Bob's Burgers (2011)
Bob's Burgers is a 2011 animation series created by Loren Bouchard and Jim Dauterive. It stars H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts and Kristen Schaal.
Bob Belcher flips patties in a barely-solvent New Jersey burger joint, propped up by his relentlessly upbeat wife Linda and their three oddball kids, Tina, Gene, and Louise. Customers are scarce and the counters are greasy, but the family treats every slow day like an adventure. Loren Bouchard created the animated sitcom for Fox in 2011, and its gentle, joke-dense warmth set it apart from louder cartoons. Songs break out constantly, the puns pile up, and the plain affection between the Belchers stays the real draw across every failed re-re-re-opening.
