Delocated is an American television series which premiered February 12, 2009 on Adult Swim.[1] The original pilot for the show was aired on April 1, 2008.
Jon Glaser plays a man in the Witness Protection Program who moves his family to New York City so they can star in a reality TV show, forced to wear balaclavas at all times. Paul Rudd guest-stars in the pilot as himself. Eugene Mirman co-stars as a Russian hitman/stand-up comic hired to kill Jon.[2]
This series is produced by Wonder Showzen and Xavier: Renegade Angel creators PFFR. It leans decidedly more towards deadpan humor and does not use the black humor of their other shows. It is similar in format to The Office, in that it mocks a reality show setup, as if it were a serious, non-fiction reality show and not a fictional comedy.
Delocated concluded its first season on March 29, 2009, and was renewed for a second season, which began on August 22, 2010.[3] The second season episodes are extended from a 15 minute runtime to a 30 minute runtime.
Plot
After testifying against the Russian Mafia, "Jon" and his family are uprooted and start living undercover through the witness protection program. After existing quietly in an anonymous suburb, "Jon" accepts an offer for the family to participate in a reality show based on their lives. In order to protect their identity with television audiences - and more importantly, the Russian mob family the Mirminsky's - they wear ski masks and have their voices surgically disguised. As part of the deal, the family is relocated to a sweet loft in New York City, where the series will be filmed. Not only does "Jon" find out that the sweet loft was not as advertised, his wife "Susan" promptly concludes that the life of a ski-masked, voice-disguised reality star is not for her or their teenage son "David." Picked up for a second season by the network, "Jon" has little time to celebrate as the vicious Mirminsky family renews their efforts to destroy him and everything he holds dear.
