''Bob's Burgers'' is an American animated television sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the [[FoxFOX]] Broadcasting Company, starring [[Archer|H. Jon]] [[The Venture Bros|Benjamin]]. The show, according to Fox's publicity Web site, is about "a man, his family and their floundering burger joint. Despite the greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob and his lovable and quirky family are convinced their burgers are their ticket to success".
 
Loren Bouchard stated that ''Bob's Burgers'' came out of the fact that Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but that he also wanted to dabble in workplace comedy.

Tina was also blackmailed into cutting class with her by threatening to show her crush her "erotic friend fiction" of him.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Loren Bouchard reveals on the Season 1 DVD set that the show was initially pitched as a grotesque cartoon about a cannibal family, which Fox rejected. A snippet from the original 'cannibal' version of the "Human Flesh" episode is shown.
