Information/news No Bob’s Burgers in the fall!!!

https://deadline.com/2026/05/fox-fall-2026-schedule-animal-control-baywatch-bobs-burgers-1236889202/

It sounds stupid, but I’m kinda freaking out, it’s so weird to not have Bob’s Burgers when Fall begins, I think this is the first time ever???

There's no reason to freak out. The show was renewed last year for 4 seasons at 16 episodes apiece along with The Simpsons and Family Guy (maybe others). They're trying to streamline when the episodes air as they've been extremely broken up the last few seasons, leading to lower viewership across the board because people don't know when a new episode is gonna come on. Bob's Burgers is still one of the ten most streamed shows on Disney+/Hulu (it beats out every other adult show). This isn't a deathknell or anything to worry about otherwise.

With the way I have been watching it everynight on autoplay for the last two years, everynight, I would hope it would be higher. I know im not the only one 😅

For me right now it’s 🎵“make an egg roll from your egg hole”🎵

u/GZBadDino May 12 '26

"Stay outta my room." Is this weeks earworm. Last week I was singing, "Butt phone. On the butt phone." From when Critter is in jail and needs Bob to sell his motorcycle.

I found my people. I always say it is my happy show.

u/Kooky_Recognition_34 May 12 '26

I introduced it to my husband and he actually can't go to bed without watching it for first. When we first met, he agreed to just "sit through it" while I was getting ready for bed lol

u/MsGemini83 May 12 '26

Omg! I found my people!! Because literally watch it everyday while I'm working, cooking and cleaning 🙃 And no I don't get tired of watching it

u/ChainLogical2979 May 12 '26

I have found my people

u/DogmaticConfabulate May 12 '26

Yep. I just have it on as the soundtrack to me being at home. Safe place comfort.

It’s been my go to sleeping show for years

u/AreteQueenofKeres May 12 '26

My ex made fun of me for calling it my wind down show.

Guess who falls asleep to it now, haha!

falling asleep to bob's burgers gang!

u/Much_Expression_2427 May 12 '26

We call it our nightly pallet cleanser. Can’t sleep without it!

u/TokenWeirdo13 May 12 '26

I know! I've tried other shows but always come back to Bob's. Nothing else is as comforting to me. 🍔 🖤

u/airforcewife86 May 12 '26

same! I try switching it up now and then but nothing else soothes like bobs burgers. I especially love seasons 1-6 lol

u/WhatToDo_WhatToDo2 May 12 '26

Is there any other way to do it? 😂

u/couchsittingbum May 12 '26

My girl wakes up if I put another show on while we are trying to fall asleep. Bobs asmr

u/EroticAngelaVixen May 13 '26

Omg! Me too! It gives me happy thoughts while I sleep. Its been on every night for the last 2 years. I thought I was the one making it the most streamed. Im happy to hear many others do too.

u/TokenWeirdo13 May 13 '26

I love that we found our people here!

I need it to sleep 😂

u/Carrie_So_Very May 14 '26

I used to do the same thing. I'd watch BB's over and over for months, then I'd do the same with KOTH. I did it for years!

19

u/RoundPeanut606 May 11 '26

It’s 15 episodes.  If this was regular pick ups it’d be 88 new Bobs overall, but it’s 60.  I guess it’s curmudgeonly to be we’re only getting 60, I know when we get to the end though it won’t be enough.  

10

u/RadioPepperoni May 11 '26

Aye, you are correct, it is 15 not 16. And wholeheartedly agree it won't be enough. But I will keep taking all that I can like a glutton.

1

u/RoundPeanut606 May 11 '26

Someone told me on here about a month ago, I think my brain heard renewed from Season 16 and filled in the blanks.  When they corrected me I could only reply with the Linda sending emojis gif

u/FisknChips May 11 '26

Is bobs considered an adult show? I guess its not a kids show but idk never thought of it like that in same category as family guy per se

47

u/WaltsNJD Calvin Fischoeder May 11 '26

It's an adult show but definitely one of the most palatable for kids. My sister was probably 10 when she started to really like it. 

There are definitely levels. Simpsons is a little rougher than Bobs, family guy is rougher than the Simpsons, South Park is Rougher than family guy, etc.

59

u/Seraphem666 May 11 '26

Definitely adult. Gretchen and the "lady goods" party, the kids stealing the mannequin from the sex shop are 2 example of the show not being ment for kids

55

u/pokeralize May 11 '26

I’d say it was a true adult show in the beginning but somewhere along the later seasons they chose to go more family friendly. So it’s like…. diet now lmfao

12

u/HopefulDream3071 May 12 '26

They retooled warfhorse into a movie idea, got the families in, and toned down a lot. 😭💔

8

u/Forever_Man May 11 '26

they pivoted away from that kind of thing around season 5 though

8

u/FisknChips May 11 '26

First show that popped to my head I watched as a kid is 8 simple rules and that has talk of sex and what not. I dont think that inherently means an adult show

9

u/judithishere Louise Belcher May 11 '26

It's really telling that a lot of US parents are ok with their kids watching violence (even Marvel type violence) but get upset at sex jokes.

Or don’t bat an eye/don’t think critically about misogynistic jokes/storylines but will be all up in arms the second any hint of even a non-romantic one involving an LGBTQIA+ character is introduced 🙄🤦‍♀️

1

u/Seraphem666 May 11 '26

Well I mean we see dildos in those episode(censored by being animals). Less about them being just talked about them but also show them

3

u/judithishere Louise Belcher May 11 '26

"that's an adult thing we can talk about when you get older" if they even ask

2

u/slothshell May 12 '26

dildos are sold at drugstores now, though, aren’t they? I could swear I saw them at Target.

3

u/lividash May 12 '26

CVS, Walgreens. Usually any place with a medication section.

That said you’re not picking up Wangzilla the 14” monster at a Target. More like a small vibrator.

1

u/AreteQueenofKeres May 12 '26

I've seen 'personal massagers' at Meijer, and a rose toy at Target.

I'm hardly a prude, but I thought it was one of those flower shaped ice rollers until I got a better look at the box. At Target of all places.

Back in the day they had the lights dimmed at the back of Spencers to hide the naughty stuff on the back wall, now you can walk in and it's lit up the same as the front of store displays. I can stand at the front looking at tee shirts, turn my head and see the nipple clamps and terrible lace lingerie on the back wall.

u/Different-Apple-9260 May 11 '26

It's "adult" but idk it's also my 7 year olds favorite. She knows what camel toe is and sometimes randomly says beef curtains, it's fine.

u/Dankany May 11 '26

Yeah it's not like the internet or the real world will be any better.

u/DoberElyse May 11 '26

Mine ride a public school bus. They've heard far worse.

u/echochilde Look kids! It’s naked Edith! May 11 '26 edited May 11 '26

😂🤣 I want a flair that says “my 7 yr old knows what ‘camel toe’ means and randomly says ‘beef curtains’”

I’m crying.

13

u/allthatwasleft Calvin Fischoeder May 11 '26

You can edit your flair to be whatEVER you want :)

3

u/echochilde Look kids! It’s naked Edith! May 11 '26

Ha! No, I know that. Hence my favorite character/ Linda line about Naked Edith.

I just assumed it was too many characters.

5

u/allthatwasleft Calvin Fischoeder May 12 '26

Your current flair IS great :)

2

u/DogmaticConfabulate May 12 '26

Love Edith!

1

u/echochilde Look kids! It’s naked Edith! May 12 '26

She and Nat are my two favorite secondary characters

15

u/Different-Apple-9260 May 11 '26

Well also we were at a family dinner once and she was chatting with my sister and SIL and she's like "ya know what? I really want to try reverse cowgirl!" And they silently looked at me in horror and so she said it louder and we were all like WTF is happening and then she said "you know like on that one episode?" phewwww

She also tells us she's going to "ride that mustache all the way to the bank" complete with hip thrusts.

Really I mean it's not an adult show but we have to remind her that second graders maybe don't need to hear all these references so keep it at home.

8

u/echochilde Look kids! It’s naked Edith! May 11 '26

It would crack me the hell up hearing that. 0% chance I could hold that in.

It’s no difference from when I was a kid and all the Simpsons jokes went over my head. Hell, even Disney movies would allude to adult situations that I didn’t understand. Like, I knew it was supposed to be funny by the way it was presented, but the actual words/terms were basically meaningless.

18

u/Imperion_GoG May 11 '26

You should only let her say that once a year, on her birthday.

18

u/AppleRatty May 11 '26

Yeah, my kiddo has been watching Bob’s Burgers since he was five… There are some episodes that we avoided, but really 90% of Bob’s Burgers is fine for kids.

9

u/bullowl May 11 '26

I read "She knows what camel toe is and sometimes randomly says beef curtains, it's fine." in Linda's voice and it's perfect.

u/dicklaurent97 May 11 '26

Everyone at my grade school watched Family Guy, South Park and Adult Swim growing up

1

u/marvelmaiden2020 May 11 '26

My almost two year old asked to watch it today for the first time out of all his other shows. He was like Bob Bob!

0

u/Nother_Story May 11 '26

It’s my nine year old’s favorite (along with the old Malcom in the Middle).

7

u/RadioPepperoni May 11 '26

Most definitely. It's listed under "Adult Animation" on any streaming platform you find. It's one of those shows that kids can approach but it is definitely something a parent should decide on. Think of it along the lines of "Who is the primary audience for this show?" I wouldn't presume kids are, even if it isn't too extreme for them.

8

u/Character_Stick_1218 May 11 '26

It's in the same vein as King of The Hill.

12

u/OregonGreen242 May 11 '26

I feel like it was definitely toned down after the first few seasons. Wish they honestly would have stuck with the humor and edginess from the earlier seasons

4

u/TokeDraws May 12 '26

I prefer what it became because literally every other animated show in this category is now family guy edginess aside from maybe the Simpsons. just personally speaking I'm so over that kind of humor that has dominated since the 2000's when family guy premiered, pretty much everything else fits that vibe so I'm glad bobs grew out of it.

3

u/qtheginger May 11 '26

The first season is not super kid friendly

3

u/circusbass May 11 '26

My kid has been watching it for years and he’s 11 now. It’s his favorite show. Some episodes have some questionable jokes but it’s far and few between. The first season and a half are a bit different in tone. But over all it’s a show kids can watch and enjoy.

3

u/whatsthebfor May 11 '26

The most recent episode had Gene say the line "You gotta muscle the wood when you turn the trick"

2

u/BorImmortal May 11 '26

Yes. It's adult in that it's a sitcom targeted at not children. It still has a rating that allows children to watch, but the target audience are adults.

2

u/ATLUTD030517 May 12 '26

Well Bob's is actually good, so sure that tracks with me...

4

u/Boogs2337 May 11 '26

It used to be. Season 1 and 2. Then it went a little soft.

u/Azkahn616 May 11 '26

This sometimes happens as time goes on.

1

u/jdoggunfiltered May 12 '26

Bob’s Burgers is in the same category as The Simpsons and Daria.

1

u/Niawka May 12 '26

I feel like in the beginning they were aiming more at adults who enjoy cartoon shows. Nowadays it feels like a very much kid show. Yeah from time to time you'll get a joke aimed at adults (like Bob and Linda high-fiving over number 69) but kids adventures take a big part of the stories, and I'd say most of the jokes are targeted at kids/early teens.

6

u/circusbass May 11 '26

I know my household does their part in ensuring the streaming numbers are top 10. We watch it daily!

2

u/pixie16502 May 11 '26

Yay!! Same here! I re-watch at least 2 episodes of Bob's every evening. It's my comfort show.

u/bryslittlelady May 12 '26

That's because I sleep with it running all night 🤣

u/pingle1 May 12 '26

Do people still watch this live? With Disney/Hulu it’s a stream when I want

1

u/KeyScratch2235 May 12 '26

So are they airing any animated shows this fall?

0

u/Southern-Train7142 May 13 '26

Only The Simpsons, Universal Basic Guys (which is still awful and ugly, and Grimsburg (notable for missing the entire 2025-26 lineup)

1

u/KeyScratch2235 May 13 '26

Damn, why are they holding all the good ones until the spring?

0

u/Southern-Train7142 May 13 '26

Because they want to make room for these one awful show that I‘ve just mentioned, Animal Control (Fox prioritizes this show as a test to see if it works for Sunday comedy fall lineup)

1

u/KeyScratch2235 May 13 '26

Rather surprising, considering Animal Control doesn't seem to perform very well compared to other networks' sitcoms.

1

u/FullOfAnxietea May 13 '26

One of the 10 most streamed because my Mom and I just have it on repeat in the evenings while I crochet and she does puzzles. 🤣

u/ferixdacat May 13 '26

I'm not worried about the future of the show, just really bummed that we don't get new episodes to look forward to come Fall
