While I like H. Jon Benjamin, the show just isn't funny to me, as the Bob and Linda are bland, and the kids are irritating. There are a few episodes I enjoy more than others, but otherwise it is just mediocre. Still, it is better than the other shows on Fox Sunday (which isn't saying a whole lot). Your opinion?

I think it's one of the funniest shows on TV. It's not in-your-face-instant-gratification funny though. It's more like King of the Hill funny where it's a little bit more subtle and you really have to watch a few episodes to get feel for the characters and the world they live in. I don't care if I miss Family Guy or The Simpsons, but I always watch Bob's Burgers whenever I can.

I've seen an episode. It was about farts, so I'm not going to base my opinion of the whole show off of that. It wasn't terrible. I'll watch it again and hopefully it'll grow on me.

Second only to family guy. It sort of has the the same dialogue as aqua teen, if the writers of athf were on Ritalin.

it has its moments and it's fine in small doses (honestly, i think it would be a better 15 minute show). it's just that it's a character driven show but they can't actually do anything with the characters because the series doesn't have a continuous plot line, so nearly all the episodes end with the same family first message.

I think it's quite funny. More of a dialogue-driven funny than visual funny, but I kind of prefer that.

Pretty boring show, didn't find it very humorous. The characters felt dull to me.

Love it, especially the dead-pan humour of Tina, Linda and Bob. Louise is pretty funny too but I'm not really a fan of Gene.

Much much better than anything else in Animation Domination's block. It has a hilarious, organic family dynamic.

After Archer, I just can't wrap my head around a tubby, hairy fry guy with that voice.

Just flat-out awful. 2 minutes was enough for me.

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardroooobbee..." "Oh yeah, the kid's book." "Yes, by Salomon Rushie." -- Bob laughs -- "It's not by Salomon Rushdie." "Of course it is." "I'm not gonna have this conversation with you, Gene, I'm in a wall."

I didn't like it as first, but it grew quite a bit on me. It takes some time to get used to the art style and absurd characters.

Just reading that just made me laugh hard. The show's reached the point where you can tell who is who just by their dialogue and inflections.

Anyway, it's probably one of my favourite shows on now. Some eps don't give off the best first impression, but when you get into, it's just a 22 minute treat to watch every week. I have the biggest damn smile on my face.
