15 Most Underrated TV Shows Of The Decade (So Far)

14. Bob's Burgers

Fox

The Show: An animated comedy following the Belcher family as they run a hamburger restaurant and have to deal with their fierce competitors, some truly bizarre customers and the weirdness that comes with being a member of the Belcher clan.

Why It's Underrated: Bob's Burgers absolutely got off to a slow start, with many dismissing it simply because it seemed to be aiming at a market that was already cornered by Family Guy, but this show is much more than that. What really differentiates this from any of Seth MacFarlane's show is the focus on workplace humour, which often gives it a feel more akin to Dilbert or any of Mike Judge's work-based comedies.

After the mixed reviews of the first season, things did pick up during season two, eventually being nominated for numerous awards and even winning a Primetime Emmy. Still, the show flies under the radar compared to the likes of Family Guy and The Simpsons, despite being infinitely funnier than either of those shows in their current states, being well past their prime by now. Reaching the adult highs of Family Guy without the same feeling of laziness and featuring the well-developed characters of earlier Simpsons seasons, Bob's Burgers might be the funniest animation on TV today.
