WGA negotiating committee co-chair Chris Keyser issued a clarion call to members and supporters earlier today.
“When you walk in circles in front of every studio in town,” he tells the guild’s members in the clip (watch it below), “you are carrying with you a cause that is larger than just us and this business, though just us and this business would have been enough. We are marching for labor, and labor is watching us.”
Not long after, Keyser put those ideas into action, taking to the picket lines outside Disney alongside writer Will Landman and, according to Landman, a very nice Bradley Whitford.
Did a couple hours at Disney this morning to close out the week! Went to tell Chris Keyser I loved his update video and didn’t realize he was chatting with @BradleyWhitford – who is just the nicest! Great way to close out another week on the picket!

Photo: ‘F is for Family’ Introduction ‘F is for Family’, created by Michael Price and Bill Burr, is underrated. The series, which first aired in 2015, was unfairly labeled by many as a “ ‘Family Guy’ knock-off” due to its use of profanity and for some of its character designs. While the series may have been unfairly judged upon release, ‘F is for Family’ proved to be a humorous and even profound portrayal of American life throughout its five-season run. The series follows the dysfunctional Murphy family in the nineteen seventies. Now, after almost six years, ‘F is for Family’ is coming to end with forty-four episodes under its belt. In its last season, the series nicely wraps up its storylines and themes, satisfying both fans and newcomers.

In giving us a taste as to what we can expect in the upcoming final season of Netflix’s animated series, “F is for Family,” showrunner Michael Price explains that the show is going to pick up exactly where it left off at the end of season four. “This last season will take place largely during the course of the end of 1974; the end of October through Christmas. Our final episode is set on Christmas Day,” he explains in our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video above). Frank (voiced by Bill Burr) will continue dealing with the relationship with his father (Jonathan Banks) as he’s also going through becoming a father again with the arrival of his fourth child. Sue (Laura Dern) will also have to deal with her family along with the appearance of her estranged gay brother, who’s only been talked about up to this point.

Vince Vaughn is attached to executive produce an animated comedy series in the works at Fox, Variety has learned exclusively.
Fox has given Vaughn, Victoria Vaughn, and Peter Billingsly’s Wild West Picture Show production company a blind script deal for an animated series. No writer is currently attached, but Fox Entertainment will produce. Vince, Victoria, and Billingsly will all executive produce.
Should the project go to series, it would be the second animated series that Wild West Picture Show has produced. The company is also behind the Netflix animated series “F Is for Family.” That show, which was created by Bill Burr and Michael Price, follows an Irish-American family in the 1970s. The fourth season was released on Netflix back in June. Vaughn also guest starred in the show in its third season.
In addition to his work as a producer, Vaughn is primarily known for his work onscreen.

CBS All Access’ “Why Women Kill” set its first-season action in three distinct time periods: the 1960s, 1980s and present-day, promising a titular payoff in each time period by the end of the season. In the finale, titled “Kill Me as If It Were the Last Time,” creator and showrunner Marc Cherry crafted an intricate slow-motion montage that weaved the pivotal deaths together across timelines. While the Pasadena mansion had previously been the only character that carried over from storyline to storyline, this montage saw all the central characters sharing the same space. Although it was staged like a play, it was not done entirely in one shot; director David Warren covered individual pieces and performers in closeup, with their period-accurate set dressing behind them. The sequence includes a tango, a tussle on the staircase and a fistfight that turns into a gun showdown — and, of course, the answers to...

Despite a proliferation of “timely” TV these days, no one would be so bold as to bestow “F Is For Family” with the popular descriptor. Created by Michael Price and Bill Burr — the latter of whom also voices the lead character, Frank Murphy — Netflix’s adult, animated sitcom follows a lower-middle class family struggling to make the best of it in 1970s America. The Murphys are white, racism and misogyny run rampant in their daily lives, and most of the ongoing story circles around Frank, a member of middle-management at a failing airline and father of three, going on four, children.
Frank alternates between a lifelong Rodney Dangerfield bit (“Why can’t I get no respect?!”) and answering his own question through bad, embarrassing behavior. But “F Is For Family” doesn’t glorify any of Frank’s antics; it ruthlessly examines his tortured growth. Its satire is pointed directly at its central figure,...

Netflix‘s dominance of the streaming market looks set to continue in June, with the platform bringing back a number of series for summer runs. Using the tracking app TV Time, Business Insider can look at audience data to identify what the most anticipated returning shows are and perhaps unsurprisingly, Netflix has the top five nailed down, including new seasons for German-language hit Dark, F is for Family, The Politician, The Order and 13 Reasons Why.
In order of popularity, season 4 of animated series F is for Family is the fifth most-anticipated, having built a solid audience for its 1970s-set comedy. Bill Burr and Michael Price created this one, which includes voice performances by Burr, Laura Dern, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell and more great actors. We were big fans of the show when it first debuted on Netflix, so it’s good to see that it’s continued to be a success.

Netflix’s favorite foul-mouthed family has returned with the new trailer for Season 4 of “F Is for Family.” The series, created by Bill Burr and Michael Price, has set up the arrival of a new bundle of joy for the Murphy’s and the arrival of Frank’s father William “Big Bill” Murphy (voiced by Jonathan Banks.)
As the first trailer shows, family patriarch Frank Murphy, voiced by Burr himself, is “still alive” and struggling not just with the new baby and the return of a father he hates. He also has to navigate three children in various states of becoming their own people. Oldest son Kevin (voiced by Justin Long) finds himself drawn to a girl with similar tastes as him; and youngest children Bill (voiced by Haley Reinhart) and Maureen (voiced by Debi Derryberry) find themselves trying to garner attention with the men in their lives.

F is for Family Season 4 is coming soon to Netflix.
The animated sitcom, set in the U.S. suburbs in the 1970s, brandishes adult-themes that render it not quite fit for primetime network television. Yet, its driving force has been its central character, irascible family man and Korean War veteran, Frank Murphy, a La-z-Boy-riding bell-bottom-era bygone generational mouthpiece for the PC-pulverizing rants of comedian Bill Burr; a character who could be described as an animated amalgam of Archie Bunker and Al Bundy.
Burr co-created F is for Family with Michael Price, a writer and co-executive producer on Fox’s The Simpsons and Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles and Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales. Along with the creative duo, the show’s array of executive producers consists of Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, Katie O’Connell, Elisa Todd Ellis, Sidonie Dumas and Christophe Riandee.

The Simpsons, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, got a tribute to its longevity by taking the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program for the episode “Mad About The Toy” at the Creative Arts Emmys tonight. It’s the show’s 11th win in the category, expanding its record haul and widening the gap with the rest of the field. The animated series with the second most wins is South Park with 5.
The Simpsons proved its mettle against a much-ballyhooed episode of Bojack Horseman, “Free Churro,” in which BoJack, voiced by Will Arnett, delivers a bizarre, rambling eulogy for his mother that lasts the entire episode. Arnett had joked several times at near the beginning of the telecast that BoJack would surely be walking away with an Emmy.
The other competitors were Bob’s Burgers, Big Mouth, and Come Along With Me, the series finale of Adventure Time. The Simpsons’ win...

“The Simpsons” has won the 2019 Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program. It marks the eleventh win in this category for the Fox comedy.
Created by Matt Groening, “The Simpsons” is the all-time record holder in the category for nominations and wins. It has 27 nominations — 10 more than “South Park,” which is second on the list — and this year’s win gives it more than double the Comedy Central series, which has five total wins.

Dog movies almost always want to make you cry. The ones that just want to make you smile are few and far between. That’s usually the case with pet centric flicks, which is good for emotion, but sometimes rough for animal lovers like yours truly. It’s nice on occasion to not go into a film with a canine companion and have to fret about an impending death. Luckily, one look at Patrick, the new dog centric comedy, and your heart will melt without ever reducing you to tears. It’s far from perfect, but it’s more than cute enough to be worthy of a recommendation. The movie is a comedy about how a dog ends up leading a young woman to happiness. At the beginning, Sarah Francis (Beattie Edmondson) has a life that could charitably be called an absolute mess. After the death of her grandmother, for...

There’s no denying that “Patrick” is absolutely adorable. When a story revolves around a four-legged furry friend — a squishy, huggable pug, at that — that much is to be expected. However, what makes director Mandie Fletcher’s canine-centered romantic comedy work is its ability to engage in between the oh-so-cute closeups of the bug-eyed pup. Though the narrative tends to be a touch too simplistic for most grown-ups, and lacks enough riotous dog action for the little ones, there’s enough bite to make things worthwhile for those who just want to enjoy a sweet, wholesome dog movie.
Sarah’s (Beattie Edmondson) life is in shambles. Her boyfriend has just left her stranded in a new apartment without knowing a soul in the neighborhood. Her entire family thinks she’s turning into a spinster since all her romantic relationships end in woe. She’s depressed and questioning what love has in store for her.

Netflix has ordered a fourth season of animated comedy "F Is for Family."
The series was created by Bill Burr and Michael Price and follows the Murphy family, an Irish-American clan living in the 1970’s, a time when political correctness was the last thing on people’s minds. Burr voices family patriarch Frank, while Laura Dern, Justin Long, Debi Derryberry, Haley Reinhart, and Sam Rockwell also provide voices on the series. The third season launched on Netflix in November.
Burr also executive produces along with Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley and Price, who also serves as showrunner.

Even though we’re a little over a week away from Thanksgiving, Bill Burr’s Frank Murphy is ready for summer in the third season trailer for his animated Netflix comedy “F is for Family.”
Oh, and there’s a whole bunch of F-bombs. A lot of them.
Netflix released the third season trailer for its Burr-voiced “F is for Family” on Wednesday, which debuts on Friday, Nov. 30. In the video, which you can watch above, Frank gets new neighbors, Sue (Laura Dern) has a new (terrible) invention, while Kevin (Justin Long) makes sure his dad knows he’s not a “D minus son” (It’s a D-plus!).

The New York Knicks aren't exactly good again, but they have reclaimed some of their old swagger – and it's all thanks to Kristaps Porzingis.
With the rookie sensation dunking on fools and hitting 3-pointers like he's the second coming of Stephen Curry, the revitalized Knicks look like they can remain in contention for a playoff spot in the East. And as such, they've managed to avoid becoming a punch line – not just in the NBA, but in popular culture as well. That's what the Philadelphia 76ers are for.

The Writers Guild of America has just announced the nominations for their annual awards for Best Screenplays (by writers who are guild signatories). That’s right, before you get nervous thinking that your favorite may have been left off the list, you must remember that the WGA is the group that is not all-inclusive and leaves out several of the top contenders each year due to them not being part of the guild or not following their very specific rules. For this reason, you won’t see Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Ex Machina in the Original Screenplay category or Room, Brooklyn, or Anomalisa in the Adapted screenplay category.
Taking a look at what’s left over for the nominations, we find many that were expected to make a showing, including Spotlight and Bridge of Spies for Original Screenplay, though they apparently had to sink to really low depths...

It's not a knock on Netflix's "F is for Family" to say that its title sequence is far and away the best thing about it. The animated comedy, set in an unnamed Rust Belt city in 1973 where Frank Murphy (Bill Burr, who co-created the show with "Simpsons" vet Michael Price) works in the baggage handling department of a local airline, has a pretty dazzling one that tells you everything you need to know about its hero — his backstory, his frustration, and the main themes of the story — in a brisk 45 seconds. We start with Frank as a teenager graduating high school in the early '50s. As the opening chords of Redbone's 1973 hit "Come and Get Your Love" plays, Frank tosses aside his graduation robes and literally flies into the air, an entire world of possibility ahead of him. Suddenly, a draft notice smacks him in the face and his...

Netflix’s first foray into adult-oriented animated comedy, the bizarre and touching Hollywood satire BoJack Horseman, only really came into its own earlier this year, during a vastly improved (and much darker) second season. Progressing from clever amusement to excellent character study, the show somehow succeeded in at once being one of television’s most rawly hilarious comedies, and one of its most poignant, occasionally soul-crushing dramas. Its brilliance has not yet been fully observed by the masses but, with a third season on the way, there’s still time for more people to catch on.
Now, with something like BoJack in its programming stable, Netflix set the bar exceedingly high for future animated originals, and it’s admittedly tough to watch F Is For Family, created by stand-up comedian Bill Burr alongside Simpsons writer Michael Price, without comparing the two. But luckily for the streaming service,...
