6	''Bob's Burgers'' is an American LongRunner animated sitcom created by Creator/LorenBouchard and developed by Bouchard and {{Showrunner}} Jim Dauterive for the Creator/{{Fox}} Broadcasting Company, starring Creator/HJonBenjamin, Creator/{{John Roberts\|Actor}}, Creator/DanMintz, Creator/EugeneMirman, Creator/KristenSchaal, and Creator/LarryMurphy. It follows Bob Belcher, his family and their floundering burger joint.

8	Loren Bouchard stated that ''Bob's Burgers'' came out of the fact that Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but that he also wanted to dabble in [[WorkCom workplace comedy]].

10	''Bob's Burgers'' gains most of its humor through quirky characters and situations that also display a level of realism that is rarely seen in animated shows. Especially noteworthy is the show's realistic portrayal of the Belchers as a financially unstable working class family, the interactions between imaginative children and busy, half-interested adults, and a level of diversity amongst the cast and guest stars that mostly avoids stereotyping. For these reasons, it falls very close to ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' on the adult animation spectrum, steering clear of most AnimatedShockComedy tropes. Indeed, some have considered it a [[SpiritualSuccessor worthy (if crazier) successor.]]
