Two seasons in, TheGreatNorth on FOX has proven a worthy, underrated heir to BobsBurgers
was a show where one of the greatest threats to its longevity would theoretically be the novelty of its premise, about a large family of cheerful folks living in rural Alaska, effectively sequestered from most of the “modern world.” It’s a setting rife with inherent comedy, but no show can rely on setting too strongly for those purposes—you can only satirize “Alaskan wilderness living” as a gag for so long.
That’s indicative of the sort of protective wall of sunshine that seems to surround the town of Lone Moose in, leaving anxiety and trauma largely on the outside. One might expect the trials and travails of the commercial fishing business, for instance, to loom over Beef Tobin in the same sense that Bob Belcher’s perpetually floundering finances and business prospects form an important part of the psyche of, but two seasons in the fishing business has rarely ever been relevant to the plot.
tends to make its mark via a wry, whimsical spirit of absurdity, with a gentleness that suggests an optimism for the human condition, even when the jokes sometimes veer toward the macabre. A prime example might be the festival in first season episode “Feast of Not People Adventure,” which establishes a running gag about a jar full of human teeth, the contents of which will be won by whoever guesses exactly how many teeth are present.
Of course, having written this, FOX will likely respond by canceling the show, while simultaneously and vindictively extendingfor a 21st season. With that in mind, tell me that rural Alaska doesn’t feel fresh in comparison.airs Sunday nights on FOX, and can be streamed on Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+For all the latest TV news, reviews, lists and features, follow
