Bob's Burgers is an American animated television sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company.

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." In its review, CNN called the show "wickedly funny" and said there are "too many highlights to list here."

However, 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." The Washington Post described the show as "pointlessly vulgar and derivatively dull" while Reuters stated that "It's unwise -- and unnecessary -- to launch an animated sitcom on Fox that appears intent to ape the vulgarity quotient of Family Guy." USA Today stated that "'Bob's Burgers' isn't very tasty" describing the comedy as just "lop along, stumbling from one tasteless moment to the next" The New York Times described the show as having "a lackadaisical vibe; its humor, no matter how anarchic, slides by in a deadpan monotone."

After airing, the show became the highest-rated series premiere of the season and also finished 9th in the ratings for the week it aired.
