Fugget About It (

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 October on Adult Swim.^[4] Ultimately, on January 19, 2016, it was announced that it would not be ordering a fourth season of the show. The series was not renewed after 3 seasons.

Plot

The series follows a

• James Danger "Jimmy" Falcone (McDougal) (voiced by
  malapropisms
  ) despite being set up with a job at the Regina Tourism Office by the witness protection program. He conforms to a stoic, masculine gangster archetype, though occasionally exposes more sensitive sides. He cares deeply about his family, regardless of their shortcomings and failures, including Cheech, whose antics have caused, and continue to cause, him trouble. His struggles to successfully meld his gangland instincts with the Canadian way of life driving many of the series' plots.
• Cookie Falcone (McDougal) (voiced by Jacqueline Pillon) - Jimmy's wife. She describes herself as a typical Brooklyn girl, which, to her, implies loyalty but with a degree of materialism and the expectation that her husband will take care of her—whenever he falls short, she quickly becomes disgruntled. She met Jimmy while she was stripping at a club. She loves her children but expresses vacillating degrees of resentment towards Cheech, as the cause of her family's move to Canada. She is frequently portrayed as the voice of reason. She has a brother named Paulie, who is similar to Petey, but she feels unable to talk about him around the family, due to his past betrayal of Jimmy.
• Francesco "Cheech" Falcone (McDougal) (voiced by Chuck Shamata) - Jimmy's uncle. Cheech's inability to keep mob secrets to himself is the primary reason the Falcone family is in witness protection. He is an alcoholic and his hare-brained antics often drive episode plots. Despite his idiocy, Jimmy cares deeply about him and often attempts to keep him in line. The rest of the family is somewhat more ambivalent towards Cheech, treating him with wildly varying degrees of coldness. Gina, in particular, seems to dislike, or even loathe, Cheech.
• Theresa Maria Falcone (McDougal) (voiced by Emilie-Claire Barlow) - Cookie & Jimmy's eldest daughter. She is 17 and matches up with the ditzy, airheaded, promiscuous archetype, often using her beauty to attract and exploit boys. She is superficial and materialistic, yet shows a slightly more sensitive side as the show progresses.
• Peter Frampton "Petey" Falcone (McDougal) (voiced by
  Danny Smith
  ) - Cookie and Jimmy's middle child and only son. He is 16, a straight-A student, and a self-professed activist involved with a range of issues (most typically, environmentalism and pacifism). At school, he's unpopular and deemed a "loser" by many of the other kids. His personality and intellectual interests strongly contrast with those of his family. At one point, while attempting to understand the discrepancy, he comes to believe himself to be adopted—after which it's revealed that he simply takes after a different side of the family, specifically his uncle Paulie. He is the only member of the family who is happy about the relocation to Canada, having seemingly hated the "old life".
• Gina Madonna Falcone (McDougal) (voiced by
  sociopathic
  . She sometimes expresses a desire to kill Cheech for creating the circumstances that forced their move to Canada. She has a crush on Don Gambini's son, Carmine, who is similar to her and reciprocates her feelings.
• Special Agent Strait McCool (voiced by Ted Atherton) - A well-meaning, friendly, and conscientiously law-abiding Royal Canadian Mounted Police agent assigned to oversee the McDougal family. As an officer of the law, he is extremely - unrealistically - competent, described by his senior in one episode as having "cleaned up the entire west side of the country" after working vice, homicide, and narcotics. He is an ever-present thorn in Jimmy's side whenever the latter attempts to pull off a scheme. McCool reveals that his father abandoned him and his only known relative is his mother. He is revealed to be a former gambling addict, attend swinger parties and it was revealed by Cookie that he starred in a porno movie. His catchphrase is "For Canada, where..." or "For Canada, and...", ending with an apparently humorous aphorism or pithy summation somehow related to the current conversation, the episode's plot, or Canadian culture more broadly. McCool is likely a direct parody of Rocky and Bullwinkle's dimwitted but well-meaning Canadian Mountie, Dudley Do-Right.
• Shwa-Shwa (voiced by Damon Papadopulos)
• Sally Manero - formerly known as Salvatore “Sal” Falcone, Sally is Jimmy’s estranged father and Cheech’s biological brother who is a trans woman. First appearing in The Broadfather, she explained that the reason for her disappearance was because the mob would kill her if they knew she was a trans, leading to her abandoning Jimmy at the age of 13 and Jimmy assuming his father had been killed by a rival gang. Initially Jimmy refused to reconcile with his father, not because she is trans but because she abandoned him when he was still young, but he eventually does so after Sally explains to him that it hurt her to leave her own child, but had she stayed Jimmy would have never been made capo.
