If you're a fan of Bill Burr and his style of comedy, you're gonna love this trailer for his upcoming animated Netflix series, F Is For Family. One of the things I enjoy about Burr's comedy is that he doesn't hold back or skirt around things like racism, sexism, or anything politically incorrect. I think he's best described as a charming asshole, and I'm looking forward to seeing this new series of his.
Burr created the series with The Simpsons writer Michael Price, and it's being produced by Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley. It also has an awesome voice cast that includes Laura Dern as Burr's wife Sue, Justin Long as his oldest son Kevin, and Sam Rockwell as a character named Victor. Here's what Burr says about the series:

Wall Street's lackluster response to Netflix's Q3 2014 earnings isn't hurting the online premium subscription video on-demand service's originals game. The company just announced a deal for the all new animated series F Is For Family, based on the comedy of Bill Burr. Created by Burr and Emmy-winner Michael Price (The Simpsons), F Is For Family will follow the story of the Murphy family in the changing era of the 1970s. Burr will voice Frank Murphy, Laura Dern will play his wife Sue, and Justin Long will take on the role of their oldest son, Kevin. The six-part series will be produced by Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Television and Gaumont International Television, the latter of which has already seen two of its other series developed for Netflix: the horror-based Hemlock Grove and the upcoming drama Narcos (starring one Oberyn Martell). “[F Is For Family is] the show I've always wanted to do," said Burr to The Hollywood Reporter.

Netflix is getting its groove on, placing a six-episode order for F Is For Family, a half-hour animated series set in the ’70s.
Created by comedian Bill Burr and Simpsons scribe Michael Price, the project follows the Murphy family in the 1970’s, a time when you could smack your kid, smoke inside and bring a gun to the airport.
Burr will voice the role of Frank Murphy, the family’s extreme patriarch; Laura Dern will voice Frank’s wife Sue; and Justin Long voices the family’s oldest son, Kevin.
Burr and Price serve as EPs alongside Vince Vaughn and Peter Billingsley.

Time for the results for the third group of 12 from the Top 48 on "America's Got Talent." The acts through so far are the dancing Scott Brothers, father/daughter singing act Shanice/Maurice Hayes, performance artists David Garibaldi and His CMYKs, dancer Turf, comedian Tom Cotter and singer Tim Hockenberry.
The first group brought down is Rock Star Juggler Mike Price, comedian Jacob Williams and balancing performer Cristin Sandu -- Jacob Williams is the one who advances.
The next group is dance group Light Wire Theater, show choir Inspire the Fire and drag queen All Beef Patty. Light Wire should have this in the bag -- and then they do, Light Wire Theater advances.
The third group is dance troupe The Untouchables, singer Jake Wesley Rogers and dancer Elusive. Seems like it could be Jake or the Untouchables. But going through is The Untouchables. Good for them.
The final group comes...

It's elimination time. After watching the third group of 12 acts from the top 48 give it all they've got on the America's Got Talent stage in hopes of moving forward with the competition, we finally got to see who America voted for. Let's not waste any more time, shall we? The first group of contenders brought to the stage is juggler Mike Price, nerdy comedian Jacob Williams and balancing performer Cristin Sandu. Out of these three, Williams will advance in the competiton. Nerds rule! Next, it was between Lightwire Theater, who got a standing ovation on last night's show, drag queen All Beef Patty and show choir Inspire the Fire. Last night's performance and the judges'...

12 acts. 90 seconds. 1 chance. Which acts proved to be 'Toxic" on stage — and which ones hit their sweet spot? On the July 17 episode, as with every telecast, America’s Got Talent plastered "Go Big, or Go Home" across the screen, but who really brought the "chills and the thrills and the spills?" (Thank you, Howard Stern) On a night that mattered most, the 12 acts that took the stage caught fire but quickly fizzled. The buzz and talent was there, but most failed to live up to their full potential. The Untouchables: This group of saucy dancers range from 8 years old and up, and they can dance like that? Crisp moves, smooth delivery, and passion tucked away in their glittery Tinker Bell-inspired costumes are sure to be enough to send America into a fury of speed voting. (Or maybe just me.)
