Yes, my mom is supportive of my acting. No, my dad wasn’t at first but is now. Yes, I was born here. No, they don’t care that I married a white guy. Actually this country has a class system too. #someonegetmethisonatshirtplease"The series will also feature Indian actress and culinary writer Madhur Jaffrey as the grandmother.This is NBC's blurb about the show:"Emet is the perfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter. Okay, she's not perfect. In fact, she's just figuring it out like the rest of us. Sure, she feels bad when she has a sexy dream about someone other than her husband, or when she pretends not to know her kids when they misbehave in public, or when she uses her staff to help solve personal problems. But that's okay, right? Nobody can have it all and do it perfectly."It is a half-hour comedy show.
