What happens

Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It is centered on the Belcher family—parents Bob and Linda and their three children, Tina, Gene, and Louise—who run a burger restaurant in New Jersey and often go on adventures of many kinds. The show premiered on January 9, 2011. The series was conceived by Bouchard after he developed Home Movies. Bob's Burgers is produced by Wilo Productions and Buck & Millie Productions in association with 20th Television Animation. The series is animated by Bento Box Entertainment. While reviews for the first season were mixed, feedback for subsequent seasons has been more positive. The series premiere, "Human Flesh", drew in 9.39 million viewers, making it the highest-rated series premiere of the season and finishing ninth in the ratings for the week it aired. Since then, the series has grown to be a critical and cultural success. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Bob's Burgers as one of the 60 Greatest TV Cartoons of All Time. The series has been nominated for several awards, including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program fifteen consecutive times (2012–2026), winning in 2014 and 2017. Reruns began airing on Cartoon Network's programming blocks Adult Swim in June 2013, and ACME Night from 2021 to 2023, and began airing in syndication on local stations in September 2015. A feature film was released in theaters in May 2022. A comic book series based on the series, published by Dynamite Entertainment, began in September 2014. A soundtrack album was released on Sub Pop Records in May 2017, with a second volume released in August 2021. In April 2025, it was announced that Bob's Burgers would be renewed for four more seasons in what is considered a "mega deal" with Disney Television Studios. This renewal will take the show through the 2028–29 television season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
