Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company. It is centered on the Belcher family—parents Bob and Linda and their three children, Tina, Gene, and Louise—who run a burger restaurant and often go on adventures of many kinds. The show premiered on January 9, 2011. The series was conceived by Bouchard after he developed Home Movies. Bob's Burgers is produced by Wilo Productions, and Buck & Millie Productions in association with 20th Television Animation. The series is animated by Bento Box Entertainment.

While reviews for the first season were mixed, feedback for subsequent seasons has been more positive. The series premiere, "Human Flesh", drew in 9.39 million viewers, making it the highest-rated series premiere of the season and finishing ninth in the ratings for the week it aired.[4][5] Since then, the series has grown to be a critical and cultural success. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Bob's Burgers as one of the 60 Greatest TV Cartoons of All Time.[6] The series has been nominated for several awards, including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program eleven consecutive times (2012–2022), winning in 2014 and 2017. Reruns began airing on Cartoon Network's programming blocks Adult Swim on June 23, 2013, and ACME Night from 2021,[7][8] and began airing in syndication on local stations in September 2015.

The series has been renewed for its fourteenth and fifteenth seasons.[9][10] A feature film was released in theatres on May 27, 2022.[11][12] A comic book series based on the series, published by Dynamite Entertainment, began in September 2014.[13] A soundtrack album was released on Sub Pop Records on May 12, 2017,[14] with a second volume released on August 20, 2021.[15]
