TV #42 of 2025: Bob’s Burgers, season 15 I’m rounding up a bit on the basis of the delightful (if sadly relatable) finale “InsomniBob,” which finds our hero growing increasingly unhinged as he sacrifices sleep for extra creativity time in his ‘night kitchen,’ but overall, this is another winning season from the Bob’s Burgers crew. …

TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 14
TV #22 of 2024: Bob’s Burgers, season 14 This is a weird season to review, because I actually don’t remember most of it particularly clearly! The writers and actors strike resulted in the episode order getting slashed from 22 to 13 installments, eleven of which aired from October 2023 to January 2024. Then one more …
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 13
TV #24 of 2023: Bob’s Burgers, season 13 As usual, this family cartoon is again riding the bubble between a three- and a four-star program for me. I’ll round up on this occasion, because even though I don’t have much new critical insight to offer, enough of these individual episodes seem to stand out as …
Movie Review: The Bob’s Burgers Movie (2022)
Movie #1 of 2023: The Bob’s Burgers Movie (2022) This seemingly-unnecessary feature film installment for the long-running Fox cartoon turns out to be a delightful surprise, especially coming after several seasons of television that haven’t struck me as all too creatively fruitful. Perhaps the production team’s attention was on this project instead? Whatever the reason, …

TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 12
TV #2 of 2023: Bob’s Burgers, season 12 I’m not quite caught up on Bob’s Burgers — there’s the block that’s currently airing, plus the feature film that came out last summer yet to go. But this is the latest full season to be released, which I’m finally through after starting from the pilot and …
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 11
TV #59 of 2022: Bob’s Burgers, season 11 Maybe a slight step up from the year before? Most episodes of this family cartoon remain unchallenging comfort television with a group of characters we know and love, but there’s at least some effort here to occasionally push one or another of them into unfamiliar growth territory. …
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 10
TV #54 of 2022: Bob’s Burgers, season 10 A full decade into its span, and I am running out of things to say about Bob’s Burgers. This is the first season I’ve seen in a while that’s actually been new to me — I originally stopped watching after the previous one finished airing in 2019, …
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers season 9
TV #49 of 2022: Bob’s Burgers season 9 After watching roughly an episode a day for the past eight months, I’m now caught up to the point I was at in 2019 when I quit this program before. I noted back then: “As expected for an animated sitcom this far into its run, Bob’s Burgers …
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 8
TV #45 of 2022: Bob’s Burgers, season 8 I seem to have liked this season better when I watched it upon airing in 2018, given my review back then: “I don’t have much to say about this season of Bob’s Burgers that doesn’t apply to the show at large, but it remains impressively strong this …
TV Review: Bob’s Burgers, season 7
TV #41 of 2022: Bob’s Burgers, season 7 Here’s my original review of this season from when it aired in 2017: “There are typically few real surprises this late into a show’s run, and although this particular show is still making me laugh, I’d probably be okay if it got canceled. I’ve always loved how …
