Bordertown There’s a new kid in Fox’s Sunday night animation lineup. And he speaks with an accent. “Bordertown” premiered this week on Fox. The show focuses on two families in the fictional town of Mexifornia: the Gonzalezes and the Gonzalez’ neighbors - and the patriarch of that family is Bud Buckwald, a border patrol agent. Hijinx, of course, ensues. The show is doofy and goofy, but it also pokes fun at complicated topics like assimilation and the foundering middle class.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
