No doubt capitalizing on Borat fever, CBS' broadband channel Innertube is broadcasting the full-length pilot episode of The Papdits created by Da Ali G Show writer and producer Ant Hines. The show's Borat-type premise follows the misadventures of a family from Kashmir as they interact with Americans while looking for the perfect place to settle and make their fortune. Their journey begins in Arkansas.

The show, again like Borat, is a comedy/reality hybrid. You've got mockumentary, talking head shots like The Office, but also scenes in which the actors are improvising off of unwitting American dupes. The Papdits perpetuate that uncomfortable, cringe-inducing humor we've all come to know and love.

Having taken a look at the show, I can say that it's always nice to see South Asian faces on TV. The Diwali celebration on The Office just wasn't enough for me, but I'm greedy that way. Unfortunately, the pilot is going to suffer from both Borat comparisons and from being late to the single-camera, improv party. The Papdits is worth a look, but it's tough when there are so many shows out there doing aspects of what The Papdits is trying to do, but better - Reno 911, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Hines' own Ali G Show. Unless it becomes an internet phenom on the scale of PaxilBack, the only way you'll be meeting the Papdits is on Innertube.
