13 Episodes 2011 - 2011
This animated sitcom follows the escapades of third-generation hamburger restaurateur Bob Belcher (voice of H. Jon Benjamin), who always seems to be in a financial pickle, and his quirky family, which includes his perpetually perky missus, Linda (John Roberts), and three children. The youngest is Louise (Kristen Schaal), who sports a pink bunny-ears hat; middle child Gene (Eugene Mirman) likes to don the store's burger-and-bun mascot uniform; and eldest daughter, Tina (Dan Mintz), is a nervous and neurotic 13-year-old. First-season highlights include the premiere episode in which a health inspector arrives at the diner after Louise informs her classmates that her father's special ingredient in his meat patties is human flesh. In other standout outings, Linda and the kids stage a musical murder-mystery play at the restaurant, but an abrupt interruption impacts opening night; and Bob's hero, washed-up baseball player Torpedo Jones (Robert Ben Garant), joins the local minor-league team and befriends Bob.
