Absurdist animation about a dentist married to a podiatrist. They have no kids (two dogs are enough of a handful) and ordinary lives, but the short film this series is based on, 'Bob's Birthday,' won a 1995 Oscar. Originally Londoners, Bob and Margaret moved to Toronto after their second season (the series is Canadian-produced). Series co-creator Alison Snowden provides the voice of Margaret Fish.
Based on the Academy Award-winning short film 'Bob's Birthday' created by David Fine and Alison Snowden, this charming, witty animated series focuses on the ordinary lives of a middle class dentist and his foot doctor wife. Together, they tackle such traumas as being burgled, going on a package holiday and deciding whether or not having a child will ruin their lives. They do all this with a gentle restraint and a keen sense of the absurd. Bob and Margaret provides a whole new way to look - and laugh - at life's ordinary occurrences that we all experience.
