Fugget About It is an adult animated sitcom created by Nicholas Tabarrok and Willem Wennekers for Teletoon's late night block, Teletoon at Night. The show is rated 14A for sexuality, violence, and profanity. The show was created from the Pilot Project contest on Teletoon. The show premiered in the United States, exclusively on Hulu on October 13, 2013.[1][2]
On June 9, 2014, it was announced that a third season of the show had been ordered.[3] It was revealed at Fan Expo Canada 2015 that the third season would air in November on Adult Swim (Canada).[4]
Plot
The series follows a New York City Mafia capo (Jimmy Falcone) who moves to Regina, Saskatchewan to join the Witness Protection Program because he kills his mob boss.[5][6] While pleading for his uncle Cheech's life, Don Gambini made it clear to Jimmy that he had no choice but to kill his uncle, then after making a sexual innuendo about Jimmy's oldest daughter Theresa which ultimately leads to Don Gambini's death by being thrown out of the 19th floor window. Following Gambini’s death, the rest of the Gambini mob attempts to murder Jimmy in retaliation, not caring if his family gets killed in the process. With no other options left, Jimmy cuts a deal with the FBI to protect his family. They agree to place him and his family in Witness Protection if Jimmy testifies against his fellow mobsters. This results in Jimmy and his family moving to Regina and living a new life under new names.[5]
Cast
- James Danger "Jimmy" Falcone (MacDougall) voiced by Tony Nappo - The man who rats out his former mob members to the FBI and has his family relocated to Regina, Saskatchewan via witness protection. He consistently calls the city "Vagina" (amongst many other malapropisms) as opposed to Regina and works for the Regina Tourism Office. His ill-fated attempts to meld his mobster lifestyle with the Canadian way drives many of the plots of the series.
- Cookie Falcone (MacDougall) voiced by Jacqueline Pillon - The sensible wife of Jimmy Falcone (MacDougall). She loves her children but hates Uncle Cheech due to him being the reason her family had to move to Canada. She has a brother named Paulie who is similar to Petey but can't mention him because Paulie ratted Jimmy out in a past crime.
- Cheech Falcone (MacDougall) voiced by Chuck Shamata - Jimmy's uncle and the reason the Falcone family is in witness protection.
- Theresa Maria Falcone (MacDougall) voiced by Emilie-Claire Barlow - The oldest daughter of Jimmy and Cookie. She is eighteen years old, and incredibly ditzy, often using her looks to gain the favor of the boys from her school.
- Peter "Petey" Frampton Falcone (MacDougall) voiced by Danny Smith - The only son and middle child of Jimmy and Cookie. He is fourteen years old, a straight-A student, eco-friendly activist and pacifist, though the latter mostly makes him deemed a nerd and a "loser" at school. His personality contrasts with that of his family. It also revealed that he takes after his uncle Paulie who is similar to him.
- Gina Madonna Falcone (MacDougall) voiced by Linda Kash - The youngest daughter of Jimmy and Cookie. She is seven years old and takes after her father and uncle in her mobster mentality. There are times she wants to kill Cheech for making them move to Canada. She has a crush on Don Gambini's son Carmine, who's similar to her and also likes her.
- Special Agent Strait McCool voiced by Ted Atherton - A well-meaning and friendly Royal Canadian Mounted Police agent assigned to oversee the MacDougall family, and an ever-present thorn in Jimmy's side whenever the latter attempts to pull off a scheme. He is a parody of the Canadian Mountie Dudley Do-Right from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show in the segment "Dudley Do-Right and the Mounties", right down to his voice and a horse named Horse. His catchphrase seems to be "For Canada, and whatever she stands for!" Thus all and all, Strait McCool is your average "Mountie stereotype" and "Canadian stereotype".
