They've also created lovable, real-feeling characters with their own personalities, interests, quirks. They know how to poke fun without cruelty. It's one of the best shows on TV, the best animated show on TV, and too many people sleep on it because it's animated. It's a gem.

Edit to share my idea: Teddy needs his own spin-off where he moves to the city and navigates life as a single man in the city. THINK ABOUT IT. They also need to crossover with The Great North. Make them extended family, come oooooon.

Watching it on a piece of junk tv at the wee hours of the morning was all part of the charm, didn’t need those pixels

I think there is an ai upscale torrent somewhere.

Bob's Burger's + even more neuroticism = Dr. Katz

Huge disappointment that none of the kids had lines, but Louise being the only one not horrified by the blood was a nice touch.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Agreed. We put it on random when we can't decide what to watch.

It's a wonderful show. They don't do a lot of toxic mainstream stuff like "drop the soap" jokes etc. Bob is such a good man and Linda is so funny xD Also the kids of course.

[-] teft@piefed.social 22 points 5 days ago

Bob and Linda are the best marriage on TV.

It's a pretty wholesome type show, I know I wasn't expecting that when I first watched but it's definitely grown on me. It's like less Simpsons wholeness for current day. But also they don't don't get quite as awful in a family sense. Don't get me wrong love Simpsoms (well may have to exclude certain seasons or least half seasons) but this show has its own feeling for animated family. It's written so well.

We rewatched the first season recently, it was dirty. Especially the bed breakfast one.

[-] Flamekebab@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

I was pleased to see some of the dirtiness coming back in recent seasons.

[-] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 18 points 5 days ago

I saw Loren say once that the basic premise of the show is that "Bob can't win." Like, that's the rule. He has to lose, because that action is what endears us as an audience, but also creates a plyable space to inject the kind of schmaltz that the Simpsons used to be known for in its earliest seasons.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

At the same time, Bob isn't really losing either. It's more like spinning his wheels in the mud.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Bob has a loving family and owns his own business (rising out of wage slavery), which sometimes doesn't do super well but typically he makes ends meet. He already won

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Even if he hasn't won, he's 7 steps in the right direction. I'd love to live above my own restaurant/business.
