There is a lot of Honeymooners/All In the Family hate around this...and that is fine, I completely understand that. But, I really don't see the "All in The Family" vibe save for the fact it's set in the '70s and has a Honeymooners vibe with the father. Either way, it starts off kind of slow and dull, but in a way that allowed me to think "OK, I'll give it a chance," and from there it builds in a way that most adult cartoons do not, that is it builds in more of a cartoon sit-com drama than a straight episodic comedy. The story lines have a clear arc that you hardly ever get in animated shows like this, and it builds on the arc while remaining darkly amusing. And it kind of sneaks up on you, it goes from dull because you are expecting Family Guy or the Simpsons...to compelling because F is for Family is actually trying to tell a story and not just be another cartoon. You find yourself bored, then hooked on story arcs and the compelling and identifiable characters. If you hate it, I think you hate it because you were expecting a straight animated comedy, and if you love it, I think it's because you found it dramatic and compelling with the humor coming from the characters. They really did a great job on this, it's not the cartoon you'd expect and the pay off is there in spades. It's worth a shot and you'll come to love it.
