My verdict on Bob's Burgers is that it needs more . . . seasoning.

It just doesn't cut the mustard. Few relish it. It may never ketchup with the other animated shows.

As served, I'll bet there's not Five Guys in the entire country who'll like it!

Nominate for lamest post of the year.

Also, the show sucks.

An animated show is not necessarily a cartoon.

Looks REALLY retarded in the commercials.

What's with "adults" watching cartoons anyway? :rolleyes:

because its a perfectly acceptable medium for telling a story

never understood why people hate on cartoons as a medium and claim they are only for kids

simpsons, fam guy, southpark, futurama. all extremely successfully and better then 99% of non animated TV

My view:

Bob's Burgers < American Dad < Cleveland Show < King of the Hill < Simpson's < Family Guy

And I dislike King of the Hill, so Bob's Burgers is really crappy in my eyes.

I wouldn't put the Simpsons so high up on that list. It's just not very good anymore.

I'd go

Simpsons < Bobs Burgers < King of the Hill < American Dad < Cleveland Show < Family guy.

bobs burgers and KOTH would be lucky to be half as good as the simpsons ever was, even if its now a shadow of its former glory

I never understood that. I stoped watching them around 12 when i discoverd espn. Now thats 90% of the TV i consume.

so you'd rather watch overpaid men that need real jobs playing childhood games "professionally" than watch something of real entertainment just because its drawn instead of filmed?

I myself have never seen the allure of watching sports period. watching grown men fight over a ball just doesn't do anything for me..
now if it was naked hot women fighting over a ball.. then for sure..

futurama is 100% better than non-animated tv

i'm sure you can find naked girls playing football on youporn or something.

Oh I didn't say I couldn't find anything.. I said instead of watching 300lb overpaid mandogs chasing around a ball or beating each other senseless was not entertainment.

Old Simpsons > South Park > Futurama > Family Guy > American Dad > New Simpsons > everything else. Bobs Burgers and Cleveland Show rank behind old Road Runner and Bugs Bunny cartoons.

I'm not sure why they're putting this adult swim-quality crap onto fox.

Because they can't afford the GOOD Adult sim stuff (or they have to edit the crap out of it to make it more "acceptable").

The Venture Brothers.
Robot Chicken.

Real kids stuff there. :rolleyes:

why cant adults enjoy cartoons? i find them better than most of the drivel on tv.

I turn 31 tomorrow and would watch a cartoon over reality tv any day of the week.

Definitely a bit of a let down, though I did have fun recognizing all of the voices from Home Movies:

Bob = Coach McGuirk, obviously
The health inspector with a crush = Fenton
The mortician = Mr. Lindenson (Paula's boss)
Other health inspector = Mr. Lynch
Pretty sure I heard Melissa's dad/Dr. Katz in there somewhere.

I'll give the show another shot, but it was decidedly....meh.

I thought it was kinda funny. When all of the protesters were outside and one of them had a sign that said "Don't taste me, bro" I was laughing pretty good.

I thought it was about an ethnic minority family running a burger joint, which would be an interesting premise.

They look like they could be middle eastern or latins, but after watching couple episodes, they're total Americans.

What are they supposed to be anyway?

This news makes me happy. Family Guy still has its moments, but their lazy filler gets on my nerves.

A 2nd season?? Wow, surprising. I still give it a shot each week and everytime I just cannot finish it, I got to where Bob got into a fight with the pizza place guy and put on something else before Family Guy. No way it's better than the Cleveland Show or American Dad, but last night EVERY show was underwhelming.
