Cast: Bill Burr, Laura Dern, Justin Long
Number of seasons: 5
Set in the 70’s, this animated
comedy show focuses on Frank Murphy, a Korean War veteran, his wife Sue, and
their kids. Frank is a short-tempered man with a dead-end job at the airport.
Having had a complex relationship with his own father as a kid, he sees
fatherhood and family life as a massive pressure.
This series was inspired by Bill Burr’s comedy act. Burr co-created it, finding inspiration in his own relationship with his dad. F is for Family has a lot of strong, funny moments, and some touching ones. Father-son relationships offer great possibilities for humor and serious discussions. There were also some weaker episodes. Overall, I much prefer Burr’s stage act, as he is right now my favorite living stand-up comic. Some of the magic was lost in the animated series, but I was still entertained.
