Animal Control goes Animal House tonight at 9p on Fox! So be prepared to laugh until it hurts!
Frank (Joel McHale) and Shred (Michael Rowland) are assigned to a frat house because they have to get a cow out of their living room. You would think that Frank would be all into it, but he is mad at the college students for doing this again. However, their uptight rival, Fetterman (Gerry Dee), is all for partying with them because he is a legacy.
Now Shred is stuck in the middle, and he has other things going on. His long-distance girlfriend wants him to go visit her again, but he thinks she should come to him. So he asks Frank, who sucks at relationships, for advice. What could go wrong?
Then there are Amit (Ravi V. Patel) and Victoria (Grace Palmer), and they have to go to Church to save a raccoon from being saved. It is there that Amit learns something about his partner that he can’t handle. Even you will be shocked by what she tells him!
Finally, there is Emily, she asks them to write up their intention statements, and they didn’t do it. So she asks her predecessor Rick (Kevin Bigley), how she can get her employees to listen to her. Let’s just say they won’t mess with her again.
Since this is a sitcom, you know it is going to make you laugh. What you don’t know about it is that there is a lot of heart that comes with it too. They are a supportive family who looks out for one another. They might be dysfunctional. But what family isn’t?
So tune in for a show that will leave you feeling all warm and tingly inside, just like when you see a kitten or puppy. However, those animals are rarely on Animal Control. But they had rabbits. They were just psycho rabbits who tried to kill them. But it wasn’t the rabbits’ fault because they were on drugs! See, now you want to watch it!
The Resident has been a bubble show for most of its six-season run. However, their chances of getting another season from Fox are looking grim.
That is because Peachtree Battle Estate Sales & Liquidation in Atlanta listed this “Own a Piece of Hollywood! Major Network Medical Drama Prop & Wardrobe Liquidation” on their site. The pictures show a bunch of items from a warehouse with some boxes that have the label “The Resident” on them and another label in another photo that reads “Padma’s condo.” Padma is a character on the medical drama. Plus, the show films in Atlanta. Therefore, it sounds like the items belong to the series.
So, is it cancelled? A source told me, “No decision has yet been made one way or another.” So it looks like we are just going to have to wait until May to find out. And last year, Fox went all the way up until right before announcing their schedule to tell us the show was renewed for another season.
If you are interested in owning a part of the mystery medical show, then the sale is going live from March 22nd-March 25th.
Tonight at 9p on Fox, we find out that bunnies aren’t
always cute creatures. That is because the wascally wabbits mount an attack on the Animal Control officers, and Joel McHale will never feel the same way about Easter again.
You see, the sweet bunnies ate some special mushrooms and are now hungry for blood. So it is up to Frank (McHale), Shred (Michael Rowland), Amit (Ravi V. Patel), and Victoria (Grace Palmer) to show them who the boss is.
And Victoria shows their owner who the boss is when she confiscates all of his special mushrooms. She knows they could increase your sexual experience, so she wants them for herself. Unfortunately, someone takes them from the fridge, and now they have to find out who did it because they don’t know what they ate.
If that is not enough of a bad day for them all, Frank and Shaw must rescue a football from his beautiful 6′ albino python that has wrapped itself around his body.
And wait, there is more. Their boss, Emily (Vella Lovell), has to give a speech and is nervous about it. Can she get her confidence up before she has to deliver it?
All of that happens in one fun-filled episode.
But it isn’t only about the laughs; it is also about them becoming a work family who looks out for one another. Believe it or now, I actually love that part more than the animals, and I love love love animals.
Animal Control is the show this season needed! So it really does prove that good things come to those wait! So don’t wait to find out why I adore this series so much, so check it out tonight and every Thursday at 9p!
My cat wants me to tell you she hates this show because it has made me want to get a python of my own. What is the phone number for animal control?
And one more note: I wrote this like Palmer talks on the show. I love how she speaks.
Fox picked up Animal Control to series without asking them to shoot a pilot first, and there is a good reason why. The show is the funniest new sitcom of the year.
Tonight at 9p, you will meet Frank Shaw (Joel McHale), a grumpy animal control officer. He is a lone wolf who doesn’t like to work with anyone. But he has to. So he is given a new partner.
Shred (Michael Rowland) is a former champion snowboarder who decided to transition to animal control after injuring his knee. He is a ray of sunshine to Frank’s dark cloud, and his partner hates that, so he will torture him.
And during his first week, Shred screws up when he goes into a house to deal with a weasel on his own. What can go wrong? The weasel runs into the fireplace and comes out on fire. Therefore, the animal sets the living room on fire. On a positive note, at least he escaped when Frank entered the house.
There is another set of partners at the office. Amit (Ravi Patel) is a nice guy who is exhausted from being a dad to kids and animals. He works with Victoria (Grace Palmer), who is more like one of the boys than the boys. Amit and Victoria’s lives are complete opposites which is why they work so well together.
And then there is Emily (Vella Lovell). She is their boss. She is overly nice and fights so hard for her team. That is why they take advantage of her and get her to do what they want.
Together they make a great team who can take on any animal that comes their way, and there aren’t a lot of cats and dogs—something my cat did not like about the show.
Let’s get back to the animals. In the first three episodes, they take on hungry ostriches, bunnies on hallucinogenic mushrooms, and a kangaroo that can kick ass, or should I say nuts? And I can’t wait to see what other animals they have to bring back to base as the season goes on.
And as the season goes on, you will see this work family take care of each other. Shred will keep chipping away at Frank’s ice-cold exterior while Frank rains on his parade. Victoria will get Amit to loosen up, and he will make her more domesticated. And Emily will try to keep them all from getting fired for various reasons because her animal control is more like Animal House.
The show has a lot of heart, chemistry, laughs, and animals! Who doesn’t love animals? Probably the cast after having to work them. But since we don’t, we get to sit back and enjoy the show that is as warm and fuzzy as a bear in a hot tub.
You can watch Animal Control on Fox Thursdays at 9p or stream it on Hulu the day after it airs.
Fox announced today that it picked up The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers for two more seasons. That will bring their totals to 36, 23, and 15 seasons, respectively.
“With this trio of renewals, we celebrate excellence in animation on FOX, our wonderful, long-time partnership with 20th Television and the brilliant creators and incredible voices behind these forever favorites,” said Michael Thorn, President, Scripted Programming for FOX Entertainment. “Three-plus decades of The Simpsons, more than two decades of Family Guy and over a decade of Bob’s Burgers proves the enduring power of the animation genre on our network and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously funny comedy classics.”
The Simpsons’ renewal means it broke its own record of the longest-running scripted show. At this rate, the show will outlive its voice actors.
The three animated series join The Great North and Krapopolis in the 2023-2024 lineup.
