I 100% would say it is underrated. When people talk about great animated shows, they think of Bob's Burgers, Archer, or my favorite of all time, BoJack Horseman. F is for Family is never mentioned, hence making it underrated. But I can see where you are coming from
I think a lot people don't like this show because they go in thinking it will be silly and wacky like Family Guy or The Simpsons, when it's actually more grounded and gritty in a way. Once you realize what kind of show it is, it's fantastic! I loved the finale
Felt like it was a cartoon version of a life action sitcom not silly like u seid I gave up on family guy and American dad so long ago. I love how this show is so not worried about insulting anyone it's such a nice change
Johnny, my take on F is for family is that is is not supposed to be sending messages, but rather is sharing a perspective on family life in the generation that is mostly responsible for our own. As someone who had an older dad (born in 51 and I was born in 92) I recognize alot of the behavior In the show as familiar to my fathers from his early life in the 50s-80s
I believe Burr has said that this is definitely some reflection on his father and family in the 70s. It also hits the nail on the head with an Irish Catholic family. The fifth season really explored father/son and I feel like Burr had experienced something with his dad recently
My mom was born in '79 and she says she can't watch the show because it reminds her too much of her own childhood in terms of the actions of the parent characters. In her own words "its a little too close to home"
I genuinely didn’t know it was the final season until the last episode last mins in I realised that and it’s a shame wanted to know why gombar is a weirdo
"It's a show about trying to mess up your kids a little less than your parents messed you up" Bill Burr actually says this exact thing in one of his netflix specials. He says it pretty much word for word. You can tell that Burr was incredibly hands on with this show, because his philosophy and his outlook on life just oozes out of it. It's one of the reasons I love it.
Bill's arc conclusion (Rossie getting pulled over) was SO uncomfortable to witness for all the right reasons. You could feel the emotion just by the look on his and Rossie's daguther's faces that entire sequence. I was honestly fearing for the worst
Rosie's daughter is named Nia, who is based on Bill's real life wife of the same name. This scene silently starts another one that we will probably never see based on their eventual relationship.
I just finished the series today and the way the music cut, you knew who the officer's were but couldn't see their faces, and you felt something terrible was going to happen to Rosie or even Nia. I liked that Bill realized the worst of policemen and their abuse of power, and it changed him. But the tension in that scene felt so real.
I just finished the season right before this video came out and I audibly said: “Wow that was a good season.” This season, in my opinion, did what many recent shows have not managed to do. Stick to it’s original premise, well and consistently at that. I started watching the show because Bill Burr's name was attached to it but now I’ve come to appreciate it as its own entity.
I felt so dumb that it took me near the end of this season to realise Bill is stand in for Bill Burr himself. When the very end of the show with Frank telling Bill he's funny but too bad you can't make a living off of that.
Yeah Michael Price mutiple times said VJ wasn't Kevin's, plus look at the kid, that the only way if that kid can be more like Vic's if he came out with sunglasses and a joint in hand
Frank's character development all the way up to the end of the series was great. I felt bad seeing Bill go from being a good sweet kid to a little bit more of a trouble maker. Vic was my favorite character
I thought Bill was gonna go off the deep end, but him witnessing the police pulling Rosie over, scaring his daughter Nia, and seeing how the cops abuse their power and it's terrifying reality made Bill rethink everything.
Wait, the series is finished!?!? I loved the show but I personally wasn't satisfied with the final epsodes. I remember telling myself "well time to wait another year"
@@Johnny2Cellos Personally I felt the box 16 thing could’ve been done better. I don’t think Frank was trying to learn life advice from his father, I thought he was trying to get closure on their relationship as they had just started to somewhat bond at the end of the last season. His fathers last words were about his funeral song? Just an awful way to wrap up their relationship, could’ve been something much more heartwarming.
I'm not satisfied with 8 being the last episode I really feel like Kevin was going to get his girlfriend prego with one of thos poke hole condoms and the call at the end was the father of his girlfriend or her saying she prego and I felt like the little black girl and Bill would have a story togeather like a none abusive girl friend
One thing I do like about Frank is how much effort he puts into overcoming the biases he has, especially when it comes to his kids. Everything about his kids shows how they deviate from the stereotypes of their gender. -Kevin and Bill despite being boys are very sensitive and if anything, are the ones who need way more emotional support then their sister. -Maureen also has more stereotypically male interests than female interests. She loves computers, math, and gore, and she wanted to wear a male Halloween costume which aren't things that you'd associate with a typical 10 year old girl. She's also not as sensitive as her brothers, with season 5 being the only time we see her be sensitive. And while that doesn't seem bad for us, Frank is a guy who was raised with very sexist and toxic masculinity values. Plus this in the 70's, and yet he doesn't insist that Maureen take up more girly interests, and he's not like Joseph who shamed his daughter for wanting an education. He could've given Maureen shit for being gifted but he didn't. As for Kevin and Bill, even though he's not super understanding of them he does try, not once does he tell them that "men aren't allowed to be soft" and that conversation with Kevin where they talk about their feelings? That's pretty progressive on Frank's part. We also don't ever see Frank be that way with Sue either. His issue with her getting a job wasn't that he thinks women should only be at home, his issue with it was him projecting his own insecurities onto her. Also we never see or hear him judging Sue for having gone to college.
well i mean i wouldnt say that frank doesnt tell his sons to not be "soft" bc he legit told bill several times smth along the lines of "were murphy men and we shove down our feelings" after bill would try to open up to him abt seeing a dude fucking explode. i think that while its rare that they get along, its easier for frank to talk to kevin about feelings because they're so similar and they express their feelings with anger a lot of the time like when kevin yelled at alice out of nowhere.
I would love if you also made a deep dive into Vic's character Arc The last 3 seasons really showed an interesting side of him. I especially love how ready and unregretful he was raising his baby the final season
I actually realy liked how disconeected the season 3 final was. Realy showed how much Bill went under the radar of his family and basicly got neglected by them. Might not be perfect from a "technical" point of view, but I think it was intentional and worked well
I really wish they made more seasons, I've enjoyed the show from the beginning, but the past 2 seasons (in my opinion) were fantastic, and the show was really meeting it's potential and I just don't want it to end so soon after it got really really good I hope in future videos you talk about Rosie and Pogo
I loved the whole background thing with Smokey, poking holes due to the holes in his Heart due to Larry being an Albino and given up. As well as the little details when it comes to the show, like the Firemen knowing the Murphy's phone number, Vick having an Addictive personality causing him to become obsessed with anything and everything he gets into, and how Win Win becomes a Crazy Bitch in Prison. Looking forward to your other Videos on the cast, need it.
F is for Family had a rough start, but honestly it grew to be one of the best shows on Netflix. I hope anyone who can, gives it a try. I also love how the resolution of Season 1 mirrors the resolution of season 5. It had a great run, and despite it being over, I'm glad I caught it.
I would LOVE more F is for Family content from this channel, especially going over the individual character relationships, even characters like Vic or Pogo, this show did such a good job at fleshing out fully formed side characters that are so interesting with how they relate to the Murphys
I love how there’s always stuff in the background that calls back to previous things, characters walking around and things you can blink and you’ll miss. Like seeing Smokey’s albino son (and also literally the Jeffery dahmer thing)
@@chloechilders6392 There is a character in the show named Jeffrey Dahmer. He's that annoying blond kid with tinted glasses that insults the Murphys occasionally. His dad is Officer Dahmer. He's not the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, but his name and appearance are based on him.
Anyone thought Frank just wanted his dads approval? Think about it he named his kid after him, if you really hated your parent you wouldn’t name your kid it would you? Unless he felt he had too but I don’t think Frank would be like that.
I think in the 4th season when the father is introduced big bill is touched that frank named a child after him. But frank tells him that it was Sue turn to pick a name .
Would love for adult swim to pick up F is for family just like they bought tuca and Bertie they should do the same for f is for family the show fits perfectly for adult swim
@@Johnny2Cellos Mike Price wanted the series to go on. Netflix told him it was the last season and they had to wrap it up. He talked about it on his twitter.
Dammit Johnny, now I have another show I have to watch. But seriously, this was great and I can't wait to see more. You had me sold on the show in the first half of the episode.
honestly i love this show so much!! i do really recommend if you’re up for a family show that you can’t watch with the family , you’ve found it!! i think it’s so funny and it actually made me laugh. i know you didn’t ask for my opinion but i just wanted to say that i’ve watched it since the beginning of season 1 and it always makes me so happy when another season drops, it reminds me of the show for the first time in a year. the jokes are definitely crude but if that’s for you, it’s for you. i’m also a massive johnny 2 cellos fan since the bojack videos and i find it super cool that he’s finally making videos on another one of my favourites shows!!!
It's great! It's got something for everyone. I had to stick it out for a little bit, Frank makes me feel tense sometimes, but I was glad I kept watching! Frank's not one of those elastic TV dads who snaps right back to being his same problematic self. He lives, he learns, he screws up and tries to make it right. It's a dang good show.
I just finished the entire series, I can't believe how underrated this show is. The characters have so many layers, the writing is hilarious. This show is a must watch
Johnny's analysis of cartoons is always really good. Im two episodes away from the finale and am enjoying it. Holy cow Goomer and his wife just keep proving to be creepier and creepier
F is for Family has been a favorite of mine and I think the way they ended the series is beautiful. Both Bojack Horseman and F is for Family were shows that really dug in to the grit of life with a good combination of wdf, funny, and heartful moments. Would love to see character videos for the characters. I especially want to see you cover Vic, that man has lots of talking points. Same with Goomer.
Just finished the series finale. When the phone rang I was like 'Just pick it up and hang it back up, Frank' But he did one better by taking it off the hook (been so long since I've dealt with those old phones I actually forgot about taking it off the hook lol) I'm so proud of how Frank has grown as a character. I really think he kept his promise to Sue, that he's not gonna screw up with Megan the way he has with Kevin, Bill and Maureen.
My only issue with this show is thats its over, this is definitely my go to comfort show and I think it could have expanded on things more, but honestly I can't deny that the last episode ended beautifully.
This is a wonderful show. It season doesn't tie everything into a perfect happy ending, but shows how life goes on and everything will be ok. It was nice seeing the healthiest version of the cast after seeing how dysfunctional the whole neighborhood was for practically the whole show
It’s very hard for me to decide which season of F is for family is truly the best because for me all five seasons were really great. Truly this show is more of a satire on the American dream and basically how a little fucked up life was in the 1970s in a funny way. Frank Murphy is one of the most captivating and most relatable character in the entire show because I heard that some people say that every time they watch Frank they see their own fathers in Frank. And I will admit Frank in a way does also remind me of my father. And when you really look at all this shit that he has been through it’s fair to say that he has a lot of reasons to be angry mean can you blame the guy. I mean his hopes and dreams got shattered, his father was such an abusive asshole, his whole worldview was shattered as well, getting punished after saving the airline, he saved that fat fuck Bob Pogos job which appears to be nothing more than sitting on his fat ass eating all day, and Bob stood by and allowed it to happen. And then when all of a sudden Bob realized that he made a mistake letting Frank go then all of a sudden he begs him to come back after Rosie hooked Frank up with a job. His children are a bunch of ungrateful screw ups. All and all Frank could just not catch a damn break in the show so I mean he has every right to be angry. Basically angry about the fact that he really believed in the American dream and come to find out that it was all just a bullshit illusion.
So happy to see such a well made and relatable show get some attention and analysis. There are so many cringy, near pointless, unfunny adult shows streaming now. But when I watched this show I felt not just joy and laughter, but a whole range of feelings.
I was tearing up, man I'll miss this show. The character development throughout the series was amazing. You can even notice Bill's attitude change in the intro.
ALSO I loved hearing my parents perspective on this show. My parents would have been a little younger than the Murphy children but their perspective on how this era was in regards to family and social standards is so interesting compared to the show, and I think that's where a lot of its appeal comes from
I couldn't agree more. The end of the series felt so triumphant. When he finally blew off the job that was always blowing him off and told his family that dinner with them was important, it made me feel proud of Frank. I look forward to more F is For Family content. My favorite character is Maureen. She's so chaotic!
i didn’t care for the ending tbh. it didn’t seem like an ending. just another end to another episode. kinda bummed out, i wanted more stuff to be wrapped up. like goomer, wtf was that guys deal?
You read my mind, I didn’t even know it was the finale until I came to this video! It just seemed like an episode ending. And I was really looking forward to more weird goomer content
The final scene was great, the finale itself left me hoping there’d be more. Probably cuss I didn’t look at the episode list ahead of time and still thought it was gonna be 10 episodes long like the last couple of seasons. Some aspects seemed a little rush. Like I think Sue’s brother both times was a little too quick to forgive her, and as u said, they did stuff with Maureen but her arc seemed incomplete. But as far as getting to that ending scene, I think all 5 seasons made it feel earned. I loved this show since season one and bummed to see it end. But I guess I rather see it end with me wanting more as opposed to it going on and on and me wanting it fo stop.
Thanks for talking about this show. I feel like it’s criminally unknown in the cartoon community. It helped me cope with my family since my dad is a lot like Frank and my mom is a lot like Sue (which makes sense cuz they grew up during those times). I would love to see a video about Sue, Rosie, and maybe Kevin? I don’t know if you could get a lot of material out of Kevin but he’s my favorite character :) OH! And maybe one on Nguyen Nguyen since I don’t see a lot of people talk about her Great show. I was worried about it being able to have a proper finale and I was glad it got to.
I really loved F is for Family because I know my parents were raised in a similar manner during the 70s. While I don’t always see eye to eye with my family, it’s gratifying to know that no family is perfect and we should learn from one another despite generational differences.
Nobody is talking about how important the end of Kevin’s story arc was. In a way it’s just the beginning. Him and Alice use one of the broken condoms. The scene right after where her father kicks him out, is very reminiscent of Sue’s father’s opinion of Frank. With the hint in there that she might get pregnant, the show ends with Frank’s cycle starting all over again, this time with Kevin at the front of it. There’s a reason they essentially made that the final scene of the show.
@@canover6730 He missed but it doesn’t mean it’s the last time he’ll see Alice again. Her dad and brother hates Kevin similarly to how Sue’s father and brother hated Frank so the cycle continues with Kevin but it probably won’t be as bad as it was with Frank since he’s trying to be a better father than Big Bill ever was.
I’m so glad you’re talking about this series! I think a big reason why a lot of people don’t talk about it is b/c it makes a lot of folks uncomfortable. I know that when I first saw it I kinda had to bear through the parts where Bill was just angry and abusive. I’m so glad I stuck through it, though! You’re spot on about it having heart
A truly underrated show, I feel like you summed up everything perfectly. Especially when you talked about how the last scene of the show tied into the first scene. It was a beautiful full circle moment, and I didn’t realize it until you brought it up. Looking forward to seeing the analysis on each character!
Oh dang I didn’t expect Johnny to be covering F is For Family, can’t wait to hear y’all talk about it on Cartoons that Curse! Also I love how season 5’s conflict with Frank trying to find meaning in life through his fathers last words, reminds me of Bojack Horseman episode, Free Churro and the ICU tangent he goes on during Bea’s Eulogy
Before I watch the video, I wanted to say I'm glad someone made a video on the Finale I feel like I'm the only one who kept up with this show and it felt nice to watch all the way through I'll ALSO say that it felt a bit abrupt. Didn't really have that "finale" conclusion feeling that gives me the warm feeling. It was a nice end to a story arc, however. I was in the middle on it but it didn't do anything wrong, so I'm alright with it.
This is a show I did NOT expect to love, but now I’m ultimately obsessed with it. It’s like Bojack Horseman, but if Bojack actually learned his lessons and reached some sort of positive growth after all he’d been through.
When I woke up this morning and binged the entirety of season five I immediately went on RUclips looking for a Johnny 2 Cellos video talking about any other aspect of the show. By the end of my workday I had been rewarded
The theory of Kevin being Vick’s baby’s real father was the FIRST thing I thought when I saw Vick holding a baby. I don’t think it really is Kevin’s but it’s a fun theory!
“Kevin gleans some great advice from this conversation (with his father) .... (Frank) realizes he can’t find meaning through his fathers experiences” I know it’s not exactly the same, but those two statements so close to each other seemed pretty funny to me
F is for Family is my favorite series of the Adult Netflix shows. It was a wholesome show with a family dynamic that was perfect. And for the first time in a long time, like King of the Hill before it, we got a father that wasn't stupid for jokes sake, Frank is a human being and like any human he isn't perfect. Hell look at Vick's story. That was some character development.
Season 5 was unsatisfying because we only got 8 episodes. I would have loved to see Bill rekindle his relationship with Bridget. There is a lot of stories about the Murphy children I hope will be explored. Maybe if Netflix made a F is for family special set in the mid 80's we can see Kevin, Bill and Maureen as young adults. Great video by the way...
I haven’t even watched the video yet and I’m so thankful for it. This show is so criminally underrated, and while it has its flaws it deserves so much more appreciation for its absolutely fantastic writing. In terms of realistically portrayed intergenerational trauma and family disfunction, I’d place it right around the likes of Bojack Horsemen, Moral Orel, and The Venture Bros.
At first, I was like “how could they end the show like that? It has to continue!” But after thinking more about it, I realized that that was a very fitting ending to Frank’s arc and how his family is improving and we can assume that they all can grow to be better too
I feel like they could’ve kept going the left some things that I wanted to see happen like leaving using the bad rubber at the end did his girlfriend get pregnant? And bill looks to have a lot left to build as a character. I loved this series sad to see it go 😐
The show ended perfectly IMO. I think episode six is my favorite just from watching the Murphys having some much needed family time at the bowling alley.
The characters felt real. Which out of any family show is actually rare. There wasn't drama for the sake of it. It was life crashing hard on the people in F is for Family which helps really drive. Of course the jokes and comedic timings help.
"Frank, you'll never guess what I just discovered about myself." "I'm finally free and I'm going back to my maiden nane. Goodbye, Ginny Throater. Welcome back, Ginny Deichfister." - Ginny secretly a lesbian married to a gay man Throater, nee Deichfister.
I loved the conclusion of the whole box 16 thing, no deeper meanings needed, unlike other corny shows that have dealt with the issue of death and grief
i love each of the neighbors in this series (goomer, vic, Bonfiglio's)!! even though id say these characters provided some of the best laughs, they had comedic but visible depth towards the murphy's and their own progressions. id love to see your take on this!
I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this but maureen annoyed me the most out of all the kids she was so jealous that Meghan was the princess.
I started watching the show because im a big fan of Bill Burr, but ended up staying because i fell in love with all the characters. Yall must understand that Bill Murphy lived in a society and time that discouraged men from expressing their emotions or feelings. Hence the only emotion he felt he had was anger. Add childhood trauma, fighting in the Vietnam war, missed dreams and opportunities, and providing for a family of 4 kids, and we had a really emotionally conflicted man. Its great to see him lose all those baggage and realize that above all else, family matters 🤗🤗
What I liked about that final scene is that it showed that Frank had finally changed for good. Throughout the series, Frank would go trough phases were he was happy and doing better, but as soon as something bad happened, he would fly off the handle and go back to his old ways. This final scene shows that he's learned to stick with his changes, instead of going into a rage, he hangs up the phone and focuses on his family. I'm so glad we got to see this permanent change in Frank
I really wish Maurine got a better ending. In the first two seasons they demonstrated her breaking gender norms and being interested in computers and being an astronaut. They also hinted at her being gay *a lot.* I absolutely loved when she started hanging out with Bridgett in Season 4 I thought they made a great team, and with the witchcraft going on in early season 5 I thought she and Bridgett would start going out. Unfortunately they back peddled and made her arc only about being overlooked. The rest of the show was fantastic, the fact that that is my biggest gripe says a lot.
Was anyone else kinda hoping for an small little epilogue scene showing bill older and having his life be similar to bill burr’s? I mean they share the same name, they’re both ginger, burr voices frank, and I remember hearing that the family in the show is based off burr’s own family so I thought it would’ve been a perfect choice to show bill all grown up like that.
This has been one of my favorite shows in a long time. I like that even though Sue and especially Frank, get so preoccupied or angry that it affects the kids, they still care about them and love them. Frank didn’t know how to handle each of his children, and at first discouraged their behavior. But as time went on he grew, and started accepting how they were. A lot of adult cartoons with a stubborn angry father take the route of having him be a complete asshole to his family for comedic purpose, (family guy, modern simpsons, American dad) but Frank has genuine love for his wife and children, even if he sometimes doesn’t know how to show it. When he fucks up he feels regret and does what he can to make it right. He realizes that he can’t let the way his father treated him growing up be how he treats his own family. He’s a man that isn’t the best at showing his emotions, but he tries to do better.
This series would have you going from laughing at the absurd situations to having uncomfortable scenes that hit too close to home. Started it out of nothing else to watch, then became very hooked 2 seasons in.
At first i really wasnt into this show, but if you stick with it through the first 2 seasons the characters and their story lines will win you over. Season 3 to the end of 5 makes this show well worth watching.
i feel like they left too much open, it was a good ending, but it left me wanting more, in a bad way, like you said Maureens story wasnt really finished, keveins story wasnt finished, he used a smokey condom! And im dissapointewd that you didnt bring up Vics interaction with Phillips brother, "No i dont know what, but id really like to know"! Great video though, this is probably one of my favorite shows ever, i connect with it a lot, frank and i pretty much had the same relationship with our fathers and the season 4 finale had me in TEARS
I came to watch this because I expected more from this season. Maybe it’s not so big comedy-wise but more focused on the characters. Now I’ve gotta say, the payoff for the running jimmy fitzimmons joke was a work of art.

@@MASTEROFEVIL welcome to parents of the 70s
Bill's arc conclusion (Rossie getting pulled over) was SO uncomfortable to witness for all the right reasons. You could feel the emotion just by the look on his and Rossie's daguther's faces that entire sequence. I was honestly fearing for the worst
Rosie's daughter is named Nia, who is based on Bill's real life wife of the same name. This scene silently starts another one that we will probably never see based on their eventual relationship.
Right? It was so sad, god I felt awful after that scene.
I just finished the series today and the way the music cut, you knew who the officer's were but couldn't see their faces, and you felt something terrible was going to happen to Rosie or even Nia. I liked that Bill realized the worst of policemen and their abuse of power, and it changed him. But the tension in that scene felt so real.
Im glad there's wasn't a joke forced it. Or unnecessary violence. It just showed not told.
Shit even Bill's face say a lot too, at that point you can tell he doesn't want to be a cop anymore
I just finished the season right before this video came out and I audibly said: “Wow that was a good season.” This season, in my opinion, did what many recent shows have not managed to do. Stick to it’s original premise, well and consistently at that. I started watching the show because Bill Burr's name was attached to it but now I’ve come to appreciate it as its own entity.

I've watched a few episodes but I don't get the humour or a feel for the characters. Could you recommend a good starter episode to get me hooked?
@@bangitybangbabang just hang in there, this is similar to Bojack Horseman where the earliest episodes are by far the weakest.
@@bangitybangbabang I know it's not what you want to hear but if you can power through the first few episodes you'll be fine imo. Good luck!
I felt so dumb that it took me near the end of this season to realise Bill is stand in for Bill Burr himself. When the very end of the show with Frank telling Bill he's funny but too bad you can't make a living off of that.
I was watching the second or third season when I realized the redhead kid named Bill is Bill
I believe that the Kevin being Vic’s son’s father theory was disproven by one of the show’s creators, but don’t quote me on that
Haha good to know! I’ll look into it
@@Johnny2Cellos Great video btw, I’m really happy to see more attention being brought to this show
Yes it was. In TV Tropes on the YMMV page, there is a link that directs to that tweet where they disprove it.
Yeah Michael Price mutiple times said VJ wasn't Kevin's, plus look at the kid, that the only way if that kid can be more like Vic's if he came out with sunglasses and a joint in hand
@@nickrustyson8124 and a dragon on his shirt
I love how Kevin was a screw up but still matured in the end
Frank's character development all the way up to the end of the series was great. I felt bad seeing Bill go from being a good sweet kid to a little bit more of a trouble maker.
Vic was my favorite character
Bill kept getting shitted on from every corner and had no safe space to breathe.
I thought Bill was gonna go off the deep end, but him witnessing the police pulling Rosie over, scaring his daughter Nia, and seeing how the cops abuse their power and it's terrifying reality made Bill rethink everything.
I loved Bill's arc though, although he was overcompensating, he managed to find a place for himself with Jimmy and Phil.
Okay but Vic’s ending made me so happy. I’m so happy he’s happy, clean, and finally found a purpose in his life ♥️
He won’t feel alone ever again 😁
I wish we could've seen how all the kids grow up in the end. I'd love to see what kinda careers they'd have.
I half expect them to do a spin off in a year or two about that.
@@Dragonmaster0118 I think that's a definite possibility.
I feel like Bill is gonna be a comedian 🥴🥴🥴
Same
in my mind Kevin became a rock star 😂
I would love for this Show to have a sequel in the 90s and early 2000s showing the Murphy kids all grown up.
Yes make it so I want to see that
I would so watch that
I think we know what happened to Billy, at least...
@@grimsoncrow What?
@@alinaliebe2092 He started doing standup comedy and became filthy rich telling shit jokes 😄
Wait, the series is finished!?!? I loved the show but I personally wasn't satisfied with the final epsodes. I remember telling myself "well time to wait another year"
It’s literally a perfect bookend, 1st scene parallels last scene
I had the same feeling, sad it will never continue
@@Johnny2Cellos Personally I felt the box 16 thing could’ve been done better. I don’t think Frank was trying to learn life advice from his father, I thought he was trying to get closure on their relationship as they had just started to somewhat bond at the end of the last season. His fathers last words were about his funeral song? Just an awful way to wrap up their relationship, could’ve been something much more heartwarming.
I'm not satisfied with 8 being the last episode I really feel like Kevin was going to get his girlfriend prego with one of thos poke hole condoms and the call at the end was the father of his girlfriend or her saying she prego and I felt like the little black girl and Bill would have a story togeather like a none abusive girl friend
just think they could have pumped out 1 or 2 more seasons
One thing I do like about Frank is how much effort he puts into overcoming the biases he has, especially when it comes to his kids.
Everything about his kids shows how they deviate from the stereotypes of their gender.
-Kevin and Bill despite being boys are very sensitive and if anything, are the ones who need way more emotional support then their sister.
-Maureen also has more stereotypically male interests than female interests. She loves computers, math, and gore, and she wanted to wear a male Halloween costume which aren't things that you'd associate with a typical 10 year old girl. She's also not as sensitive as her brothers, with season 5 being the only time we see her be sensitive.
And while that doesn't seem bad for us, Frank is a guy who was raised with very sexist and toxic masculinity values. Plus this in the 70's, and yet he doesn't insist that Maureen take up more girly interests, and he's not like Joseph who shamed his daughter for wanting an education. He could've given Maureen shit for being gifted but he didn't.
As for Kevin and Bill, even though he's not super understanding of them he does try, not once does he tell them that "men aren't allowed to be soft" and that conversation with Kevin where they talk about their feelings? That's pretty progressive on Frank's part.
We also don't ever see Frank be that way with Sue either. His issue with her getting a job wasn't that he thinks women should only be at home, his issue with it was him projecting his own insecurities onto her. Also we never see or hear him judging Sue for having gone to college.
@@darkman764 I am
I wish netflix didn't cancel Bojack Horseman
@Spin the block because it was just a show about a guy being depressed over and over again. Who wants to just be sad watching a show?
well i mean i wouldnt say that frank doesnt tell his sons to not be "soft" bc he legit told bill several times smth along the lines of "were murphy men and we shove down our feelings" after bill would try to open up to him abt seeing a dude fucking explode. i think that while its rare that they get along, its easier for frank to talk to kevin about feelings because they're so similar and they express their feelings with anger a lot of the time like when kevin yelled at alice out of nowhere.
@@moneygrabber6720 Says a lot about you if youre sad the whole time while watching Bojack Horseman
I would love if you also made a deep dive into Vic's character Arc
The last 3 seasons really showed an interesting side of him. I especially love how ready and unregretful he was raising his baby the final season
I actually realy liked how disconeected the season 3 final was. Realy showed how much Bill went under the radar of his family and basicly got neglected by them.
Might not be perfect from a "technical" point of view, but I think it was intentional and worked well
The season 3 finale is my favorite, even though the season itself wasn’t
I really wish they made more seasons, I've enjoyed the show from the beginning, but the past 2 seasons (in my opinion) were fantastic, and the show was really meeting it's potential and I just don't want it to end so soon after it got really really good
I hope in future videos you talk about Rosie and Pogo
Too many people died.
Maybe they could've replaced the voice acting but idk. Maybe it's for the best. Ending on a high note and such.
I loved the whole background thing with Smokey, poking holes due to the holes in his Heart due to Larry being an Albino and given up. As well as the little details when it comes to the show, like the Firemen knowing the Murphy's phone number, Vick having an Addictive personality causing him to become obsessed with anything and everything he gets into, and how Win Win becomes a Crazy Bitch in Prison. Looking forward to your other Videos on the cast, need it.
F is for Family had a rough start, but honestly it grew to be one of the best shows on Netflix. I hope anyone who can, gives it a try. I also love how the resolution of Season 1 mirrors the resolution of season 5. It had a great run, and despite it being over, I'm glad I caught it.
One of my friends worked on this as a cleanup artist! It was thrilling seeing her name in the credits! It's one of her first big projects!
Dope
I would LOVE more F is for Family content from this channel, especially going over the individual character relationships, even characters like Vic or Pogo, this show did such a good job at fleshing out fully formed side characters that are so interesting with how they relate to the Murphys
I love how there’s always stuff in the background that calls back to previous things, characters walking around and things you can blink and you’ll miss. Like seeing Smokey’s albino son (and also literally the Jeffery dahmer thing)
wait what jeffery dahmer thing?
@@chloechilders6392 There is a character in the show named Jeffrey Dahmer. He's that annoying blond kid with tinted glasses that insults the Murphys occasionally. His dad is Officer Dahmer. He's not the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, but his name and appearance are based on him.
Or how Jimmy Fitzsimmons became a popular fake name in that city
@@chloechilders6392 Y’know that blonde kid in the glasses always harassing the family? He’s alluded to be Jeffery dahmer
I didn't know this was the finale, now I'm really sad

At least it ended being a good show, instead of dragging on

@@Jakedman21 lets go bowling
Anyone thought Frank just wanted his dads approval? Think about it he named his kid after him, if you really hated your parent you wouldn’t name your kid it would you? Unless he felt he had too but I don’t think Frank would be like that.
I think in the 4th season when the father is introduced big bill is touched that frank named a child after him. But frank tells him that it was Sue turn to pick a name .
@@Arcenia_18 even so if true you have to agree and if my partner said name my kid after my dad I wouldn’t allow it
@@ge0rgialiv I do. Especially if I had a shitty dad like Bill lol
@@Arcenia_18 why ?

Ditto
Would love for adult swim to pick up F is for family just like they bought tuca and Bertie they should do the same for f is for family the show fits perfectly for adult swim
I don’t think they have any intention of making more, they were able to tell a complete story
@@Johnny2Cellos Mike Price wanted the series to go on. Netflix told him it was the last season and they had to wrap it up. He talked about it on his twitter.
Dammit Johnny, now I have another show I have to watch.
But seriously, this was great and I can't wait to see more. You had me sold on the show in the first half of the episode.
honestly i love this show so much!! i do really recommend if you’re up for a family show that you can’t watch with the family , you’ve found it!! i think it’s so funny and it actually made me laugh. i know you didn’t ask for my opinion but i just wanted to say that i’ve watched it since the beginning of season 1 and it always makes me so happy when another season drops, it reminds me of the show for the first time in a year. the jokes are definitely crude but if that’s for you, it’s for you.
i’m also a massive johnny 2 cellos fan since the bojack videos and i find it super cool that he’s finally making videos on another one of my favourites shows!!!
It's great! It's got something for everyone. I had to stick it out for a little bit, Frank makes me feel tense sometimes, but I was glad I kept watching! Frank's not one of those elastic TV dads who snaps right back to being his same problematic self. He lives, he learns, he screws up and tries to make it right.
It's a dang good show.
I just finished the entire series, I can't believe how underrated this show is. The characters have so many layers, the writing is hilarious. This show is a must watch
"Yesterday is the past"
"Tomorrow is a mystery"
"Today is a gift"
Be always happy and cheerful, because you are always the best
Frank and Kevins conversation at the bowling alley might be my favorite scene in the series
Johnny's analysis of cartoons is always really good. Im two episodes away from the finale and am enjoying it. Holy cow Goomer and his wife just keep proving to be creepier and creepier
F is for Family has been a favorite of mine and I think the way they ended the series is beautiful. Both Bojack Horseman and F is for Family were shows that really dug in to the grit of life with a good combination of wdf, funny, and heartful moments. Would love to see character videos for the characters. I especially want to see you cover Vic, that man has lots of talking points. Same with Goomer.
Just finished the series finale. When the phone rang I was like 'Just pick it up and hang it back up, Frank' But he did one better by taking it off the hook (been so long since I've dealt with those old phones I actually forgot about taking it off the hook lol)
I'm so proud of how Frank has grown as a character. I really think he kept his promise to Sue, that he's not gonna screw up with Megan the way he has with Kevin, Bill and Maureen.
My only issue with this show is thats its over, this is definitely my go to comfort show and I think it could have expanded on things more, but honestly I can't deny that the last episode ended beautifully.
This is a wonderful show. It season doesn't tie everything into a perfect happy ending, but shows how life goes on and everything will be ok. It was nice seeing the healthiest version of the cast after seeing how dysfunctional the whole neighborhood was for practically the whole show
It’s very hard for me to decide which season of F is for family is truly the best because for me all five seasons were really great. Truly this show is more of a satire on the American dream and basically how a little fucked up life was in the 1970s in a funny way. Frank Murphy is one of the most captivating and most relatable character in the entire show because I heard that some people say that every time they watch Frank they see their own fathers in Frank. And I will admit Frank in a way does also remind me of my father. And when you really look at all this shit that he has been through it’s fair to say that he has a lot of reasons to be angry mean can you blame the guy. I mean his hopes and dreams got shattered, his father was such an abusive asshole, his whole worldview was shattered as well, getting punished after saving the airline, he saved that fat fuck Bob Pogos job which appears to be nothing more than sitting on his fat ass eating all day, and Bob stood by and allowed it to happen. And then when all of a sudden Bob realized that he made a mistake letting Frank go then all of a sudden he begs him to come back after Rosie hooked Frank up with a job. His children are a bunch of ungrateful screw ups. All and all Frank could just not catch a damn break in the show so I mean he has every right to be angry. Basically angry about the fact that he really believed in the American dream and come to find out that it was all just a bullshit illusion.
So happy to see such a well made and relatable show get some attention and analysis. There are so many cringy, near pointless, unfunny adult shows streaming now. But when I watched this show I felt not just joy and laughter, but a whole range of feelings.
I was tearing up, man I'll miss this show. The character development throughout the series was amazing. You can even notice Bill's attitude change in the intro.
ALSO I loved hearing my parents perspective on this show. My parents would have been a little younger than the Murphy children but their perspective on how this era was in regards to family and social standards is so interesting compared to the show, and I think that's where a lot of its appeal comes from
Honestly I really liked it, and even tho I prefer happy endings I get that there going for something more open ended and realistic
I love the ending to Kevin implying he made the same mistakes of his dad, he "missed" with the one its implied
What a great observation omg 😂😂
I couldn't agree more. The end of the series felt so triumphant. When he finally blew off the job that was always blowing him off and told his family that dinner with them was important, it made me feel proud of Frank. I look forward to more F is For Family content. My favorite character is Maureen. She's so chaotic!
i didn’t care for the ending tbh. it didn’t seem like an ending. just another end to another episode. kinda bummed out, i wanted more stuff to be wrapped up. like goomer, wtf was that guys deal?
You read my mind, I didn’t even know it was the finale until I came to this video! It just seemed like an episode ending. And I was really looking forward to more weird goomer content
The final scene was great, the finale itself left me hoping there’d be more. Probably cuss I didn’t look at the episode list ahead of time and still thought it was gonna be 10 episodes long like the last couple of seasons. Some aspects seemed a little rush. Like I think Sue’s brother both times was a little too quick to forgive her, and as u said, they did stuff with Maureen but her arc seemed incomplete. But as far as getting to that ending scene, I think all 5 seasons made it feel earned. I loved this show since season one and bummed to see it end. But I guess I rather see it end with me wanting more as opposed to it going on and on and me wanting it fo stop.
Thanks for talking about this show. I feel like it’s criminally unknown in the cartoon community. It helped me cope with my family since my dad is a lot like Frank and my mom is a lot like Sue (which makes sense cuz they grew up during those times).
I would love to see a video about Sue, Rosie, and maybe Kevin? I don’t know if you could get a lot of material out of Kevin but he’s my favorite character :) OH! And maybe one on Nguyen Nguyen since I don’t see a lot of people talk about her
Great show. I was worried about it being able to have a proper finale and I was glad it got to.
I really loved F is for Family because I know my parents were raised in a similar manner during the 70s. While I don’t always see eye to eye with my family, it’s gratifying to know that no family is perfect and we should learn from one another despite generational differences.
Nobody is talking about how important the end of Kevin’s story arc was. In a way it’s just the beginning. Him and Alice use one of the broken condoms. The scene right after where her father kicks him out, is very reminiscent of Sue’s father’s opinion of Frank. With the hint in there that she might get pregnant, the show ends with Frank’s cycle starting all over again, this time with Kevin at the front of it. There’s a reason they essentially made that the final scene of the show.
Most of people missed that part. Kevin says he scared and messed jizz(sperm) after he fall from window.
@@canover6730 He missed but it doesn’t mean it’s the last time he’ll see Alice again. Her dad and brother hates Kevin similarly to how Sue’s father and brother hated Frank so the cycle continues with Kevin but it probably won’t be as bad as it was with Frank since he’s trying to be a better father than Big Bill ever was.
F is for family is one of my favorite shows and I would love for you to do a deep dive into the characters. 😍😁 That final season felt complete
Unlike BoJack's last season. That last season felt extremely rushed. It feels like two seasons mashed together.
I’m so glad you’re talking about this series! I think a big reason why a lot of people don’t talk about it is b/c it makes a lot of folks uncomfortable. I know that when I first saw it I kinda had to bear through the parts where Bill was just angry and abusive. I’m so glad I stuck through it, though! You’re spot on about it having heart
A truly underrated show, I feel like you summed up everything perfectly. Especially when you talked about how the last scene of the show tied into the first scene. It was a beautiful full circle moment, and I didn’t realize it until you brought it up. Looking forward to seeing the analysis on each character!
Oh dang I didn’t expect Johnny to be covering F is For Family, can’t wait to hear y’all talk about it on Cartoons that Curse!
Also I love how season 5’s conflict with Frank trying to find meaning in life through his fathers last words, reminds me of Bojack Horseman episode, Free Churro and the ICU tangent he goes on during Bea’s Eulogy
Before I watch the video, I wanted to say I'm glad someone made a video on the Finale
I feel like I'm the only one who kept up with this show and it felt nice to watch all the way through
I'll ALSO say that it felt a bit abrupt. Didn't really have that "finale" conclusion feeling that gives me the warm feeling.
It was a nice end to a story arc, however.
I was in the middle on it but it didn't do anything wrong, so I'm alright with it.
This is a show I did NOT expect to love, but now I’m ultimately obsessed with it. It’s like Bojack Horseman, but if Bojack actually learned his lessons and reached some sort of positive growth after all he’d been through.
I love this show, kinda struggled with the Franks Dad storyline.. but the show pulled through
When I woke up this morning and binged the entirety of season five I immediately went on RUclips looking for a Johnny 2 Cellos video talking about any other aspect of the show. By the end of my workday I had been rewarded
The theory of Kevin being Vick’s baby’s real father was the FIRST thing I thought when I saw Vick holding a baby. I don’t think it really is Kevin’s but it’s a fun theory!
“Kevin gleans some great advice from this conversation (with his father) .... (Frank) realizes he can’t find meaning through his fathers experiences” I know it’s not exactly the same, but those two statements so close to each other seemed pretty funny to me
F is for Family is my favorite series of the Adult Netflix shows. It was a wholesome show with a family dynamic that was perfect. And for the first time in a long time, like King of the Hill before it, we got a father that wasn't stupid for jokes sake, Frank is a human being and like any human he isn't perfect. Hell look at Vick's story. That was some character development.
Season 5 was unsatisfying because we only got 8 episodes. I would have loved to see Bill rekindle his relationship with Bridget. There is a lot of stories about the Murphy children I hope will be explored. Maybe if Netflix made a F is for family special set in the mid 80's we can see Kevin, Bill and Maureen as young adults. Great video by the way...
I was surprised how truly sad I was when the show ended.
I haven’t even watched the video yet and I’m so thankful for it. This show is so criminally underrated, and while it has its flaws it deserves so much more appreciation for its absolutely fantastic writing. In terms of realistically portrayed intergenerational trauma and family disfunction, I’d place it right around the likes of Bojack Horsemen, Moral Orel, and The Venture Bros.
"My name is Jimmy Fitzsimmons" was my favourite gag
In my opinion, I rank F is for family along with King Of The Hill. It’s so perfect.
For me, this show improved every season. It is nice that it could develop into what it became and finished on its own terms.
At first, I was like “how could they end the show like that? It has to continue!” But after thinking more about it, I realized that that was a very fitting ending to Frank’s arc and how his family is improving and we can assume that they all can grow to be better too
I feel like they could’ve kept going the left some things that I wanted to see happen like leaving using the bad rubber at the end did his girlfriend get pregnant? And bill looks to have a lot left to build as a character. I loved this series sad to see it go 😐
The show ended perfectly IMO. I think episode six is my favorite just from watching the Murphys having some much needed family time at the bowling alley.
“You know you fine. If I were a biscuit and you were gravy, I’d sop ya” was a legendary line from season 5 😂
I found the show by accident and fell in LOVE with it. I'm not a fan of Bill Burrs comedy but he killed it in this show
Very excited to hear more content from this show is coming! It’ll help fill the space since the show is over now
The characters felt real. Which out of any family show is actually rare. There wasn't drama for the sake of it. It was life crashing hard on the people in F is for Family which helps really drive. Of course the jokes and comedic timings help.
"Frank, you'll never guess what I just discovered about myself."

They were each other's beards the whole time.
she could just be bi seeing how she flirted with a bunch of guys in the show
I loved the conclusion of the whole box 16 thing, no deeper meanings needed, unlike other corny shows that have dealt with the issue of death and grief
i love each of the neighbors in this series (goomer, vic, Bonfiglio's)!! even though id say these characters provided some of the best laughs, they had comedic but visible depth towards the murphy's and their own progressions. id love to see your take on this!
It's so nice seeing people talk about this show
The ending did feel a bit abrupt to me, especially because I expected 10 episodes
I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this but maureen annoyed me the most out of all the kids she was so jealous that Meghan was the princess.
I loved the parallel to the first episode vs last scene.ugh ♡
You know what that is?
Growth
I was just telling people how fantastic this final season was! I’m happy they took their time with it it definitely shows
I started watching the show because im a big fan of Bill Burr, but ended up staying because i fell in love with all the characters. Yall must understand that Bill Murphy lived in a society and time that discouraged men from expressing their emotions or feelings. Hence the only emotion he felt he had was anger. Add childhood trauma, fighting in the Vietnam war, missed dreams and opportunities, and providing for a family of 4 kids, and we had a really emotionally conflicted man. Its great to see him lose all those baggage and realize that above all else, family matters 🤗🤗
This show was so well done. I would love to see more.
What I liked about that final scene is that it showed that Frank had finally changed for good. Throughout the series, Frank would go trough phases were he was happy and doing better, but as soon as something bad happened, he would fly off the handle and go back to his old ways. This final scene shows that he's learned to stick with his changes, instead of going into a rage, he hangs up the phone and focuses on his family. I'm so glad we got to see this permanent change in Frank
I would love to see your character analysis of Frank Sue and Bill!!!
Frank Murphy reminds me a little of al Bundy from married with children
Anything more on this series is always welcome. Fantastic show and a spot on analysis!
I really wish Maurine got a better ending. In the first two seasons they demonstrated her breaking gender norms and being interested in computers and being an astronaut. They also hinted at her being gay *a lot.* I absolutely loved when she started hanging out with Bridgett in Season 4 I thought they made a great team, and with the witchcraft going on in early season 5 I thought she and Bridgett would start going out. Unfortunately they back peddled and made her arc only about being overlooked. The rest of the show was fantastic, the fact that that is my biggest gripe says a lot.
when did they hint at her being gay?
Was anyone else kinda hoping for an small little epilogue scene showing bill older and having his life be similar to bill burr’s? I mean they share the same name, they’re both ginger, burr voices frank, and I remember hearing that the family in the show is based off burr’s own family so I thought it would’ve been a perfect choice to show bill all grown up like that.
This has been one of my favorite shows in a long time. I like that even though Sue and especially Frank, get so preoccupied or angry that it affects the kids, they still care about them and love them. Frank didn’t know how to handle each of his children, and at first discouraged their behavior. But as time went on he grew, and started accepting how they were. A lot of adult cartoons with a stubborn angry father take the route of having him be a complete asshole to his family for comedic purpose, (family guy, modern simpsons, American dad) but Frank has genuine love for his wife and children, even if he sometimes doesn’t know how to show it. When he fucks up he feels regret and does what he can to make it right. He realizes that he can’t let the way his father treated him growing up be how he treats his own family. He’s a man that isn’t the best at showing his emotions, but he tries to do better.
This series would have you going from laughing at the absurd situations to having uncomfortable scenes that hit too close to home. Started it out of nothing else to watch, then became very hooked 2 seasons in.
Just that ending was so perfect. It truly gave me joy this holiday season
More f is for family content
At first i really wasnt into this show, but if you stick with it through the first 2 seasons the characters and their story lines will win you over.
Season 3 to the end of 5 makes this show well worth watching.
i feel like they left too much open, it was a good ending, but it left me wanting more, in a bad way, like you said Maureens story wasnt really finished, keveins story wasnt finished, he used a smokey condom! And im dissapointewd that you didnt bring up Vics interaction with Phillips brother, "No i dont know what, but id really like to know"!
Great video though, this is probably one of my favorite shows ever, i connect with it a lot, frank and i pretty much had the same relationship with our fathers and the season 4 finale had me in TEARS
He was about to use one of Smokey's condoms but he got kicked out of Alice's house before he could use it
I came to watch this because I expected more from this season. Maybe it’s not so big comedy-wise but more focused on the characters. Now I’ve gotta say, the payoff for the running jimmy fitzimmons joke was a work of art.
It would be cool to see an episode that breaks down the story archs of the minor characters.
