Although its ratings fell yet again last year, the Bob’s Burgers TV show wasn’t cancelled. It was safe, largely because it was already renewed through season eight, but also because so many more expensive FOX comedies and dramas earned even worse numbers. This year, fans don’t have the luxury of knowing its status at the start of the eighth season. Will Bob’s Burgers be cancelled or renewed for season nine? We’ll have to wait and see, so stay tuned.
An animated FOX comedy, Bob’s Burgers centers on Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin). This third generation restaurateur operates Bob’s Burgers with the help of his charming and musical wife, Linda (John Roberts). The couple’s three kids pitch in, too. The awkward Tina (Dan Mintz) is their eldest daughter. Middle child, Gene (Eugene Mirman) is whimsical, if a bit goofy. The clever and even cunning Louise (Kristen Schaal) is their youngest. While Bob has big ideas about burgers, his location is lacking. Meanwhile, the rest of the clan falls short on service. **Status update, below.
