Bordertown

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.

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.

To joeywieberg-92286, the guy who tried to say Seth Mcfarlane has nothing to do with the show..."Seth MacFarlane ... executive producer (13 episodes, 2016)" "Seth MacFarlane ...

Peter Griffin (1 episode, 2016)" maybe he should read the credits before making statements.

Maybe you have to actually live in a border town to think this is funny. We do, and love this show! Where we live could be Mexifornia! Sometimes it's like living right in Mexico with all the billboards in Spanish, grocery store fliers in Spanish and having to speak Spanish to get a job...

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.

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.
