hilarious and full of energy AT FIRST with amazing characters but towards the later seasons gets really dull and focuses exclusively on the kids giving Bob and Linda and the restaurant roles as B story background characters and minimal screen time. What energy and creativity gone in the end swapping out funny dialogue and adventure to become a kiddy show.

Too many shows out there like this one, and this is one of the worst. There is no originality in this at all. Also, to those of you saying this copies the Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad, just remember: the Simpsons did it first, and they ran out of funny years ago. None of these shows are worth the air time they take up.

Bob's Burgers is a hilarious and heartwarming animated sitcom that follows the adventures of the Belcher family. The characters are quirky and lovable, and the humor is both clever and relatable. It's a show that never fails to make me laugh
