Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers follows a third-generation restaurateur, Bob, as he runs Bob's Burgers with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob and his quirky family have big ideas about burgers, but fall short on service and sophistication. Despite the greasy counters, lousy location and a dearth of customers, Bob and his family are determined to make Bob's Burgers "grand re-re-re-opening" a success.

Bob's Burgers (2011-present) is a FOX animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard and Jim Dauterive, a long-running adult animation comedy set in a struggling seaside burger restaurant. Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) is a third-generation restaurateur whose determination to make his family's grand re-opening a success runs headlong into greasy counters, a lousy location and a scarcity of customers. His wife Linda (John Roberts) and their three kids, the sardonic Louise (Kristen Schaal), the anxious Tina (Dan Mintz) and the scheming Gene (Eugene Mirman), help run the place, and each episode is built from small schemes, odd customers and the daily grind of the counter. Sixteen seasons into its run, the show keeps its shape: a self-contained weekly story, with recurring characters and original musical numbers breaking into the plot. Its tone is warm and irreverent, a sincere family comedy wrapped in deadpan wit and cynical banter. Fans of The Simpsons, Family Guy and Parks and Recreation will find resonance in its quirky ensemble and affectionate take on small-business life.

Audiences broadly regard Bob's Burgers as a consistently warm, funny and acclaimed animated sitcom with a loyal fanbase.
