Who’s hungry for a burger?! Well, I always am, and I’m also always in the mood for a good Bob’s Burgers binge fest. Bob’s Burgers has been on since 2011, and it has just kept getting better and better, and slowly developing a bigger following as audiences realize what they’re missing. With eight nice, long seasons and 150 episodes on Hulu as we speak, get ready to lose yourself with the Belcher family. (Hulu also has the 12 episodes currently available for season 9.)
The Belchers run a burger place named Bob’s Burgers, and they live in the apartment upstairs. The burger joint is a real family business, with the kids all working there after school and on weekends, even though they complain about it all the time. Bob works in the kitchen, and his wife Linda usually works the counter. The series follows the family’s wacky misadventures and their struggle to keep the restaurant afloat, especially with the bitter health inspector Hugo (Linda’s ex-fiancé) and Bob’s rival, Jimmy Pesto, who runs the Italian restaurant across the street.
No matter what happens to the restaurant, whether it’s being labeled as serving human meat (a total mix-up, by the way) or not having the money for rent, they still manage to come out on top, and best of all, no matter what happens, they’re still a family. In fact, they’re surprisingly close, in a very offbeat kind of way. The kids love to tease eldest daughter Tina for her boy-crazy ways and her awkward demeanor, but Gene and Louise still love her just the same. They all like to make fun of each other, actually, and that’s what makes them such a realistic, endearing family!
