Bob's Burgers: A new Fox cartoon not from Seth McFarlane

[Philip1978]

What does it say about me that I kind of liked it? I think that it may be that I like the voices more than the story though.....................

I was biking and watching on one of those mini tvs installed on it. I completely forgot about this show until I cycled through the channels and found this crap. I plugged in earphones to listen, and trust me, I wanted to punch the tv and the guy that made it in the face.

I was hoping it would be quirky and different, but instead it's just more crude vaginal rash jokes from FOX.

Episode 2 actually wasn't too bad.

I slept through most of ep 2. The part I saw wasn't very entertaining to me. I think I'm growing out of cartoon humor.

Don't let this happen. Go watch Futurama, Venture Bros, or Sealab 2021.

Futurama is the exact same style of comedy as the Simpsons. It's just regarded as "better" because it was cancelled early in its run/isn't popular

More like late period Simpsons I would say. Futurama is much more gag-focused and the characters don't get as developed as any of the Simpsons' do. Its still entertaining, I like to put it on when I get take-out on a Tuesday night.

We have very different tastes. Futurama, in terms of quality, hovers around the mediocre episodes from season 5-9 of the Simpsons. As is: Better than pretty much any cartoon on these days, but still not as great as the best Simpson episodes.
