Have you heard of Seth MacFarlane's new animated TV sitcom "Bordertown"? Well if your answer to that is a resounding "no", then you better watch it as the show is about two families living in a Southwest desert town on the United States–Mexico border.
Many new series were welcomed this year and one of the highlights is 'Bordertown'. With the end of American Dad, leaving a gap on Fox's Sunday Night Animation Domination block, MacFarlane once again stepped up to the challenge as he produced Bordertown alongside 'Family Guy' writer Mark Hentemann.
From this point on my dear viewers, spoilers will be coming your way so beware.
The show premiered last January 3 where a fictional town called Mexifornia (get it? It is the combination of Mexico and California) where two families Buckwalds and the Gonzalezes are the stars of the show. These two families patriarch are in some kind of a competition and a love-hate but mostly hate relationship. Bud Buckwald voiced by Hank Azaria, an indolent border agent and a racist who deeply abhors his amiable, hardworking neighbor Ernesto (voiced by Nicholas Gonzalez). In general, the series is about the typical racism towards immigrants wherein the show counteracts it with humor.
The characters weren't given so much attention in the first episode except for J.C., Ernesto's nephew who is a self-absorbed liberal that got to engaged Bud's daughter, Becky. This obviously pretty much increased the hatred of Bud towards immigrants and with a new anti-immigration law passed, nothing could ever delight Bud the most.
The next episode of Bordertown will air on Fox this January 10 so tune in as to we get to know the characters even more who are as what many viewers say, insufferable in their own little ways.
