FOX Gives New Animated Comedy Bordertown 13-Episode Order

FOX has given animated comedy Bordertown a 13-episode order for next season. The series, created by Mark Hentemann and executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, takes place in a town near the Mexican border and tells the story of two neighbors a border patrol agent and an industrious immigrant. Once their paths begin to cross, their families develop a bond built on friendship, romance, and conflict. Presumably, Bordertown will be getting the post-Family Guy slot come fall 2014, as the show was given its series order with plenty of time to prepare for a fall launch and American Dad is moving to TBS at the end of the season. FOX may still opt to try a new multi-cam on the night at some point, possibly also during the fall in order to take advantage of the football bump, but a lineup of The Simpsons, Bob s Burgers, Family Guy, and Bordertown will occur sometime next season. The network had a new non-MacFarlane animated comedy this season in Murder Police, but it was canceled before it
