airing schedule may be a reason of cancellation as network has introduced some more shows so old ones are asked to go out. Let’s see the hard side now; series is also criticized by people who don’t want to see a Pakistani- American relationship.

Whatever is the reason of cancellation, I am surprised by their decision. Please show the outside way to the shows that are just useless and that don’t have anything special to air…. Aliens in America must back as fans are still looking for more from series.

Well, no campaigns are here, no protests to get it back…. please don’t let the series die!!

Aliens in America, what to say about the series, completely unique plot; and characters on the series were really very lovable and adorable. Series commences on October 1, 2007 and the pilot episode introduces us with Justin Tolchuck who is an abnormal teenager dealing with the issue of unpopularity in high school of Wisconsin. Series also shows the care and concern of a mom when she says her kid lacks friends and in order to fix this she contacts with school authorities to bring an outsider in the life of his son.

Initially, when I heard about the show, I was little bit confused about the plot but when watched online pilot episode, everything was apparent to me. Raja comes in their lives and just think by yourself, how much difficult it is to adjust in a life where no one knows you. And the worst part is that he belongs to a country where terrorism is on its extreme and Americans are not ready to believe on any Pakistani. Franny, the mom gets frustrated from all those news and starts developing doubts on his personality.

But dad Gary believes him and is very much impressed by Raja’s loyalty and faithfulness. Justin’s sis also begins a cute relationship with Raja. Well, ask me for my fave character on the show??? No doubts… first is Raja, a cool dude with lost of innocence on his face and so helpful. Then is Justin …. Convinces you to have pity on him when dealing with non-friends condition. Rest was also good. Season 1 finale ‘Raja at Sixteen’ was aired on 5-18-2008.

As being a very big fan of the show, I am surprised by its cancellation. Aliens in America should back…… really it doesn’t deserve a cancellation.

Aliens in America is an American TV sitcom which was set in Medora, Wisconsin. Medora is the hometown to a family consisting of for members. Let’s meet with this family – First person is Father Gary, next to him is mom Franny, and two kids – son Justin and daughter Claire. This is the family which series centers on and the central point of this family is the teenager son Justin. He’s an unpopular sixteen year old boy who’s very much desperate to fit in with the cool teenagers at school. Frustrated from his unpopularity and his condition, his mom decides to host a foreign exchange student. She hopes that the visitor will help his son to become a popular teenager by removing his shyness.

So, a visitor enters their life. He’s also a sixteen year old Pakistani Muslim boy named Raja Musharaff. Though Raja and Justin develop a very strong emotional bond, mom is very much frightened by the news of Middle East terrorism and all. Franny is head is filled up with doubts but dad Gary has a faith on the foreigner and is very much impressed by his courtesy, loyalty and ethics. Claire also develops a good relationship with Raja.

Series’ plot was very much liked by the viewers and the ultimate purpose of the show was to dispel viewers in the post-9/11 era of the idiotic assumption that every Muslim posed an eminent threat to the American way of life. Raja’s character was the most lovable and interesting character as no such character was aired before.

Series is dealing with cancellation after the season 1 finale and was aired on The CW. However, only one season is aired but even then the series has averaged 1.57 million viewers in its sole season.

Aliens in America’s regular star cast list includes only 5 members. Leading characters were Dan Byrd and Adhir Kalyan playing Justin and Raja respectively. Various guest appearances were also made on the show and also having recurring characters as well. Here’s the complete list of the star cast-
