Korean-American actors own Thursday night television this fall.  On Thursday night, four Korean-American actors were in very prominent roles on four major TV shows on the major networks.  It’s must see TV on Thursday night!

• John Cho plays FBI agent Demetri Noh in ABC’s heavily promoted TV show FlashForward, which premiered at 8pm EST.  Note: His fiancé in the series is portrayed by Gabrielle Union!
• Sandra Oh plays Dr. Cristina Yang in Grey’s Anatomy.  She happened to be nominated this past weekend for an Emmy Award.  Grey’s Anatomy is back for its sixth season premiere at 9pm EST on ABC.
• Ken Jeong is in the new NBC comedy Community as the Spanish teacher Senor Chang.  It premiered last week and the show starts at 9:30pm EST on NBC.  Ken Jeong was finally introduced on the show as the cantankerous Spanish teacher.  Hilarious!
• And finally, Tim Kang is in the second season premiere of The Mentalist, the biggest hit from last television season.  He plays agent Kimball Cho and the show kicks off at 10pm on CBS.
• Well, if you really want to keep it going, Elizabeth Kim is a contestant on CBS’ Survivor and Brian Tee is a guest star on the season premiere of C.S.I.

That’s right, you can watch almost all of them between 8pm to 11pm on Thursday night, with the exception of the overlap between Sandra Oh and Ken Jeong going head to head at 9:30.  They’re all represented across 3 of the 4 major networks: ABC, NBC, CBS.  What’s up Fox?  No Love for the Koreans?  I know Bobby Lee is on MADtv, but that’s Saturday night.   Btw, it doesn’t stop there.  More Koreans will be be seen on other shows that have yet to premiere.  EXCITING!!!
