Would you like to play a game?

It doesn't help the schedule for Bob's has been all over the place as to what Sundays get new episodes.
No kidding, they aired like 3 episodes between Sept-Jan and they all had to be holiday episodes (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas).

Bob's Burgers is in The Sports Death Slot, basically. Either they get bumped off because of games running late or preempted because of an 8 pm game needs 30 minutes of commentary beforehand. Same thing happened with Futurama.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


To be fair, nothing much new has aired on Fox on Sunday due to the Olympics and award shows.

The last episode of "The Simpsons" has been in January. Same goes for Family Guy and Last Man on Earth.

Bob's Burgers is only 1 or 2 episodes behind this season compared to those other shows.

Same thing with King of the Hill. I swear the last few seasons I only saw about half its episodes becuase of that. You'd turn on fox at 7:30 and you'd see the assholes talking about sportsball, then it would end, and suddenly Cotton was dead.

Supposedly Bob's Burgers is getting a movie, which is kinda surprising considering it's scheduling

yeah it bottles my mind why FOX ever shows sports instead of cartoons. why do people like things I don't like?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

FlamingLiberal posted:

I feel like the show pretty much stays at a flat level now, where there are not a lot of standout episodes like in Season 2 or so, when I was on the floor laughing at some of the writing. It's become a lot more situational humor.

I also guess people on here have lost interest anyway since nobody made a thread for this season, last I checked

Could chalk that up to fewer people posting too

I think the better question is why do they consistently schedule episode premiers just after sports game slots they know drat well frequently run long? If I wanted a show to die I'd change its run date every other week since at the very least premiers get better ratings that repeats.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Oh hey here's a major episode, that will probably be cut short because of end game discussion.

We've been the best team all year.

They're just finding out.
The thing is, when they DON'T run long, something like an NFL game is one of the best lead ins there is. The slot can be a ratings benefit.

I was wrong about Roger but still loved how it turned out. That was a solid episode.

loving Jack ruins everything. Also when it's not Christmas he isn't Krampus anymore. That's good to know. I kind of want to see him come back to do more eye patch jokes. I still want to try his whiskey shot in the eye socket one...

Jumped off the American Dad train after it went to TBS because it felt like that 1st TBS season was trying too hard, and the show basically had run out of gas.

Jumped back in to the current season out of boredom. I was wrong. Show still owns.

1st TBS season was originally a Fox season. It took them until midway through the second until they burned through the episodes they had in the can if I remember right.

Unless it was just changed your red text has not been pornafied. Not enough weird capatilization and non-sequitar sex acts in it. Someone bought me this after I posted a screenshot of what it did to my red text.

The thread was "Something Awful After Dark" and I think it's gone to the gold mine. Not even sure if the site itself is still up.

I do think that first season TBS was weak, regardless of who it was produced for. Everything after that has been great though.

No they just added all the previous seasons up last week. They're next day for network, but aside from a few exceptions, cable tv shows get added after the season has run.
