Zorn

So Son of Zorn rolls out tonight, and the question ...



... does it fly or does it end up in the curbside trash like the giant bird? ...remains to be asked. . Of course it's part of Fox's Sunday lineup. ...

It might not be everyone's cup of java, but The Guardian in the U.K. give is a thumbs up:

Does it work? Yes, because Son of Zorn actually isn’t that weird. Well, it is, but aside from the fact that Zorn is a cartoon character, this is a traditional fish-out-of-water sitcom. Anyone who watched Green Acres, Perfect Strangers or The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will recognize what works about pulling someone from one very specific culture and asking him to fit into another. It just happens that Zorn’s culture is ripped out of a bad 1980s cartoon. When Zorn’s new boss asks him if he has a shirt, he responds: “Does a Griffion herdsman have nine anuses?” Now, we have no idea what this herdsman is or why he is so prodigious in the colorectal arena, but we know it’s a solid joke and it’s made even funnier by the absurdity of it. ...

Actually, I don't know why somebody didn't think of this before. (Maybe somebody did, except they didn't have the clout that Phil Lord and Chris Miller have.)

It should fit nicely with the other animated half-hours Fox offers on a Sunday night.

Well it at first peak my interest but then the HeMan look-a-like killed that big bird, it turned me off. Reminds me more of the crappy Family Guy style. :(
