Created by and starring Jason Ruiz, the half-hour comedy follows the Hornsby family as they vie for control of their once-successful cracker company.
In addition to Ruiz, the series also stars Andrew Santino, Jessica St. Clair, David Gbori, Maile Flanagan and Fred Tatasciore. “Television has done a great job exploring how families clash over the fate of oil, media or cattle empires, but until now, no one has had the courage to address the savory snack food industry,” explained Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network.
