Okay that makes sense. Ottawa must be a hotbed of the animation studios.

The Wrap: ‘F Is for Family’ Review: Netflix Animated Comedy Is Full of Laughs, Heart, Curse Words
By Mekeisha Madden Toby

...
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.

USA Today:

"5 movies, shows that shaped Burr's Netflix 'Family'"

The first two as described by Bill:

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.' "

The others...Barney Miller, The Goodbye Girl and Archer.

I always enjoyed the Honeymooners (reruns .. I'm not quite that old). There was lots of nice ways they resolved volatile problems.

However.. the line I remember most was the "One of these days Alice, Pow, straight to the moon" ... which was a frequent catch phrase.

Such a thing was considered funny and must have rang a bell in accepted emotions (not acts necessarily but emotions) at the time.

Times were different. I think people were less thin skinned about insults for better or worse.

I think that it is important to remember that even in the "golden days" humor could be rather extreme even if vulgar words weren't used.

BTW Alice was always the smart, reasonable one on the show and Ralph most often misguided until he came to grips with reality.

Anyway, this clip(s) has both the "to the moon" and the "baby, you're the best" lines

Quote from an interview with Mike Price:

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.”

Esquire:

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.

Just a warning..a lot of times Netflix releases shows a little early. So we might want to check at 10 o'clock.

It should be a lot of fun trying to comprehend that Haley is Bill's voice. And watching others when they figure out that Haley Reinhart is the voice of the animated Bill. A new chapter begins.
