20 Best TV Shows Of 2019
9. Bob’s Burgers
Bob’s Burgers just keeps on trucking. Originally paired with Family Guy, The Simpsons and American Dad on Fox to help it find an audience, the Belchers are now the most consistent family in the animation domination lineup, with American Dad even being booted to another channel.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s probably not better than Rick & Morty. There’s no reason to compare them other than the animation, but as people will it’s worth noting Bob’s Burgers had a stonking 32 episodes this year (across two seasons), so just has more gems to pick from, and therefore lands itself higher.
The animated family make for a charming show, working together far more often than they fight, and occupying a strangely unique area of television. There’s no punching down or cheap shots, just relatable, enjoyable comedy.
The one liner writing continues to be brilliant, and though they’ve let themselves run wilder with story ideas in recent seasons, they’ve never lost heart.
