Considering that New Girl has developed into a charming and very funny sitcom and that American Dad has been very good for a while now, I'd say the fact that Bob's Burgers regularly blows them both out of the water is pretty impressive.

I'd go so far as to say the only shows on network that are consistently funnier are Parks & Rec and Community.

Yes, I am saying it is in the s*** tier with Napoleon Dynamite, The Cleveland Show, and Allen Gregory. If I wanted to see H. Jon Benjamin carry a show I'd watch something a lot better like Dr. Katz, Archer, or Home Movies where at least the supporting cast has its moments. Bob's Burgers is atrocious in both its animation and its undeniably annoying family, those voices just ruin it for me...

This show actually has a fanboy?!?

It must be more popular than I thought...

And despite your blunt claim of my ignorance for insulting a mediocre, childish show you have an unnecessary devotion to, I can assure you I have seen about 3 episodes, the animation and constant booger/fart jokes were too much to sit through beyond that...

I don't think this is even close to true, though I'm not going to search through my logs to prove you wrong

Remember that time you gave up on the Breaking Bad after seeing only the first three episodes? That was funny.

(never mind the fact that comparing long serialized dramas to animated sitcoms is like comparing pineapples to cows)

Has been for years. Syndication allure kept it to a fourth season and Act of God (listed on lease agreements everywhere) kept it going for one more.

This is the problem with people (and with TV)

Pilots are rarely indicative of how great a series can be. Pilots are almost always average at best. People are rarely patient enough to give shows time to come into their own, find their footing. If people didn't give Parks & Rec more than 6 episodes then where would it be?

However, the cancellations of Allen Gregory and Napoleon Dynamite is good enough for me.

No. You are completely ass-backwards here Cokes.

The reason it's called a Pilot is because it takes the show off. If the Pilot is of poor quality, then that's a problem with the show, not the people watching it. Producers know that their pilots have to be damn good to keep people watching - if they make a bad pilot, then they are bad producers, dishing out a bad product.

Parks and Rec didn't have the greatest pilot, but it wasn't terrible, and episode 2 of it was great. Lost had an amazing pilot.
