For those that expect this to be "laugh-a-minute" TV, let me try to explain (or at least give you my 2 cents). The genius of Bob's Burgers is not "how funny is it?". The genius is the immersion into the world and the overall quality of its entertainment and writing. The stories are not capers and other outlandish shenanigans like American Dad / Family Guy. This is a completely different approach. This is writing with soul, finesse, heart (so much heart!) and warmth, with the most stunning achievement, in my view, being its ability to imbibe the viewer with joy. Such a thing is actually miraculous. It is the TV version of resting in a bed of goose down comforters while simultaneously receiving a neck massage, foot rub and being fed an ice-cream sundae. The characters, dialogue, outstanding animation and voice acting combine to produce the most stunning fine and complex wine. One that will be viewed in years to come as an unforgettable masterpiece which, though recognised, was under-appreciated in its time.
