“Bob’s Burgers” Makes You Want Vegetarian Says Boise Weekly

Bob’s Burgers got a lukewarm reaction from us, but the weekly alternative newspaper Boise Weekly has complaints its burger experience was served raw in an article titled, “Bob’s Burgers Might Make You Go Vegetarian.”
“Bob’s Burgers, about two months into its debut, is a show about Bob Belcher and his family–a wife with a grating New York accent (voiced by a man), a dumb son who doesn’t understand anything and two dumb daughters who don’t understand anything. They’re trying to run a profitable hamburger shop.”
“I doubt that anyone will ever quote Bob the way they do Peter Griffin or the way they used to quote Homer Simpson? Cow-related material can be amusing but it seems unlikely that “I’m not taking a bath with Moo-lissa” will become a cultural touchstone.”
Ouch!
For some reason, the show has nixed the mock PETA office that had headquarters next door, as it’s no longer shown in the opening credits.
Bob hasn’t thought to add a veggie burger to the menu, so he still hasn’t gotten any points from us.
If we’re going to get any character to do anything vegetarian, it’ll come from Bob’s daughter Tina, who developed a crush on her hippy, long-haired martial arts instructor in the “Sexy Dance Fighting” episode. That guy had to have been doing yoga and granola at the same time in order to kick Bob’s butt like he did.
