bryce-wiseman94 The animated family sitcom has become a staple of cable television ever since the Simpsons found worldwide acclaim in the 90's. Its become the "Superhero movie" of TV: an over saturated genre with all too many duds. Bordertown, despite its clear political inspirations, is not one of those duds.All the characters you know from previous shows are here. The bumbling everyman dad, the stay at home mother, the overweight daughter, and the young child that seems too aware of whats happening around them for their age. The concepts are nothing new, but you'll be surprised how many of the jokes stick. The comedy ranges from juvenile humor to quick, intelligent quips that will go over your head if you aren't paying attention. If you do, you'll be rewarded with what is in my opinion some of the smartest animated comedy in years.Lets address the elephant in the room; Yes, it is very clear that this show is capitalizing off of the current political climate in the United States. This would certainly bother me a lot more if the virtues and shortcomings of both the left and right were not properly represented, but they are. You never get the sense that the writers lean one way or another, they simply recognize the faults in the system at both ends. It's refreshing to see this bipartisan approach when so much media in the past few years has had an obvious political agenda.No, it isn't perfect, but it's very much worth your time if you've found yourself looking for a smart show disguised as a cookie cutter dumb animated sitcom.

Felix Saenz I hadn't seen to do reviews that much lately. So for my first review of the year I do the first cartoon that premiered this year: Bordertown.This show is about two families living next to each other on a city in California while dealing with the city's laws. Honestly I thought I wasn't gonna like it. The first few episodes weren't the greatest thing ever (as well as Groundhog Dog which sucked as well). But later on, it becomes just an okay show for me to like especially since most jokes are kinda harmless. There's still some downsides, like unwanted fourth wall jokes (Family Guy had overdo it a lot in the later seasons we don't need to have that in here), racist jokes (what you except in a show like this), and a few others. The characters are a mixed bag. Some of them are unlikable or boring, but there's some characters I enjoyed like Ernesto, the coyote, and a couple more. The animation is really stiff as heck and I don't like that. But then again later FG episodes had lackluster animation so this doesn't matter much. Speaking of which, the writing can be a little too similar with Family Guy at times. Either way, in the end, I actually don't think it was a bad show, but it's just rather forgettable, even for Mark Hentemann's standards.

Paul Senpai 80% of all the characters are stupid and you hate them 1) because they looks horrible and 2) because they are stupid, but not in the good way like in Family Guy... The jokes are sometimes good, sometimes they are too over the top and sometimes the jokes are just retarded. The art style will most likely off put a lot of people off and maybe the racist jokes will help too... I like the openings with Bud and El Coyote in the in the style of the Road Runner Show.So if you like Family Guy and you are not easily offended you will have a laugh or two. But if you love Family Guy you most likely will hate the show.

jtungsten16 Love,Love, Love Bordertown! I missed the live airings of it and watched 3 episodes on Hulu and I have to say it's a great show. Bordertown is funny, entertaining and visually stunning. I Ike the look of the show and the music is great too. People really need to give the show a chance, I don't understand the low rating.This show deserves at least a 7.2 I will let people know how great this show is. Please give Bordertown a chance, you will not be disappointed.I like the voices on this show and the sound, especially when the characters walk on the floor. I really hope fox keeps this show on the air.
