TV | Brief review of Bobs Burgers!

Google Images: "You're my children and I love you, but you're all terrible at what you do...here."
I'd like to start off by saying I watch this damn show nearly everyday. 
One day I heard about it from my friends at uni. I didn't think much of it and at first I'll admit I wasn't too keen, since I was kinda late getting into the show. 
I find that season one and two definitely had it's weaknesses. 
Though I do feel that Bob's Burgers wanted to be more than just another gross-out comedy with a generous side helping of callousness, it did sometimes dip into the cliched, Family Guy-esque territory of depicting bodily functions and evil genius level maliciousness. 
However, as the series progressed the show greatly improved, with the fart-jokes being replaced with dialogue based, dry humor and the plot also becoming more creative and unpredictable. 
It does indulge in flaring, out-of-control emotions, but these outbursts are conveyed with a level of personable comprehension. 
I also love the unique charm and quirkiness of the characters. 
Tina's awkward, pubescent-driven obsession with butts, horses and cute boys kinda steals the show for me, but Bob's sardonic sense of humor is also very endearing. The devotion the family has for each other is obvious, despite them not being a "perfect sitcom family". Bob and Linda certainly are not a perfect couple. Linda loses her temper often and Bob can be pretty spineless at times. 
But they do really care about each other, so they're pretty relateable and human

Go see what I mean and watch the show for yourselves...
