That was all the info the online TV guide gave for this new show. Didn't even realize it was cartoon until I switched channels to take a look.
WARNING! Never tune in unless you are prepared to witness some of the most outrageous dialogue and scenes (un)imaginable!
It makes Family Guy seem like A Charlie Brown Christmas in comparison.

looks absolutely dreadful to me...
..but what do I know, my favorite tv programs are Sanford & Sons and Archie Bunker reruns.
The Anglo daughter wants to marry the Hispanic son for two reasons. One is to upset her father. The other is so he can put a baby in her that will enable her to go protest for the right to abort it. Let's just say that she made that statement very crudely.
The authorities haul off the Hispanic father, who has lived his entire life legally in the US, and deport him immediately by loading him into a huge circus cannon and shooting him about five miles across the border.
You really don't want to know what the deformed (supposedly the result of inbreeding) boy from across the street tries to give the Anglo girl when he tries to get a date with her. It is most definitely not funny.
eeek...
like I said, absolutely dreadful.
I've realized that with seven hundred and something cable channels pouring data out 24/7 there is a need for new and more material. It probably doesn't take much "artistic ability" to get something produced and splashed up on one of the channels.
I guess I'm just a fundamentalist when it comes to wasting time and brain cells watching tv. I watched the infamous "Aunt Bea's Pickles" episode just the other day....and enjoyed it.
Somehow my pea-picking little brain remembered for about 55 years what the judges had to say about her pickles.

Kerosene!
Really enjoyed both shows back-to-back. The Christmas episode where the old geezer was doing everything he could to be put in jail on Christmas Eve was great, too.
Many years ago (c.1990) there was another series named "Bordertown". That one was a western set on the US/Canadian border. The outdoor scenes were filmed near Maple Ridge, B.C. During a break in production we surveyed the boundary of the parcel it was on. Somewhere I've got some Polaroids of myself on the main street of the town set.
