bobs burgers

The show centers on the Belcher family who run a hamburger restaurant on Ocean Avenue in an unnamed seaside community (informally known as "Seymour's Bay" among the show's writing staff). Series creator Loren Bouchard commented in a 2012 interview that the show's location was an indeterminate Northeastern United States shore town. Entertainment writers have later described the show as being set in New Jersey, citing the season three episode "It Snakes a Village". The restaurant is located in a two-floor building sandwiched between a funeral home and a building where tenants come and go on a regular basis, and the Belcher family lives in the apartment directly above the restaurant. Bob's Burgers is a struggling restaurant situated on a commercial street that relies heavily on traffic from the local amusement park, Wonder Wharf, which is located on a pier at the end of Ocean Avenue and owned by Calvin Fischoeder, an eccentric millionaire who also owns many buildings in the town, including the one where Bob's Burgers and the Belchers' home is located.

Success is not easy, as Bob must compete with several other eateries for business. His biggest rival is Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria, the owner of which Bob particularly dislikes. Bob's restaurant also has seen its fair share of bad luck. For example, in the show's open, Bob's Burgers falls victim to a fire, an infestation of vermin, and a utility pole that falls over and crashes into the building. In spite of all this, Bob does have a loyal but small group of regular customers including Mort, the owner of the funeral home, and Teddy Francisco, the local handyman.

They both suck, IMO. I really only watch Family Guy and The Cleveland Show on Sunday nights on Fox. Sometimes I'll watch The Simpsons. I'm not a fan of American Dad though. I would rather Fox show The Cleveland Show instead of American Dad.

Bob's Burgers is awesome and it is a midseason show.

I have been a fan of this show since it first aired. I even went to the Live show they put on out here in Seattle and met the cast and writer. I finally decided to check on this site to see if there was a fan forum on here but I guess not. Would be nice to have an offical forum for Bob's Burgers on here to discuss with other fans. This show is a breath of fresh air from Family Guy and American Dad but the humor for those 2 shows are starting to get a little dry. Bob's Burgers are more down to earth fun family humor and I love it.

I watch it when I do remember it's on, indeed it is very funny and smart.

So far the best episode I have seen was when Bob was asked to be the Guest Chef on a cruise liner for the night.. only to discover the boat left the dock and he couldn't get off LMAO.

Great episode. But, the episode where gene finds the talking toilet in the woods.

That was a great one too. I like all the episodes but one of my favorites was when Bob had to get stitches for slicing his finger and Linda took him to the Hopital and the kids ran an underground casino in the basement.

[lazystoner]

Funny show. Much better than Family Guy.

[HDMe]

Yeah... I like this. Benjamin (Bob) is why I watched the show to start with... but the kid characters get a lot of funny lines on the show.

And bob had to keep going back to the hospital. And, I can't believe this isn't even on blu-ray yet.

I completely agree. This is one of the shows that deserves a blu-ray release.

If the Bob's Burgers Live show ever comes to your town, I suggest you guys go. I just saw the show last week here in Seattle and it was hilarious. Plus they read a script of the upcomming Thanksgiving episode for next season.

[smegger2000]

The best episode I can think of off the top of my head is the one where Gene starts dressing, acting and talking like Bob. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. I think it is part of the episode where Tina tries to find out who the mad pooper is at school.

I saw it in Madison, WI last October, front row and nearly pissed myself from laughter. They did a live reading of the Thanksgiving episode and to see Dan Mintz and Kristin Schaal do the Tina/Louise scene live nearly killed me lol

My fave is Bad Tina. Simply for this:

is that a dinosaur above your tar pit?

Wow, this show doesn't get much love around here. Watching the new episode now.
