Catalog log
Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
When Bosco goes to Bob needing to learn how to make a burger for an undercover mission to oust criminal and burger joint owner Vincent Balicki, it becomes obvious that the sergeant is severely lacking in cooking knowledge. As Bob's family constantly halts any progress in Bob's lessons, Bosco, still unseasoned, goes to his interview, only to meet with his potential criminal employer again back at Bob's Burgers for a spontaneous burger-making test.

Why this series still plays
The Belchers run a struggling burger joint while the kids generate beautiful problems and songs erupt without warning. Loren Bouchard's Fox animation is Bob's anxiety, Linda's whoop, Tina-Gene-Louise specificity. Kindest long-running adult animation of the decade without losing joke bite — working-class warmth, pun burgers, a movie, Ocean Avenue still open.
A struggling burger joint, kids generating beautiful problems, songs erupting without warning. Loren Bouchard's Fox animation premiered January 9, 2011, and never really left: H. Jon Benjamin's anxious Bob, John Roberts's Linda, Kristen Schaal's Louise, Dan Mintz's Tina, Eugene Mirman's Gene. Guest burgers are puns; love is non-negotiable. Storyboarded fantasy sequences and original songs are house style, not extras. The work is the griddle — working-class warmth as comic engine, joke bite intact.
