Indians on “Starship Enterprise”

Posted : March 30, 2005 at 3:40 pm [America/Los_Angeles]

Over the weekend, I took in the BBC’s “The Kumars At No. 42″–a hilarious sitcom/talk-show hybrid featuring an extended Indian family that has immigrated to London. To help pay the bills, these fictional Kumars, incongruously, host a chat show from a television studio they’ve bolted onto their modest home in Wembley. Real guest stars appear as themselves.

Actor Patrick Stewart was in the hot seat as I watched on Sunday. Despite Stewart’s attempts to move the conversation toward his theatrical career, the Kumars mostly wanted to know about Star Trek.” At one point, Grandma Kumar pressed Stewart on why there were no Indians aboard the Starship Enterprise. “Didn’t you need IT support?” asked the grandmother.
