I think sometimes we have too high of expectations of people in the entertainment industry to be friends/super close and not just view them as coworkers.

paulvdb October 28, 2019 Share October 28, 2019 ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ Spinoff With Indian Family Starring Preity Zinta & Vir Das Eyed With Episode Of ABC Series Quote The potential Fresh Off the Boat spinoff is taking shape. Bollywood star Preity G Zinta and Indian actor-comedian Vir Das (Whiskey Cavalier) have been tapped to guest star in an upcoming episode of Fresh Off the Boat, which could lead to a spinoff series, tentatively titled Magic Motor Inn. Written by Fresh Off the Boat writer-producer Rachna Fruchbom, the episode centers around an Indian family whose daughter attends school with Eddie. The girl’s parents, DC and Meena, are played by Das and Zinta, respectively. The episode from FOTB’s current sixth season, which starts filming on Nov. 18, is not a backdoor pilot like is the common practice, including the black-ish episode last season that served as a backdoor pilot for spinoff series mixed-ish. But it would serve as template for the proposed spinoff, Magic Motor Inn, which would star Zinta and Das. If the network opts to move forward, a regular pilot will be ordered during the traditional pilot season from FOTB producer, 20th Century Fox TV.

CrazyDog November 8, 2019 Share November 8, 2019 I'm bummed, because this show really has a wonderful cast. 6 seasons is pretty impressive. But all behind the scenes drama aside, it makes sense to end it with Eddie heading off to college. I still can't believe how he and his friends became my favorites. I'll miss the "YEAH" lol. I hope we get more of them before the finale. And I'll miss Louis and Marvin too! They are such a perfect duo, and we haven't seen much of that friendship lately. The show really has been more disjointed this season, though it still has it's moments. Good luck to all the kids for finding other opportunities. They'll find it more challenging, especially as they grow out of the cute kid roles, but I think they are all pretty talented - I love Hudson Yang, and think he has some great comedic timing. I think Randall Park will continue to be very successful (and maybe Wu as well). 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19577-in-the-media-fresh-off-the-press/page/5/#findComment-5736719

I get it more that the show lasted longer than they originally thought it would. The real Eddie wanted more of a portray of his book and "real life", but not realizes that would have been hard to do and the show would have probably ended after a couple of years. It's pretty simple, the ratings weren't there, the actors were tired of the show, especially Constance and they get to at least wrap it up in a satisfying way to them. Instead of similar to how ABC pulled the plug on previous shows. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19577-in-the-media-fresh-off-the-press/page/5/#findComment-5878464

It was really tiresome with Jessica being a jerk and learning a lesson at the end of each episode. I think the jumping shark moment happened when Jessica became the focus and the rest were secondary. You can't continue a show with one character being negative all the time and the rest of the cast trying to work around her.
