Fairview is an American adult animated satirical sitcom created by R.J. Fried and executive produced by Late Show host Stephen Colbert that premiered on Comedy Central on February 9, 2022.
Synopsis
In a world inhabited by anthropomorphic nesting dolls, the series focuses how national politics interact with the dysfunctional citizens of a town named Fairview, a town of idiotic party people who are willing to urinate in public and fight in car park lots. Overseeing this is Kelly Sampson, a former party girl turned mayor (who is not the smartest person in the book), and her fellow incompetent political figures and their families.
