RE: Haley in "F IS FOR FAMILY"
This recent interview with Bill Burr touches on "F is for Family."
Quote:“There’s a certain laugh that goes beyond just, ‘Oh, you said something funny,’ ” the 47-year-old performer says. “It’s when they’re really relating to what you’re saying. There are three different top-shelf laughs: There’s one where they’re relating to you, there’s one where they appreciate the ride you just took them on and then there’s the laugh of ‘This guy’s out of his mind.’ Everything else sounds like a chuckle, and I feel like I have to do better.”
...Although Burr admits that a lot of his best memories are sports-related, he also holds an affection for the era itself of when he first began following the Royals. So much so that his newest project, “F Is for Family,” is set in 1973.
...Burr first unleashed his concept for the racy series during a 2012 meeting with writer-producer Michael Price (“The Simpsons”) and producer Peter Billingsley (yes, that kid from “A Christmas Story”).
“Bill gives you honesty with no real artifice,” says “F Is for Family” co-creator Price.
“Me being an old sitcom hand with ‘The Simpsons,’ where everything is ironic, and we’re looking to mine jokes out of every line, I had to retrain my thinking while working on the show. While Bill wanted it to be as funny as possible, he didn’t want it to come off like a sitcom. … What really struck me was how passionate he was about this idea.”
...Burr says he still enjoys watching TV shows from that decade. He cites “The Rockford Files, “Barney Miller,” “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons” among his favorites.
“I also like watching ‘Adam 12’ because I like trying to figure out where they are in L.A.,” he says of the police drama. “And every single call, they always have to make a U-turn. They were never going the same direction as the crime.”
