“Bless the Harts” joins Fox’s Sunday night block of animated programming this week, introducing viewers to Jenny Hart, her family and her BFF Jesus Christ.

Featuring a voice cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell and Ike Barinholtz, the half-hour comedy follows the Harts, “a Southern family that is always broke and forever struggling to make ends meet.
