Kromm July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 From last October, the initial reporting on the show: http://www.avclub.com/article/netflix-orders-bill-burr-animated-series-f-family-210826 By Katie Rife@futureschlock Oct 22, 2014 12:52 PMHaving recently made its first foray into adult animation with a series about a cartoon horse stuck in the ‘90s, the streaming service has ordered a new animated series about a cartoon family stuck in the ‘70s. Called F Is For Family, the show will be a “family comedy” based on the standup of Bill Burr, which totally works if you come from the kind of family prone to complaining about political correctness run amok (as many of us do).F Is For Family will—as previously mentioned—take place in the ‘70s, “a time when you could smack your kid, smoke inside and bring a gun to the airport.” Burr will voice the Murphy family patriarch, with Laura Dern as his presumably long-suffering wife and Justin Long as his oldest son. Burr and Simpsons writer Michael Price will executive produce alongside Vince Vaughn, who calls Burr “the funniest, most original voice out there.” Plot details are not yet available, but shouting, Irish jokes, and at least one self-referential Breaking Bad gag are probable.

Eucrid December 20, 2015 Share December 20, 2015 I watched the first episode and I wont be watching any more. I guess if you like Bill Burr then listening to him shout might be for you but I just have no interest in this. I didn't laugh and I was quite bored. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28700-f-is-for-family-general-discussion/#findComment-1817040
Chaos Theory December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 (edited) I am not sure about this. I was bored so I watched the pilot. It can see what the show is trying to do but I don't find any of the character interesting enough to continue much further. It's slow season so I will give the show another episode to impress me before I call it quits. <---Update: I have now watched most of the show and it does not get any better. It was only five episodes I thought I would see it through but honestly the show held nothing for me. I can see someone growing up in that era like the teenage boy who would be an adult now kinda liking it because....ha! Other then that it was too....something and not...something enough. Pass.

jonesingjay December 24, 2015 Share December 24, 2015 I enjoyed parts of it. I don't know if the short season helped or hurt the series. I hope it gets a second season because I get the premise but I think it needs another season to really get its legs. I didn't grow up in the 70s. I wasn't even a thought in either of my parents minds but overall I liked it. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28700-f-is-for-family-general-discussion/#findComment-1824570

LeylandAllison February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 I used to listen to comedy radio 1060 in Calgary on long drives. Bill burr almost made me hit the ditch one time I laughed so hard. He was talking about how far people hang around the Cheesecake Factory staring through the glass, thinking of new ways to get fat. "Hey there's cookies in this one!" I liked the first episode of F is for Family. I belly laughed when the older brother punched his younger brother after saving his ass from the bullies. I briefly reflected on my versions of similar events growing up. I like that this show is uncensored, relatable, and crass. I will continue watching to see if it stays this good! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28700-f-is-for-family-general-discussion/#findComment-1930815

I think it's hilarious and I have greatly enjoyed watching and rewatching it. I'm not expecting 20-plus seasons like The Simpsons or South Park but there's no reason it can't go at least 10 seasons.

Avaleigh November 28, 2021 Share November 28, 2021 I need more seasons of this show. So many things they could have done. If nothing else, I'd love a couple of time jump episode specials. One could be in 1976 and we could see the Murphy family celebrate the bicentennial. Another could be a ten year time jump from the first episode so we see the Murphy kids navigating early adulthood. Last would be a twentyish years later. See Kevin now that he's Frank's age. See a mellowed out (or not) version of Frank and see how much he is (or isn't) like his father now that he's older. I'd love it if Maureen ended up becoming a pilot. It would blow Frank's mind that his princess ended up fulfilling his dream. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28700-f-is-for-family-general-discussion/#findComment-7142326

Cheezwiz December 31, 2021 Share December 31, 2021 Just finished the final season. Sorry to see it go. Despite the crass & often gross humour, it actually had heart & sweetness. I'll miss the characters. I can't actually believe it's been on for five seasons already (I know some of them were short), but I'm shocked at how time flies - I wasn't keeping track and thought it had only aired for two - three at most. I grew up in the 70's myself, so I loved all of the period details - they really nailed all of that stuff. Did anyone notice (sadly) how many dedications there were at the end of episodes? It looks like the actor who voiced Smokey the vending van driver passed away, along with a couple of show producers. Sad. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28700-f-is-for-family-general-discussion/#findComment-7202926
