Bordertown

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.

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...

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.

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.
