Ratings Review: BOB'S BURGERS (Season Three)

BOB's BURGERS is the one animated comedy, on FOX, I really no little about. I have not watched an episode from the series. But based on the ratings, it lives and dies by the success of its lead in, THE SIMPSONS.

BOB's BURGERS may be #3 on the FOX list of current 'toons on the network. It has the best time slot, between THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY, and the more consistent airing schedule after the two top ranked FOX Sunday programs.

The series is starting to gain favor with fans and audiences alike. After the second season, the animated series was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. It's metacritic score rose from a 54 (out of 100), for the first season, to a 78 for season two.

BOB'S BUGERS should see at least two more season, at the very least, but with FOX, I could see it getting many more seasons, as long as the bottom does not fall out of the Animation Domination block.
