    FOX continues down it's path of disguising political propaganda as cartoons with this newest abortion of a TV show.I guess if you have a third world political agenda you need to push, putting it in cartoons is a good idea. Since no one with a brain watches cartoons. Sadly, being propaganda isn't even close to the worst thing about this show.Every joke that isn't about whites being stupid and racist is about pop culture. They don't even attempt to write real jokes. Even worse, it's extremely unoriginal. In the first five minutes of the second episode there were at least ten things they stole from other shows. This show is terrible and should never be seen by anyone.

    The animated family sitcom has become a staple of cable television ever since the Simpsons found worldwide acclaim in the 90's. Its become the "Superhero movie" of TV: an over saturated genre with all too many duds. Bordertown, despite its clear political inspirations, is not one of those duds.All the characters you know from previous shows are here. The bumbling everyman dad, the stay at home mother, the overweight daughter, and the young child that seems too aware of whats happening around them for their age. The concepts are nothing new, but you'll be surprised how many of the jokes stick. The comedy ranges from juvenile humor to quick, intelligent quips that will go over your head if you aren't paying attention. If you do, you'll be rewarded with what is in my opinion some of the smartest animated comedy in years.Lets address the elephant in the room; Yes, it is very clear that this show is capitalizing off of the current political climate in the United States. This would certainly bother me a lot more if the virtues and shortcomings of both the left and right were not properly represented, but they are. You never get the sense that the writers lean one way or another, they simply recognize the faults in the system at both ends. It's refreshing to see this bipartisan approach when so much media in the past few years has had an obvious political agenda.No, it isn't perfect, but it's very much worth your time if you've found yourself looking for a smart show disguised as a cookie cutter dumb animated sitcom.

    Horribly unfunny. I am not looking to have political views shoved down my throat I can think for myself. I just want simple comedy and this is not it at all. This show has its an agenda. If you want more close minded, one sided politics and non stop disrespect of America I recommend this show. If you want to laugh go far from border town.

    I'm not quite sure why everybody on here is giving crap to Seth McFarlane. Seth does not make, write, direct, animate or have anything to do with this show. Unlike most of the reviews left for Bordertown, I think it is highly entertaining, very funny, and easily one of the better shows to air as of recently. Maybe it's just me but Bordertown and F is for Family are hilarious. Maybe instead of bashing McFarlane you all should check and see who actually wrote the show. This show has shown a strong and very funny start and I'm excited to see what they will do next. Bordertown is unique from other "Adult Animations" and I see having a good long run. I'm very interested in the show only three episodes in. Looking forward to more. 9/10.
