    The season's first two episodes aren't as consistently funny as last spring's best outings, but they do a good job of showcasing both the style of Bob's Burgers and the deep roster of characters the show has already assembled.
  2. An animated comedy that is propelled by a very strong voice cast and by its own daffy comedic momentum.

    What's most remarkable about Bob's Burgers is how improbably poignant it can be while shamelessly indulging in the peculiar environs and dreamscapes that emerge from small-town livin'.

    While the show's attempt to please different generations is sometimes more jarring than jocular, this episode does feature the best non sequitur gag you're ever likely to hear about the Parliament song "Aqua Boogie."

  1. Awesome show. Very funny without having drug, violence, or sex references (most of the time.) The characters are awesome. New and fresh show, something different IMO. I love it and hope it doesn't get canceled. Full Review »
  2. Honestly, I wanted to like this show but I couldn't. Barely liked season 1 enough to give season 2 a chance and after rarely laughing (aside from a chuckle or two) in the first two episodes, I decided to drop the show. Full Review »
