Although the show lacks the frenzied cadence of the aforementioned Archer, the depth of Bob's Burgers's relationships holds more promise. The forgiven failures and flaws of the Belchers remind us that families are often most tightly knit when they're at their most pathetic.
Bob’s Burgers is by far one of my favorite TV shows. The show is light and packed with plenty of humor to keep you laughing throughout the whole episode. Each character has a unique personality and voice that brings the show to life. Louise is one of my favorite characters, I love her fiery spirit and the trouble she gets into. I enjoy that this show can be an adult cartoon without have a lot of raunchy content. If you want to just sit down, watch a show and laugh Bob’s Burgers is for you.
The perfect animated sitcom.
Each episode is one I don't feel like skipping each time I go back and watch, and each character they add keeps the show new without reinventing. I love this show, and I think it's the best sitcom on television.
And even though the potential for irritation feels high--everyone but Gene is a smidge too sad-sacky and whiny--there's something about Bob's that feels fresh, sweet even.
When Bob's Burgers gets rolling and hints at the smarts that made Home Movies and Dr. Katz so good, it only makes you long for a distancing on the inane, easy-joke riffs that try to be "edgy."
Created by Loren Bouchard, the man behind the underated Dr Katz, Bob’s Burgers is an animated sitcom centred around around the Belchers and their family run burger joint.
Despite an excellent voice cast including the likes of H. Jon Benjamin (Archer) and Kristin Schaal (Flight of the Conchords, 30 Rock) this first season is uneven to say the least. There are moments that demonstrate the shows potential, and it’s not completely without it’s funny moments, but at this point the show doesn’t quite know what it wants to be.
Having seen later seasons I will say here that it does get better though so it’s worth sticking with.
The animation is just so saturday morning. When you see it next to The Simpsons or Family Guy it just looks like someone's kid is doing the animation in the garage. Kind of hit and miss. Some of the episodes are funny and then the next is dull.
OK, I really want to like this show,Ever since Family Guy stopped being funny, and I realized that there are in fact a lot of different comedy styles out there, I decided to look around. Adult Swim never caught on with me, because I was still under MacFarlane's spell, but then I found Archer, which I found absolutely hilarious. Speaking of Archer, and coming to how this all relates, The titular character (Sterling Archer) of Archer is played by H. Jon Benjamin, who plays the titular character in Bob's Burgers. Upon hearing his voice, I thought to myself "hm, that's the Archer guy, isn't it? Well, this will be fun, a great sunday night switch up to the usual bombardment of Family Guy-esque shows, which is all I watch, being a person who is not too fond of the Simpsons for a reason I cannot tell. To my own despair, however much I had hoped it would be good, Bob's Burgers wasn't funny. What's so bad about it is not that it's offensive, or that it takes itself too seriously, but it suffers from the crime of not being funny. There are a few little things that kind of made me smile a little bit, but other than that, nothing. I'm giving this a bad review, but I'm quite hopeful for the future. I'm willing to give Bob's Burgers a season, and I hope Fox is willing to as well. I feel like there has to be something funny they can do with it, but, at this point, I'm not a fan.
