According to an LA Times article:

"The new comedy's characters include a sex-crazed black man, a drunken Latino gardener and a grumpy Asian housekeeper who speaks in heavily accented broken English.

This new "comedy" show (and yes comedy, because once again, the joke is on us) is a product of the young network called MyNetwork TV.

If you check out the show and are disgusted, here is their contact form if you want to express wishes for better portrayal of blacks on their network. Contact My Network TV

According to Wikipedia (hopefully, this info is accurate): "MyNetworkTV (sometimes written My Network TV, and unofficially abbreviated MyNet, MyTV, MYN-TV, MNT, or MNTV) is a television network in the United States, owned by the Fox Television Stations Group to fill the void left on their UPN affiliates after the WB and UPN merged to form The CW Television Network on January 24, 2006. MNTV was then announced on February 22 of that year."
