    This is not a good show. Honestly I did have a few short lived smirks during the first episode. However its far more depressing than it is funny. The dad is a sad mean man whose wife is far smarter than him and deserves better but puts up with it. Why? Maybe they will explain it but who cares? Bill Burr's take on the classic family of America in the 70's reminds me more of what's wrongThis is not a good show. Honestly I did have a few short lived smirks during the first episode.

Bill Burr's take on the classic family of America in the 70's reminds me more of what's wrong with America and the American dream than anything else. Not that that kind of thing doesn't have its place, but its place is not in a cartoon comedy. F is for Family seems to think we should laugh about how **** life was for some people and how they just accepted it. If you love comedic cartoons like I do and you want to laugh and not be sad then just don't watch this. The best thing about this show is Sam Rockwell and he should not have participated in this travesty. I don't… Expand

    I am a big fan of Bill Burr and Sam Rockwell. I really did not find this show funny. The swearing is over the top, a bit redundant. The themes are actually boring. I noticed that this show did get a lot of positive reviews. I'm sure it will be picked up but I will not be watching.

    With per-episode running times of 25 minutes or longer (around four minutes more than a standard network animated show), there are some pacing issues and general fuzziness here and there. But for the most part, it's a neat little series with potential to be a whole lot more.

    After six episodes, much has changed and the focal points indicate a knowledge of the deeper impact Frank has on his family. The first season even sets up beautifully for a fascinating and much-needed role reversal in Season 2, but the overall tone leaves much to be desired. Primarily, it's not very funny.

    Frank’s screeds will be familiar to anyone who has caught Burr’s superior stand-up act, but something gets lost when bringing that voice and sensibility over to a scripted, animated format. F Is for Family spends too much time working itself up to a full boil--which arrives only in the last episode-and-a-half.
