Bob’s Burgers……….last night’s episode was probably one of the weakest episodes. Still funny, though.
I think Bob’s Burgers would be better if it didn’t air with Family Guy. Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers are almost the exact opposite show. (Bob’s Burgers is a positive, quirky show with a close family, Family Guy is a cruel, obnoxious show with a family that shares no common traits with each other (other than their dysfunction).)
But airing Bob’s Burgers on any other night would kill it….. so yeah.
Bob’s Burgers really needs to find its audience this summer. Season one is on Netflix and on DVD! Bob’s Burgers fans: Tell your friends, coworkers, in-laws, pets, everyone! Sneak into their house late at night and add it to their queue! Get them wanting more Bob’s Burgers. (And start them off on episode 6, where the show really started to take off.)
Yeah now that you mention it, all of the season Finales really blew! I was excited for BB as it was going to be a Gene centered episode but the character he played was stupid. Maybe he’s best with one liners.
Prelims for “Bob’s” was 1.7.
