Napoleon Dynamite TV Show

Napoleon Dynamite, the 2004 film about a socially inept teenager; Kip, his live at home, cyber relationship pursuing thirty two year old brother; Pedro, his newly immigrated Mexican friend; and his van dwelling uncle Rico, who is seemingly frozen in a nostalgic gaze toward the year 1982, is now debuting on Fox, at 8:30 EST Sunday.

This animated half hour show will feature familiar voices from the film, and extrapolate the innocent, albeit absurd adventures of the Dynamite family, et al. In 2004 the limited release film waggled to a staggering cult presence in the national psyche, spawning a line of “Vote for Pedro” T-shirts, utterances of catchphrases like: “Gosh!,” and “You idiot!,” arguably leading to a mimicry of Napoleon’s moon boot by way of a surge in Ugg Boot wearing, and even led to a now defunct Napoleon Dynamite Festival (ala Lebowskifest) held annually in Preston, Idaho.
