Started from small snippets of the daily life of a South Indian immigrant and his family! Soon the small clips portray each episode with a dose of pure non-offensive humor! Shot in the Malayalam language add to its humble recreation of the daily life in America in 2008-10! Even without the melodrama touch, the series was well recieved into the hearts of every Malayalee both in Kerala and around the world.

The trails of a middle class husband becoming an insurance agent , the hectic schedule of a nurse housewife , the upbringing of the children , the antics of the family and their friends and festivities of American Malayalee Commnity along the changes of politcal landscapes add flavors of excellence to the sitcom. Lovable screenplay , decent characters , nice pace and many factors enhance the status of classic heartwarming entertainer!

Enjoy this HUMBLE YET GLORIOUS MAGNUM OPUS for a heavy dose of nostalgia!

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED ! "DEAFENTLY"!

The blandness of Akkara Kazhchakal (Foreign Sights) is what works like magic in this 50-episode sitcom of a Malayali family living in New Jersey but refusing to let go of their Kerala roots. Frontman George is the source of most comedy, as he traverses his way around his family life and professional life, the latter of which amounts to nothing. This is why he experiments with different businesses including insurance and a health pickle and ends up making a fool of himself. This is classic television that brings joy and nostalgia to many, especially those who have lived abroad, away from their family. This is no Asianet/Surya TV/Flowers show, this is comedy gold. Watch it.

Every character lived in this series... Even after 12 yrs I see akkara kazchakal when ever I get time. Needless to say AK movie was also good... I only wish the same crew comes back with AK 2.
