      A modestly immature workplace cartoon, not without potential, that needs to work on finding its rhythm.

      Bruce Kirkland Toronto Sun Sly, off-kilter and droll. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune [Jon] Benjamin's me-against-the-world delivery gives the show a beating heart, reminding us that the Simpsons aren't the only lovable misfits in 'toon town. Rated: 3/4 Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx I'm very impressed by how the show manages to be simultaneously weird and heart-warming without one half undercutting the others. Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Melody Danielle Rice The Young Folks It's far from a perfect pilot, and it's certainly one of the weakest episodes. But it's definitely laying the groundwork for what would become one of the funniest and most likable animated shows of all time. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects It's a lower profile part of Fox animation domination, but it's one of the best. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Kelly West CinemaBlend Bob's Burgers may not be entirely family friendly nor is the premise entirely original but much like Fox's other animated series on Sunday night, this is a show that celebrates the humor and the messiness of the typical American family.

      br00talbananas One of my all-time favorite animated series. Such a great show 🫶 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Spencer P Ranging from moderately relatable to totally cringe, I never found the pilot season of Bob's Burgers to be laugh-out-loud funny. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Armchair Critic ! Season 1 of Bob's Burgers was it weakest. While it's still funny and unique, it hadn't yet developed the sense of heart the later seasons have. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Trey W Not as good as Archer or other shows but it's a pretty good watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review DJ W This show is annoying, and rarely funny. It hurts my brain to watch it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Koen H Love this show!! Amazing characters and super funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
