Bob’s Burgers Season 15’s Standout Episode Proves Everyone Compares It To The Wrong Animated Show

Although Bob’s Burgers is constantly compared to The Simpsons, season 15's Halloween special proves that comparison isn't as apt as it may seem. Bob’s Burgers owes a lot to The Simpsons. Both shows are warm character comedies that center on a family of five that includes a well-meaning father, a kind mother, and a trio of children, two girls and one boy. Admittedly, The Simpsons is now the longest-running scripted primetime American TV show in history, so Bob’s Burgers has a lot of catching up to do.
