Things Get Wild
As you can gather from the title, Animal Control, follows the exploits of workers who respond to situations regarding pets and the local wildlife. In this workplace comedy, it’s difficult to decide who makes their lives more complicated, their colleagues or the animals.

The series premiere of Animal Control airs Thursday, February 16, on Fox.
