Bordertown

This is one of those shows I'm very sorry about it only had 1 season, it's a lot of fun, it had to have at least one more season, showing a city on the US-Mexico border and making jokes was very interesting, some cartoons like South Park, Simpsons and Family Guy could have a few episodes less and this show could have more.

For a number of years, Family Guy and American Dad were these brilliant, irreverent shows from Seth MacFarlane that were bold and outrageous and disgusting and horrific and wildly funny. And then at a certain point - somewhere around the same time Seth created the tedious Cleveland - the air went out of both shows.

I haven't watched anything from Seth for tears (except the cute Ted movies), but I thought I'd check out his new show and see if it was any good. But while not *terrible*, it's also not especially interesting.

The show is about a racist white guy and his Mexican-American neighbors in a border town that, in the first episode, passes a anti-illegal immigrant law.

A number of white people seem to think the show is racist against white people, but I'm pretty sure having one racist white guy in a series that has other non-racist white people is not a very good example of a racist system that won't give the white man a break. Also, these people must never have seen a Seth MacFarlane series before.

If you've seen Seth's shows, you won't be surprised by the cheap, easy jokes about alien probing and child pageants, nor by the extremities of its political correctness, nor by its jaundiced view of humans. And if you remember when Family Guy stopped being funny, you won't be surprised that this is only mildly amusing.

Ultimately, nothing in Bordertown is surprising. And that's the problem.

I love almost all of the 90's to 2010's adult themed cartoons - South Park, King of the Hill, Beavis & Butthead, Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Futurama, The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Moonbeam City, Dr. Katz, and The Critic are all good to great shows - and it appears I will have to add "Bordertown" to that list!

Just watched the first episode...hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud at numerous bits, especially the guy who kept getting abducted & anal probed by aliens and how the aliens started treating him like he was their late-night booty call -- great stuff! We'll see how it goes from here...but so far...nice start.

Lots & lots of laughs - I burst out a few times :-)

It's really sad that the PC crowd has no appreciation for laughs & gags.

There's a pile of stereotypical jokes & twisted humor. It's defiantly not for kids. The animation is pretty standard & reasonably quality.

Sadly, IMDb has again failed miserably with it's rating for a show I started watching. The rating of 7.6 for Legends of Tomorrow is a sham. That show is very, very bad (nope, won't cut it as a cult classic either).

I'm hoping that IMDb does not continue with the poor ratings, otherwise I'm off to a more reliable site for my reviews.

I'm not quite sure why everybody on here is giving crap to Seth McFarlane. Seth does not make, write, direct, animate or have anything to do with this show. Unlike most of the reviews left for Bordertown, I think it is highly entertaining, very funny, and easily one of the better shows to air as of recently. Maybe it's just me but Bordertown and F is for Family are hilarious. Maybe instead of bashing McFarlane you all should check and see who actually wrote the show. This show has shown a strong and very funny start and I'm excited to see what they will do next. Bordertown is unique from other "Adult Animations" and I see having a good long run. I'm very interested in the show only three episodes in. Looking forward to more. 9/10.
