Bob’s Burgers: The 50 Best Original Songs
When you’re watching an average episode of Bob’s Burgers, there are some fixtures of the programs you can always count on seeing: Series regulars like H. Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal, the conversational style of the dialogue, the burger-based puns. But just as prominent in this animated comedy are musical numbers.

Across over 230 episodes, Bob’s Burgers has delivered countless memorable tunes, which makes it seemingly impossible to ...
Jay Johnston Fired From Bob’s Burgers After Attending January 6th Capitol Riot: Report
While we’ve yet to really see adequate reparations for the MAGA crowd who instigated the January 6th riot at the US Capitol, actor Jay Johnston is facing some consequences.

As The Daily Beast points out, Johnston made his last Bob’s Burgers appearance in the Season 11 episode “The Bridge Over Trouble...

Although spooky season is sadly behind us, that doesn’t mean horror hounds have to put away the creepy for Christmas. No, no, they just have to add more.
