Odd But Funny ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Is a Good Fit For Fox’s Sunday Animation Block

'Bob's Burgers'After years of trying to figure out what to pair with ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Family Guy’ on Sunday nights, FOX hit on a successful formula: Give Seth MacFarlane every timeslot after the venerable ‘Simpsons.’ It works, even if it made the night somewhat monolithic in nature. So any attempt at bringing in other voices to the ‘Animation Domination’ lineup should be welcomed.

Enter Loren Bouchard, who produced the “squigglevision” cult hit ‘Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist’ and the short-lived but well-regarded ‘Home Movies.’ His contribution to the FOX Sunday lineup is ‘Bob’s Burgers,’ which debuts Sunday, January 9 at 8:30PM ET. It’s a show that takes its cues as much from Adult Swim as it does its FOX counterparts. But for all of it’s irreverence and oddity, there’s a sweet tone underneath that makes the show more accessible than most of its AS cousins.

Oh, and it’s also pretty damn funny, to boot.
