Bob's Burgers is an American animated television sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The show, according to Fox's publicity website, is about "a man, his family and their floundering burger joint. Despite the greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob and his lovable and quirky family are convinced their burgers are their ticket to success".

Sneak Peek

The show aired a 2-minute "sneak peek" during Fox's Network TV broadcast premiere of The Simpsons Movie and airs Sundays after The Simpsons starting on January 9, 2011. The first season is expected to have thirteen episodes.

Plot

The show centers on a family that runs a hamburger restaurant. Loren Bouchard stated Bob's Burgers came out of the fact that Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but that he also wanted to dabble in workplace comedy. The show is said to fill the void created by the cancellation of King of the Hill, which executive producer Jim Dauterive worked on for nearly its entire run.

Cast

Reception

The show has gained mixed responses from critics. Metacritic.com gave an aggregate score of 53 or "mixed or average reviews." Entertainment Weekly gave the show an A- grade in its review, remarking that "a comedy this well done is very rare indeed." Ain't It Cool News called Bob's Burgers "perhaps the funniest half-hour currently airing on broadcast TV." TV Hamster described the series as "Not TV worthy", pointing out that the jokes have no momentum and that "The characters are plain and have absolutely no characteristics and therefore it is hard to like any of them."
