Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company.[citation needed]
History[]
Creator Loren Bouchard said Bob's Burgers came about because Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but he also wanted to dabble in workplace comedy. [1] In his original concept, the family were cannibals, but Fox executives convinced him to drop that aspect of the series. [2] However, the idea was referenced in the pilot episode when Louise spreads a rumor that the burgers were made of humans. The series has generally been viewed as a spiritual successor to King of the Hill, which carried less emphasis on shock comedy and focused more on character-driven humor. Bob's Burgers executive producer Jim Dauterive worked on King of the Hill for nearly its entire run. [3]
Before the series aired, the team created a proof of concept so Fox knew what to expect if they bought the series. Bouchard hired some local artists to work on the pilot. These included Jay Howell, the character designer, and Sirron Norris, the background designer. [4]
The original pilot can be seen on the DVD release of the first season, released on April 17, 2012. [5]
Bob's Burgers first appeared on the development slate at FOX on August 6, 2009. [6] On December 1, 2009, Fox ordered 13 episodes for the first season. On May 17, 2010, Fox placed the series on the primetime slate for the 2010–11 television season. [7]
