Having premiered on FOX alongside mainstays like The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers, freshman series Bless The Harts is the latest adult animated show to grace the airwaves. Is it worth watching?

Bless The Harts is an animated sitcom from the mind of Emily Spivey. Spivey is a dynamite voice in comedy and is well known for her writing chops on shows like Up All Night and Saturday Night Live. She most recently co-wrote and co-starred in Netflix’s Wine Country with Amy Poehler. Loosely based on her childhood growing up in North Carolina, Bless The Harts is the first animated series of Spivey’s.

Featuring a stacked lineup of voice talent from the likes of Maya Rudolph (who starred in Spivey’s Up All Night), Kristin Wiig, Jillian Bell, Ike Barinholtz, and Kumail Nanjiani, Bless The Harts has all the makings of an instant hit. Rudolph, Wiig, and Bell are the titular Harts, a multi-generational family struggling to make ends meet.

In the pilot, we find the Harts in quite a pickle. The water bill needs paying and unless Jenny (Wiig) can come up with some cash quick, the Harts are going to be without running water for some time. Another expense that Jenny has to find a solution for is for a storage unit she had no idea her mother, Betty (Rudolph) has been renting to store retro toys that she hopes to flip one day.

Bless The Harts features lovable, down-on-their-luck characters and the voices of some of the biggest names in comedy. Who knows what adventures and hijinks the family will get into over the course of the series’ 13-episode first season? What we do know is that the animated comedy shares a universe with the classic sitcom King of the Hill, which Spivey wrote for back in the early 2000s.
