Last year, FOX gave Bob’s Burgers an early renewal because it takes longer to produce episodes of an animated show. The ratings fell more than 20% last year so will the show be as lucky this time around? Cancelled or renewed for a sixth season? Stay tuned.
Bob’s Burgers follows the Belcher family as they try to make their hamburger diner a success — despite frequent catastrophes and crazy customers. The voice cast includes H. Jon Benjamin, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal, and Larry Murphy.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you still like the Bob’s Burgers TV series? Do you think it should ever be cancelled?
When the show first came out on the fox network I could hardly stand it. I didnt watch two minutes of it but I saw it on netflix and decided to give it another chance. Mind = blown. I couldn’t stop laughing! It’s currently my favorite show. I’d pick Bob’s Burgers over Family Guy any day. This show is so unique and a little more relatable than the crazy antics of Family Guy. I was hurt to realize this season would make the series finale. I implore other networks to pick up a 6th season, and a 7th, and an… Read more »
Cancel this terrible terrible show. Can’t believe you chose this tardfest over American Dad.
Seriously.
Though I love Family Guy,I am tired Seth McFarlane thinking he can do no wrong. American Dad just does meet the standard for good, or funny, and too much tasteless double entendre is ruinous. We need variety.
This show shouldn’t be cancelled! It’s my favorite show and the characters bring me joy! I’ve seen every episode a least three times.
Amen!
Bob’s Burgers is the worst piece of crap Fox has ever aired. The Cleveland Show was better than it. Dead air time would be better. Videos of paint drying would be better.
It’s been renewed for a sixth season!
Bobs burgers should never be cancelled. This show brings me joy and lagufter for many years.
This show should remain on… Maybe move it to FX so it can be seen regularly by people who actually pay for cable TV… instead of people who just watch the 4 channels they have then complaining that its not what they like… also the way Fox is set up during that season, football messes up when it comes on so the time that it plays is missed all the time.
Time to flush this stool of a show down the toilet where it belongs.
There are many sites that say episode 1 had a 1.5 rating. And the renewal statement says the second episode held 100% from the first episode. This must mean that episode 1 had 1.5..
I’ve got sources for restated Nielsen data for that date but Bob’s Burgers wasn’t mentioned. However, I do have a copy of the press release and they do say that. I’ve adjusted the premiere rating but it doesn’t affect the season average.
DONT CANCEL THIS SHOW
It has so much potential to be amazing and it already is!! If family guy can keep running this can! Family guy is just disgusting and offensive. The main character hates and always pokes fun at and makes his daughter feel horrible while Bob and Linda embrace their children’s weirdness and makes them feel loved, even when Gene shows his true identity sometimes ,which most parents would probably be uncomfortable with.
Overall, this show is amazing and shouldn’t be cancelled! I love Bob’s Burgers
I really like this season of the show. I want it to keep going.
I think episode 2 had 2.89 million viewers
I’ve checked three sources and it seems my original source had transposed numbers. Thanks for the note!
This show is pretty good I really don’t think it should be cancelled like so many other good shows.
I think Bobs Burgers should be renewed for a 6th season. It has come far in only 5 seasons with unique character development and shows so much potential. It is the underdog you’ll be glad you rooted for.
Time change seems to have hurt the ratings.
