Ratings Review: BOB'S BURGERS (Season Five)

BOB'S BURGERS is the forgotten animated series, on FOX. It occupies that odd space, on Sundays, when there is nothing else to program. You know, the Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. slot, during football season, for every other week. Or, when yet another new comedy fails, it moves to that slot. It is rather amazing the series has made it through five seasons.

In the Live+SD ratings, BOB'S BURGERS averaged 2.35 million viewers and a relatively decent 1.1 rating in Adults 18-49. That is over 31 airings, including 10 encore episodes. Take out the encore and the average is 2.58 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating.

In the Live+7 ratings, BOB adds a little to the grand total, with 3.26 million viewers (+39%) and a 1.6 demo rating (+45%). Good, but not great increases.
