Bob’s Burgers: Season Five Ratings

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.
