Bob's Burgers

3 nightmarish hours

weeee

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

this TV show is everything right in the world.

I saw the Bob's Burgers movie this weekend. If you are allergic to the series' periodic musical numbers, AVOID. Otherwise I would compare it to one of the better episodes, stretched out to feature length.

I love the music in the show, so I'm looking forward to this.

So many great recurring support characters in this show, I know I'm gonna be disappointed by the ones that don't appear in the film

This was great. But yes it could've used more Regular Size Rudy.

We started the movie last night, and it was fine, not bad at all. But at some point (that felt much closer to the end than to the beginning) we had to pause it and were shocked to learn that there were still 45 minutes left. So ... we bailed. Felt a little guilty, because this show is so charming and good, but I guess from our perspective it works much better in compact 22 minute form than as a feature, especially with a plot that didn't need the extra 80 (!) minutes.

fwiw the one-liner about coloring books on tape was one of the funniest throwaways I've ever heard, so it wasn't all a loss.

New xmas episode is great, one of the best. Sometimes I wonder if these characters still have another significant holiday in them while basically being frozen in time, but then they do.

really enjoyed that one too

remarkable how consistent it is, even in its billionth season. the characters never became too uh cartoonish, which is what happens to a lot of long-running comedies

Finally caught up with last year's Christmas episode and I'm pretty sure it's the best thing they've ever done
