F Is for Family (among other words) in NSFW trailer for the Netflix original series

By Stephanie Topacio Long November 17, 2015

Don’t expect “family” to be the only F-word being thrown around in the new trailer for F Is for Family. As we can see in the preview, released on November 16 by Netflix, the Bill Burr animated comedy is neither G-rated nor politically correct.

The upcoming series is set in 1973 and follows the dysfunctional Murphy family. Burr co-creates the series with Simpsons writer Michael Price, so naturally, it will be more raunchy than heart-warming, and the latest trailer certainly proves this to be the case. With the series appearing on Netflix rather than a traditional TV network, it’s clear the show’s writers were given more leeway in terms of language and content.

As we’ve seen in every look at the series so far, the ’70s was a very different time. The new trailer kicks off with the youngest Murphy son, Bill (voiced by Haley Reinhart), watching TV as an ad promotes White House Draft beer (“the one draft you won’t want to dodge”), a brew that’s recommended for drinking and driving — at least in this cartoon world. Obviously patriarch Frank (Burr) subscribes to this notion, given that we later see him asking Bill to take the wheel while he cracks open a can.

Gender roles are another area of difference. Sue (Laura Dern), Bill’s wife, takes issue when he refers to her job as “her little hobby” and defends her daughter when he tells her that “girl astronauts” are just as mythical as vampires. His parenting tactics are also questionable, and when his wife makes suggestions for improvement in this area he goes off on a tangent about naked hippies.

Burr executive produces the series alongside actor Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, and Wild West Television’s Michael Lagnese and Victoria Vaughn.

The entire six-episode first season of F Is for Family will be available on Netflix on December 18.

Why The Last Ronin could be the best TMNT movie ever made

The Last Ronin wields the weapons of his fallen brothers.

Four decades ago, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird unleashed their independent comic book series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and took the industry by storm. Eastman and Laird’s Mirage Studios pulled off a feat that few other comic book companies in the 1980s were able to match. The success of the comic allowed the TMNT to cross over into an animated series in 1987, which only made the Turtles more popular. Toy lines, action figures, video games, and all manner of merchandise followed before Turtlemania reached its high point in 1990 with the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

In a way, it’s been all downhill from there. The Turtles’ popularity has waxed and waned over the last 40 years, but they’ve never quite recaptured the frenzy of Turtlemania. Even the most recent animated movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, managed to earn only $180.5 million worldwide. Mutant Mayhem received good reviews, but those aren’t the kind of numbers that scream box office hit.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this April, stream this one

An imagined underwater alien civilization in Aliens of the Deep.

It would be understandable if Disney+ subscribers feel a little jealous of Hulu in April. That's because the new additions to Hulu include The Big Lebowski, The Fifth Element, Hellboy, Ocean's 11, Jumanji: The Next Level, and even Wonder Woman. The only major Disney+ movie to debut in April was Wish. For families with kids or animation lovers, Wish might be enough. But when picking the one movie to watch on Disney+ in April, we decided to dive a little deeper into the streaming catalog. That's how we settled on our choice for the one Disney+ movie that you have to watch this month: Aliens of the Deep.

Between the premiere of Titanic in 1997 and Avatar in 2009, director James Cameron threw himself into the realm of underwater exploration and directed or co-directed two documentary films. Cameron's first documentary, Ghosts of the Abyss, is not on Disney+. But Aliens of the Deep has a permanent home here. This movie was originally an IMAX release and it was filmed in IMAX 3D. The streaming experience may not be able to replicate that, but Aliens of the Deep is still visually dazzling even in 2D. And now, we'll share the three reasons why you should watch Aliens of the Deep this month.
It's one of James Cameron's passion projects

Everything you need to know about Umbrella Academy season 4

The cast of The Umbrella Academy stands together in the main room of the family mansion.

More than a year ago, Netflix announced that its superhero series The Umbrella Academy would be returning for a fourth and final season. It's one of the best shows on Netflix, and has been consistently inventive throughout its run on the streaming service. The show first premiered in 2019, and is adapted from a comic book series of the same name. Season 3 ended on a pretty suspenseful cliffhanger, so fans of the show were undoubtedly pleased with the news that the show would be back for one more rodeo.

If you're looking forward to the show's fourth and final season, you're not alone. Here's everything we know about the upcoming season, including who will be returning, how many episodes i will have and when it's coming out.
