December 1, 2009 - FOX continues to aggressively build their animation slate. The network has ordered thirteen episodes of a new animated series, Bob's Burgers, reports Variety.
The series comes from Loren Bouchard (Dr. Katz) and Jim Dauterive (King of the Hill) and is about "a man who runs a struggling restaurant along with his tightly-wound wife and three underachieving kids."
With most of FOX's animated series focusing on suburban families, Bouchard tells Variety the goal here was also to include a bit of a workplace comedy scenario. He also adds, "It's a little more urban than other shows going on. Bob's Burgers has an outer-borough, Jersey feel to it."
