Two creators of Bob’s Burgers have made a new animated show The Great North with two new clips having been released. The show is being led by two writers and executive producers of Bob’s Burgers, Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, and a writer from Cartoon Network’s hit animated sitcom Regular Show, Minty Lewis. The Great North is FOX's newest animated sitcom and follows a family living in Alaska, led by single father Beef Tobin, who is voiced by Parks and Rec-alum Nick Offerman.
This new venture will follow the same animation style previously set up by Bob’s Burgers and will also revolve around a whacky, hysterically flawed family, delivering hilarious situations in the Alaskan tundra. With Offerman leading the cast as Beef, the show is already in experienced hands due to his voice work in Gravity Falls and in both The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part as MetalBeard. He will be joined by the honorable Jenny Slate (Big Mouth, Bob’s Burgers), Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth), Paul Rust (Love), Dulcé Sloan (@midnight with Chris Hardwick), and Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman).
Two new clips for The Great North were released for FOX’s animated programming block Animation Domination. The first clip follows Slate’s Judy, the daughter of Beef, as she tells her imaginary friend Alanis Morissette, played by Morissette herself, about her new job at the mall but worries how her dad will react if she’s not helping out the family business. The second clip involves the rest of the crazy family on Judy’s sixteenth birthday as a moose breaks into their house, gets wrapped up in her birthday balloons, having them spell out “SEXIN” in its antlers. Watch the two clips below:
The new family-driven show was announced earlier this year, and these videos help to depict a very familiar, dysfunctional family like is seen in most well-known sitcoms. Its two obvious departures from some of the most-watched animated sitcoms, like Bob's Burgers and F is for Family, is the noticeably absent mother and the show’s location. These facts are both brought up in the clips, reiterating reasons why audiences should consider viewing them. Audiences might not have been interested in watching a funny, punny story about a patriarch who is mourning the loss of his wife and who also happens to live in a desolate landscape with his three wild children, but now they might be.
With the built-in fanbases offered up by both Bob’s Burgers and Regular Show and an incredible voice cast, this adult cartoon already seems to be off to a great start before its release, even being renewed for a second season. It’s a clever, fresh idea for a sitcom, keeping the staples audiences have grown to love but adding some material to revitalize the overcrowding field of adult animation. The Great North releases on January 3.
