It hasn’t aired yet but already Twitter commentators are calling for heads to roll over the new Channel Nine series Here Come the Habibs.
The synopsis is…you know what, let me put it down here in the words of Channel Nine.
The promo perpetuates so many predictable tropes and tired stereotypes, but perhaps the show itself will prove to be something else entirely. Many who have seen the promo seem uncertain.
Youch. Here Come the Habibs is set to air early in 2016.
There seem to be much higher hopes for a comedic take on Australian multiculturalism in SBS’s The Family Law.
Written by Marieke Hardy and Benjamin Law, the The Family Law is a semi-autobiographical account of Law’s adolescence growing up in a sprawling, eccentric Chinese-Australian family based on his memoir of the same name.
Like Leigh Sales says, SBS is airing the first ep online on its Facebook page at 5pm this Friday, 8 January.
Tell us, will you watch Here Come the Habibs? What about The Family Law?

It's little more than a rich version of Kenny's family from South Park to be honest.I have seen many an ethnic show over the years but none as disgusting as this one.Nine for a fraction of the cost could have shown us the later versions of Mom we never got to see or some Two Broke Girls.
I wish Kerry was still alive,he'd know what to do..." Get that SHIT off the air!"
don't you worry.We will leave that to his sons.I remember the days when 9's Tuesday Line Up was made up of good sitcoms.A double Caroline in the City or even some Bob Morrison Show or anything else old school would have been better.
1. He only had one son.
2. He had the intellect and foresight to sell his equity in 2006.
