    Cancelled

    I cannot believe they are wrapping this up after Season Five. It was a great very funny show. And I know someone will replace it with more garbage and utter crap.

    It's actually funny

    As part Asian and a big fan of TV shows this of course is a show for me. These days it seems very hard to make a comedy that's actually funny, but believe me, there were some laughs that you could here if you listen good.

    For me this means everything for a comedy show, because in shows like The Big Bang or Silicon Valley the jokes are just not that funny. You hear the laughing tape and you think... this was a joke?

    I am also a big fan of Fresh off the Boat and after two episodes this comes close, not really close, but close, because that is really one of my favorite comedy shows right now.

    So I gave it a 9, maybe I would say a 8, but for a comedy that is actually funny these days I believe they deserve a 9. By the way, anyone else thinks Janet looks like a Korean Yvonne Strahovski?

    A wholesome version of The Simpsons

    I was highly impressed by by Kim's Convenience. Characters both main and supporting are all very strong and well written -- meaning all of them can definitely hold their own story lines in episodes. I absolutely loved when the writers would have story lines which would focus on one of the main characters as well as supports (need more Mr. Kim and Kimchi adventures!).

    All in all this is one of the most wholesome shows on TV I've enjoyed in a long time; definitely fun for the whole family!

    Great comedy

    A great comedy, the cast have chemistry and the storylines are well developed. Each episode brings laughter and an occasional heartfelt moment. Ok, see you!

    This Fringe Festival Gem continues to charm

    This show lives up to my hopes! The Kim family's smiling faces have been showing up everywhere in Toronto the past few weeks, and after seeing the original play the series was based on I was thrilled to see what started as a gem from the Fringe reach a broader audience nation- wide.

    Kim's convenience is fun, full or heart, and the series is finding its stride more and more with each episode. It's rooted in a flawed but deeply loving family and these relationships are so relate-able. I find this so much more satisfying than the typical family sitcom about about ultra-rich or ultra-poor families portrayed as 'just your average family.' Kim's Convenience, in being true to its characters, finds an honesty that's refreshing.

    • Trivia
      Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who plays Mr. Kim/Appa, is ten years younger than Jean Yoon, who plays the wife/mother, Mrs. Kim/Umma.
    • Goofs
      Jung's criminal record is often brought up as an obstacle in his professional life, however, because Jung committed his crimes as a teenager, the Canadian Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) would have kept his criminal involvement confidential. His criminal record would have been sealed and/or destroyed when he turned 18.
