Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for Fox Broadcasting Company. The show is currently airing its ninth broadcast season and on October 4, 2017, a feature film was announced for a 2020 release date.[1]
Plot
The show centers on a family that runs a hamburger restaurant. Loren Bouchard stated Bob's Burgers came out because of Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but that he also wanted to dabble in workplace comedy. The show is said to fill the void created by the cancellation of King of the Hill, which Bob's Burgers executive producer Jim Dauterive worked on for nearly its entire run.
