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.”
