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.

This show isn't the worst, but most definitely can't be described as good. The character designs are beyond hideous and the animation is low budget. It's not very funny and often the jokes are over-the-top dumb. I did laugh at some moments.

Bordertown has a lot going for it. Created by Family Guy writer Mark Hentemann, executive-produced by Seth MacFarlane, and starring Hank Azaria and Alex Borstein, it should have been hit right out of the park. I love Hank Azaria, and have been a fan of Alex Borstein since the early days of MadTV, and admittedly, they both shine here, but the show is not the sum of its parts. I'll spare you repetition. Let's just say all the common points of all the bad reviews are spot-on. I'm not even one of those easily offended types, and I still found myself thinking some of the jokes were mean just for the sake of being mean. I watched the entire first season hoping it would hit its stride and settle into a decent show. It never did. To me, it seemed like it was written by juvenile delinquents under the supervision of their "cool" uncle that can totally get them beer. I'm not saying avoid Bordertown. Just don't set your expectations very high.

Yeah, this wasn't really a necessary show to make, (especially making it a family guy clone), but, to be honest, it didn't make me wanna die! I do obviously have many problems with it tho: the animation and character designs look real stiff, and Bud's boss has more body than leg which is disturbing. Speaking of Bud, I honestly can't stand him. The only positive thing I can say about him is that his voice actor is Hank Azaria, so, yeah. In fact, none of the characters really stood out to me. I get Ernesto wasn't too bad and his father was pretty funny, but that's about it for the characters. Just boring and that's it. Some of the jokes or humor in this show kinda can get a chuckle out of me, but that's cause my humor is so broken in 2024 that it's upsetting. So yeah, I honestly wouldn't really recommend this show, but, it's not that bad to watch for the most part. If you can deal with an annoying protagonist with kinda boring side characters accompanying him, then, this is the show for you i suppose. Just....don't expect it to be good.

Watched the first episode, and I thought it was pretty good! I don't know about all of these people complaining, but in my opinion, it's the best show Seth MacFarlane has made yet! The good thing about this show is that it doesn't just make fun of Mexico...it makes fun of all countries. And, well, that's what Family Guy and all of other Seth's shows fail to deliver. I was expecting this show to have mixed reviews, but...GAH! It has extremely poor reviews! How can you not like this??? I bet my review gets heaps of hate, but you know, I seriously don't care. People need to stop hating this show! There is nothing wrong with it! I think it deserves 6.7/10! But myself, I think you should give it a watch yourself and make your own opinion, not read others. I just rated it a 10/10 so the rating gets higher.
