Seth MacFarlane’s ‘Bordertown’ Joins FOX Networks

Date:

Seth MacFarlane lands a new animated comedy at Fox.

Bordertown is expected to join Family Guy as American Dad moves to TBS next season.

Fox is currently expanding their relationship with the Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane. The network recently announced that it has ordered to series Bordertown, a new animated comedy from the creator.

Bordertown hails from MacFarlane and Family Guyproducer Mark Hentemannand will debut during the 2014-15 season. The comedy takes place in a fictional desert town in Texas and centers on Bud Buckwald — a married father of three who serves as a border patrol agent who isn’t adjusting well to the cultural changes around him. It takes a satirical look at America’s cultural shifts through the evolving relationships between Bud’s family and that of his next-door neighbor Ernesto Gonzales, a Mexican immigrant and father of four (THR).

But, Seth MacFarlane may not be as popular as he once was. The recent pick up of Bordertown comes after The Cleveland Show was canceled and American Dad moves to another network and the new multicamera scripted series Dads, was not very well liked among critics and received low ratings.

Family Guy, still brings in a large audience. The cartoon drives the network’s youngest viewers to at 9 p.m. on Sundays, where it is averaging a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 against NBC’s Sunday Night Football and growing to a 3.4 rating in live-plus-7 returns.

Bordertown also comes as the network said an early farewell to Murder Police, which had been given a 13-episode order at the network but was canceled before its premiere. Producers 20th Century Fox Television plan to shop the series to cable.
