CULTURES CLASH ON THE SERIES PREMIERE OF NEW ANIMATED SATIRE "BORDERTOWN" SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, ON FOX

A satirical look at the cultural shifts taking place in America, the animated series explores family, politics and everything in between. The comedy centers on two very different families, the Buckwalds and the Gonzalezes living in a fictional Southwest desert town on the U.S. - Mexico border. Bud Buckwald, a married father of three and a Border Patrol agent, is just a tad behind the times and feels slightly threatened by the cultural changes transforming his neighborhood. He lives next door to Ernest Gonzalez, an ambitious family man, who has been in the country less than 10 years, but is already doing better than Bud - which, it turns out, is a bit of an issue for Bud. In the series opener Bud is enraged when he finds out that his daughter Becky is engaged to J.C., Ernesto's nephew who just graduated from college. Meanwhile, a staunch anti-immigration law is passed which eventually leads to J.C.'s deportation, much to Bud's delight in the "The Engagement" series premiere episode of BORDERTOWN airing Sunday, Jan. 3 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (BOR-101) (TV-14 D, L, S, V)

Voice Cast: Hank Azaria as Bud Buckwald, Alex Borstein as Janice & Becky Buckwald, Judah Friedlander as Sanford Buckwald, Nicholas Gonzalez as Ernesto Gonzalez and J.C. and Missi Pyle as Gert Buckwald
