Looks terrible. Previews are so bad I'm not going to watch the premiere.

1/9/2011 5:36:36 PM

It's got H. Jon Benjamin, so that's something.

1/9/2011 5:40:35 PM

FOX up here in Boston is showing four-second ads for this show during the GB/Philly game.

1/9/2011 5:40:35 PM

I'm intrigued enough to give it a shot

1/9/2011 5:57:45 PM

It's got to be better than Family Guy.

1/9/2011 6:15:07 PM

I HATE CHANGE!!! GIMME BACK MY LOONEY TOONS!!!


no, but really- family guy and southpark both looked like they would suck, and looked how good they were (note, not saying "are" - I know a lot of people have gotten tired of both shows... but I still like them , and they were both hits)

[Edited on January 9, 2011 at 6:28 PM. Reason : family GUY]

1/9/2011 6:26:09 PM

I love basically everybody involved with it, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

1/9/2011 7:24:35 PM

Jesus this is bad, and the wife's voice doesn't even remotely sound female.

1/9/2011 8:53:01 PM

rough, very rough

1/9/2011 10:19:40 PM

Tonight's episode was terrible. I chuckled maybe twice.

1/9/2011 10:24:28 PM

i'm willing to bet that fox noted out anything funny

because with bouchard, benjamin, and mirman, this shit should be gold

but we know what fox does

1/9/2011 10:43:09 PM

It was very rough. I laughed a couple times, and the humor is right, but the writing is... meh.

1/9/2011 10:53:37 PM

Bunch of haters in this thread.

Humor was spot on. Looking forward to the rest of the show.

It was preceded by a mediocre Simpsons episode and followed by a very unfunny Family Guy.

1/9/2011 11:09:31 PM

"very unfunny Family Guy" is redundant

It was good, but I like pretty much all of H. Jon Benjamin's characters more. Especially Archer, I can't wait for that to start back.

The wife is annoying as hell and only the youngest kid seemed to be interesting.

What about it was spot on? The tired cannibalism jokes? Maybe it was the lazy autism punchlines?

To me it just seemed like a recycled mishmash of significantly funnier animated shows.

1/10/2011 12:05:07 AM

I was with you until "significantly funnier animated shows".

You might have to point those out.

1/10/2011 12:24:22 AM

I thought it was alright. Gave me a few laughs, which is more than I can say for Macfarlane shows

Though every time I hear H Jon, all I can think of is

1/10/2011 1:10:52 AM

In the future I'd be much more willing to watch this than I would be a new Simpsons episode.

[Edited on January 10, 2011 at 8:46 AM. Reason : -]

1/10/2011 8:45:47 AM

I liked it.

1/10/2011 9:39:08 AM

it's like the oblongs, but much more poorly animated

1/10/2011 9:49:39 AM

It's like Home Movies, except better animation.

1/10/2011 1:11:55 PM

actually I thought the Family Guy episode (at the the first part of it) was one of the funniest this new season. Peter Griffin jacked up on RedBull? awesome.


Bob's Burgers was 'ok'. I'll watch it again, mainly because I think it could get really funny.

Horrible product tie in.

1/10/2011 4:55:34 PM

is it really an advertisement when the whole episode is how it ruined his kidneys? that doesn't seem like the pub that a product would want

[Edited on January 10, 2011 at 7:38 PM. Reason : .]

1/10/2011 7:37:13 PM

The kerosene drink ruined his kidneys, right? So the product placement is drink Red Bull, you'd just ruin your kidneys trying to come up with an alternative.

1/10/2011 7:52:20 PM

yeh, those family guy plots are tough to follow

1/10/2011 8:09:14 PM

Seeing as how this thread devolved into a Family Guy discussion, this Bob's Burgers show must be absolute shit. Glad I didn't waste my time watching it.

1/10/2011 8:27:14 PM

I didn't watch it, but the clips I heard on the radio made it sound exactly like Home Movies . . . yes? no?

1/10/2011 11:45:45 PM

The Simpson's entertained me the most on Sunday.

1/11/2011 12:07:36 AM

Disappointing. But sometimes these things take a while to get good. I'm willing to give it another chance.

Ugly Americans is probably my favorite relatively new animated comedy though.

1/11/2011 12:42:38 AM

I'll watch it again because of the time slot, but I don't think it will last very long. There doesn't seem to be a lot of room for character development. Other than the little girl, all the other characters were uninteresting.

1/11/2011 7:35:55 AM

I'll second that, Ugly Americans is a very good new(ish) animated series.

1/11/2011 1:02:02 PM

^Yeah, and just like you have been repeatedly saying in this thread about Bob's Burgers, a lot of people refused to watch Ugly Americans because they thought the previews were stupid. In actuality, Ugly Americans is absolutely hilarious. Don't be such a stubborn jackass and just give it a chance before you talk shit about it.

1/12/2011 12:47:01 AM

I thought Ugly Americans would be like Superjail (which I thought sucked) but it's actually really good.

1/12/2011 1:43:40 AM

I watched my first episode tonight. I probably won't be taking a second look.

1/16/2011 9:10:06 PM

Second episode was pretty great.

1/19/2011 1:40:54 AM

I've now seen both episodes on Hulu and I will be watching the third episode live tonight on television. Unless the AFC game is super amazing and then I'll watch the third episode on Hulu as well. But either way, I'll be watching episode 3 because I think Bob's Burgers has more potential than any animated comedy since Animaniacs.

1/23/2011 4:40:35 PM

I think this would play better on adult swim, just seems out of place on the simpsons/macfarlane power two hours

1/23/2011 8:59:36 PM

I caught tonight's episode, which is the only one i've seen, and i wasn't really that impressed.

1/23/2011 11:32:46 PM

watched for the first time tonight

funnier than expected

1/24/2011 12:17:19 AM

^^^It's certainly better suited than the new Adult Swim show God, the Devil & Bob, which is just plain outlandish for Adult Swim.

1/24/2011 1:11:11 AM

I watched it last night b.c I was too sick to change the channel. it was HORRIBLE.

the character's voices were so annoying. the story was stupid, and the art itself was awful.

1/24/2011 11:07:58 AM

I think this would play better at 3am on weekday nights on adult swim

or just, you know, never on TV

1/24/2011 4:04:23 PM

I love this show. But I love most anything Loren Bouchard creates.

The kids make this show!

1/24/2011 4:35:56 PM

^Yeah, they really do.

Episode 3 was great.

Hope they keep it going.

1/27/2011 1:06:35 AM

bttt... this show is really growing on me- yall still liking/hating it?

2/18/2011 10:31:30 AM

I watched one episode

Wasn't that impressed


will stick with Family Guy
