Family Guy and South Park are amazingly creative, hilarious, and downright legendary. They're sort of polar opposites in a couple ways though... Family Guy is all-out, outrageous, politically incorrect, humor with the random cuts to flash-back scenes, Broadway show tune-style musical performances, etc. South Park is more of an organized satire that covers socioeconomic topics, current events, etc, in a more of a "linear" sequential television series style.Both are amazing, and I think Bob's Burgers is an amalgamation of these two types of animated shows. That's not to say that it is better than the aforementioned shows in any way, but I feel they're all three spectacular on the same level... creative, inventive, witty, etc, etc, etc. There are others as well such as Rick and Morty, but that's a conversation for a different day...

I 'cut the (cable) cord' about 5 years ago, and it's been wonderful.Each day seems to bring even more choices, more options for what I wish to watch.One streaming channel I have is Hulu, and because the channel was initially founded by several TV networks, Hulu had access to a lot- of what had been top-rated shows, and what is currently 'new'.I just saw something entitled Bob's Burgers. It's never seen it, but, by the vagueness of the show's general outline, I decided to give it a shot.Now, let me tell you; I did all kinds of things funny, add long as they're funny. Saying'dirty' words for no reason, other than'because we can' is not only ridiculous, it's infantile, and shots a lack of creative ability.I put on the first episode - entitled 'Human Flesh'.This is'our' - the viewing audiences initial chance to get a sense of the creators talent, and this means we get to see what it is they think the viewing audience would (happily) spend time - week in, week out, season after season.The'creative team' behind this wants this premiere to be the best possible, in story, and animation.For those old enough to remember the 'limited' animation style of late 70's, and 80's cartoons, and yearned for the days of Warner Bros. Loony Tunes, and didn't think animation could get ANY worse, guess again.There's an old saying; give 100 word typewriters, and over of them will type or a story.Well, give them 100 animation stations top work at, and the 99 out of the 100 - there work would STILL be better than this nightmare.It seriously seems like the thieves who make this - somehow convinced network brass of their skills, and even when this Technicolor vomit was first screened to them, they STILL asked it to air (f-x will put ANYthing on the air, other than a network sign-off).The opening of this - the first episode, introduced us to the main characters, which happen to be a family named...'Belchers'.I hear the sound of water doing in the deafening silence.O-kay, so, it seems this series' 'creative' talent is below snagging a peak at their older brother's Playboy magazine, but older than someone who finds everything about the word 'booger' hysterical.But not by much.The titular Bob is standing behind the counter of his family's owned and operated diner/burger joint, and he's telling the assembled family (his wife, who's choice actor is probably the least talented, as he - yes, a man - makes no effort to even sound vaguely'woman-like', and I think there's 3 kids, ranging in age from about 10 to the late teens (it's very hard to tell. The animation artists who drew this debacle have difficulty in drawing people of different ages).A Bob's explaining the 're, re, re, re, re, re-opening (hysterical...) He turns to (what he identifies as his) ten aged daughter (though, other than his saying so, the animation, and voice work - another man, doing the choice of this 'teen-aged girl', are so snubs l abysmal I'd be willing to bet if anyone was just given a look at a cell of this character's artwork, NO ONE would be able to tell), and tells her she's the'grill cook'.To which she replies.... her crotch had been itching.To hammer home how'hysterical' this moment is - a man doing the voice of a (supposed) teen-aged girl, who's... crotch is itching, the 'teenager' says it REPEATEDLY, and to add to the'guffaws', we get to see 'her'- scratching 'down there' (though the seem censors apparently thought it was 'too much' too not just have an animated teen-aged girl -with a man's voice - describing this, they had the'good sense' to have the animated 'crotch' cut below the bottom of the screen), so all we viewers get - to see - is drawn teen-aged girls hands vigorously rubbing'down there', with the sound effects of(what sounds like( someone rubbing a shag carpet.That this was the first minute is bad enough. That the network brass said 'keep making more' is scary, that this garbage has- somehow - found a brain-dead audience large enough to have the network continue to suit this, asked how far, and how FAST society's FALLING.it goes without saying this... turd' is brought to air by that joke of a network; f-x

What an awesome TV show. If you're looking for a comedy to be obsessed with, the search is over. The Belcher family is a very peculiar one, they own a hamburger restaurant and they're very dramatic which leads them to many adventures.It's clever, the humor is original and fresh, and the characters are so quirky and unique! Every character is a piece of gold, for example, Tina is an awkward and hormonal teenager with low self-esteem (and her voice is so funny, it's actually a man doing it). All characters are funny and almost every episode is hilarious!I absolutely love this show. It's currently on its fifth season. There's really nothing left to say. Forget The Simpsons, American Dad or Family Guy for now, this one is so much funnier. Go watch it!
