I loved this series! I wish it would come back to Netflix - it is so funny, cute and quirky!
When I first saw the commercials about a new cartoon-series I wasn't really impressed. Bobs burgers, about a burgershop, really..? The style was a strong reminder of Beavis and Butthead and the short commercial didn't really impress me much. Maybe I was a bit skeptical because the last years no cartoon or animation series has impressed me much. Brickleberry for example never made me laugh and I didn't like any of the characters.
When it comes to that, TV is riddled with the McFarlane cartoons and even though I still like family guy (not love), its all becoming a tad repetitive.
So I gave Bob's Burgers a chance. I had to get used to the style and wasn't convinced a Burgershop could deliver anything fun, but after a few ep's I am pleasantly surprised. The pace is really good, dialogs are fast and you have to take notice of all or you will miss a joke or clever pun. The cartoon-style works, it gives a bit of 80's nostalgia and it just looks funny - seeing Louise go nuts wearing those ears is just a funny sight.
The characters all work for me, I noticed a lot dislike Gene but I can see him fit in. He delivers a lot of clever (superfast) jokes (scrotumwax!) so for me he adds.
Even the 'recurring characters' deliver, my fav would be Teddy ("we need a bigger restaurant!").
All in all its well-made and reasonably original (wich is rare these days) and it's actually funny. It may need to grow on you, I needed a few episodes but now I am a fan.

I can't believe the amount of flack this show is receiving from the simple-minded and humorless... I have news for everyone: New episodes of the Simpsons are trash... Family Guy hasn't been relevant or clever in ages... American Dad and The Cleveland Show are rip-off cash-ins. I actually read one comment that stated "Give Seth Macfarlane another show!" God forbid! I was a huge fan of Futurama, About the first 10 seasons of the Simpsons, Clone High, Mission Hill, Undergrads, About the first four seasons of Family Guy... so on and so forth. This is the first show that has made me really laugh in a long time. It's clever, and the humor is a bit dryer and more subtle. There are some pretty crude stuff I suppose...
I dunno. I seriously think that people have forgotten what it's like to watch something that isn't preachy, in-your-face, and blatant.
At least this show incorporates its jokes into the story and episode arch... as opposed to Family Guy's idiotic asides...

I absolutely love this show. I have never fallen in love with a television show as quickly as I have with this one.
The humor is original, fresh, and it completely helps push the plot of each show along instead of throwing in humor that is completely unrelated to the plot. There is no comparison between this show and other animated comedies on television currently. Family Guy, The Simpsons, and other shows on TV now are re-using jokes and going for the easy laugh with sex jokes, but Bob's Burgers has smart comedy that often hits you a few minutes later. The characters are all so different, quirky, and lovable! I can see the typical family dynamic and it depicts families as they are. I love it. This show is great and I hope it keeps going!

Bobs Burgers is the definition of relaxation. Everything about bobs burgers just works. The acting is on point and is easily one of the best voice acting today. Each plot works perfectly. And the animation is great. This is a short but sweet review, because there really isn't anything to say other than to watch it. This show is going to run for a long time and it should. Overall this is a must watch show for anyone who likes comedy, it is very consistent and is the best adult animation show running currently. Between that Archer and Rick & Morty. It is a likeable show with likeable characters with great writing and animation.

- TriviaIn S9:E2, "The Taking of Funtime; One, Two, Three", Louise is banned from Family Funtime and has her picture placed on the Wall of Banishment. Among the other kids with pictures on the Wall are Logan (recurring teen troublemaker and Louise's nemesis 'Ears-y Rider' S3:E1) and "Choo-Choo" (Gene's punchline stealing nemesis from 'Spaghetti Westerns & Meatballs' S1:E9).
- GoofsEpisode after Episode where the basement is viewed, Cans of Tomatoes are on the rack.
Can Tomatoes are only good for meals such as Pizzas, Lasagnas, Soups,.. not in a hamburger and fries, may be a side salad restaurant. And no, the wall menu does not offer soup.
Canned Tomatoes are soft, mushy unlike firm, fresh tomatoes on a hamburger (or salad.)
Meaning, Canned Tomatoes have no function in a hamburger place.
Edit: Several times throughout the show soup is mentioned as being available. Specifically Mort is the one who usually orders the soup.
