Bob's Burgers - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

First episode is going on right now on Fox and I like it so far.

Helluva lot better than the Simpson's episode that preceded it at least.

Anyone else?

I turned it off at 8:50, but I laughed at some jokes near the beginning for example "there's a line between entertainment and being annoying" "i disagree! fart fart fart fart." Also the youngest daughter was funny. But the last thing I saw was when Bob was helping the health inspector get out of his parking spot.

I'm sure I'll watch it again, only for its timeslot, of course. That's why I stuck with the cleveland show (glad I did, I think it's been the best of the Sunday lineup this season)

bout a B- tonight, but plenty of potential.

Lots of recognizable voices. The health inspectors were Felton and Mr. Lynch from Home Movies.

That show was so terrible, I assumed it was just a big hoax by Fox. Pure garbage.

I'm a big fan of Jon Benjamin and Loren Bouchard, so I have high hopes for Bob's Burgers. I pretty much never like first episodes, but this one showed promise.

It felt to me like it was a random comedy central show. I saw nothing outstanding or distinguishing about it at all.

i watched it for fun. not really wanting to get a new show in my lineup, not that i even have a lineup, but it was ok. it needs some work, but with some more character development it could be better. will prob watch a few more and reassess.

i liked it. it had me laughing a bunch of times, and i really the voices. Mirman and Kristen Schaal especially.

Thought it was awful.

Every character talks and acts like they are on sedatives, makes the show just feel slow and boring.

None of characters felt like they could do anything remotely interesting with them ever.

This show will die quick.

Expected to hate it, actually liked it. See how it holds up over the next couple of eps, its not perfect and half the characters im not sure of, but Bob and the younger daughter were hilarious and it had a bunch of great one off jokes - the child molester burger stuff was hilarious and the toothpicks on the floor had four solid back to back jokes.

Could have lived without the crotch jokes, didn't like the mom much, but mostly enjoyed it.
You are the worst kind of autistic.

mediocre at best.
the voices are pretty lame and so far it's not edgy enough to be very funny.
got some potential but I don't think it'll last long.

Yeah, Kristen Schaal is awesome. I'm surprised she's doing this show TBH, since she's a good on screen comic actress.

i thought it was pretty damn good. but i love H. Jon Benjamin.

i liked the daughter too. she's the psycho stalker girl from Flight of the Concords, right?

the mom was the worst. her voice was annoying. waaaay to new york jewishy for me.

the annoying son was funny, although he may get old quickly.

and the socially awkward daughter was great too. (how can you not love the toothpicks joke?)

show has potential and i'll continue to watch.
