Currently animating on the Netflix series "F is for Family" due to be released in September.

Quote:...
Smart, sincere and punctuated by four-letter obscenities in the way Burr’s stand-up routine is, “F Is for Family” is set in 1973 and follows Frank Murphy (voiced by Burr and inspired by his own father), a hardworking blue-collar father of three and husband who means well but often falls short.

Frank is in good company. His wife Sue (voiced by Laura Dern) sells a Tupperware-type product in hopes of finding her life’s purpose beyond marriage and motherhood and his eldest son Kevin (voiced by Justin Long) smokes weed, avoids his homework and mouths off.

Bill (voiced by Haley Reinhart) is the middle child awkwardly transitioning from his childhood to preteen years and Maureen (voiced by Debi Derryberry) is the youngest and only girl, constantly challenging gender roles and concepts. Meanwhile, the Murphy’s cocaine-dependent ladies man of a neighbor Vic (Sam Rockwell) rounds out a cast of brilliantly subversive supporting characters who orbit around the Murphys and provide added laughs.
....
While the trips down memory lane are cool, the best part about “F Is for Family” is the Murphy family. Burr and co-creator Michael Price (“The Simpsons”) do a wonderful job of making us root for this dysfunctional bunch as they stumble through life and all its disappointments.

Frank is a little racist and sexist, Sue is a little manic, Kevin is immature, Bill lives in a perpetual state of fear and Maureen is a troublemaker but to know them is to love them and to love the show. The third episode includes trips to the black part of town and a disgusting men’s bathroom at a football game, both of which are thought-provoking and funny in all the right ways.
....
The only glaring flaw surrounding “F Is for Family” is that there aren’t more episodes. But once people start streaming it, they will enjoy it and Netflix will create more installments and seasons. Like Burr, this show is more than deserving.

Quote:The Honeymooners
Sitcom, 1955-56

When it comes to Family's template, "a lot of people will be looking to other cartoons, going, 'Oh, King of the Hill, The Simpsons, South Park.' It's really The Honeymooners. The Honeymooners was always the same thing where they were going to do something simple: like get a new refrigerator or Ralph was going to get a promotion. Then there was all this dysfunction and yelling and scheming, but it always ended with, 'Baby, you're the greatest.' I always wanted to end on that because, in my family, there were all these volatile personalities, but when the smoke cleared, you were sitting down having dinner that Mom or Dad made, or decorating the Christmas tree. But no one ever said, 'Baby, you're the greatest.' No one ever expressed love, it was implied by actions."

Jonny Quest
Animated series, 1964-65

"What I liked about Jonny Quest was that people actually died on the show — it's the realism. In our show, if somebody falls off a cliff, they're gonna die. Not saying that's going to happen, but that's what I always liked about Jonny, for whatever reason. It always struck me as, 'This seems a lot more real.' "

Quote:If we are on for many years, God willing, we’d see them get older. We’d see Bill get older, we’d see Kevin get older, we’d see Maureen get older. They’d grow and change and things that happened to them in earlier episodes would carry on. So that thing that happened to Bill (Haley) in that 5th episode you tweeted about (a sex scene), that’s going to be with him forever. That will absolutely color everything moving forward, his relationship with his parents, his feelings about what sex is, that’s there. That’s now part of his make up. I’m so glad we ended up doing it that way.”

Quote:Through his stand-up and podcast, Burr does not deal with his problems internally. Or, at least not silently. His worldview is a dark one. Yet somehow his personal comedy is not nearly as creepy as the uncomfortable animated world he's dreamed up, in which there is little relief from the dark portrait of the American family. There are few punch lines and fewer purely goofy moments. Whether he's aware of it or not, the show might not be all that fun.
